This was great but is no longer working. NOW Just use: Ctrl+Shift+P As feature is now built into Google Docs!!! The function is also available under the View Tab.

I can't even find it in my add-ons! A bit pointless really. I'll have to use Word because I'm doing my dissertation and need to ensure my formatting remains uniform.

Got it to install and using it by displaying the hidden formatting marks actually added to the length of the document and pushed a bunch of content onto a second page. Not really helpful when you're looking for the hidden formatting that is causing a second blank page in the first place. I so wanted this to work! I use this feature in Microsoft Word all the time.

Not a useful alternative to the functionality present in MS Word. It doesn't do the same thing. For instance it will insert a paragraph character but deleting that character doesn't remove the carriage return. Don't believe the top google result that seems to indicate that this is how you get Google docs to do what MS Word will do without an addon.

Does not work. The menu (extensions/ add-ons/ show) shows only the "help" option. Edit: It works, just a complicated process: With your document opened, Click Add-ons and then Manage add-ons. Choose the Show add-on from the list. Click Manage and then Use in this document to turn the add-on on or off.

Doesn't work. Can't figure out why. I've tried with super expensive macs and cheap laptops, Business Google accounts and free ones. Always in chrome of course,

I used from my old computer and it worked fine. Since I got the new computer, after I install it, it works, but the next time I attempt to use it, the only option the pops up is Help. And that is useless since there is no way to contact the developer and get a solution. I have to reinstall it each time I need it, and I always need it.
