The writing and editing of texts has been the order of the day for years, for which we use specific programs such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. In addition, the use that we will later make of these created documents is very varied, hence the wide functionality that they offer us.
Of the many uses that we can give to the text documents that we create in any current editor, in these lines we want to focus on one specific one. We want to talk to you about the possibility of converting these files that, for example, we create in the Google Docs text editor, into a web page. As you can imagine this will allow us to publish it online later and share it with the rest of the world. Of course, it is recommended that a priori in the document that we create with the editor we add all the contents that we want to be part of the future website.
Here we refer to elements such as the corresponding images or tables that we wish to include in that website that we will publish. Perhaps at first the fact of converting a simple text document of your own into a web page seems like something for advanced users. But nothing is further from reality, as we will show you below. In fact, today we could say that turning a document into a web page is within everyone’s reach.
To do this, for example, we can use an intuitive web application called Pagify that will help us greatly in this process. First of all, we will say that we can access this platform from any internet browser. Specifically, here we are talking about an online tool whose main objective is to convert a Google Docs file quickly and easily.
Create a website from a Google Docs document with Pagify
The first thing we should know is that with this online platform that we mentioned we have the possibility of creating all kinds of web pages. To a great extent, all this will depend on the format that we have given to the original document. Keep in mind that Google Docs natively it has a function to publish these texts. The drawback is that the resulting web pages are not optimized in terms of appearance and format.
Therefore, to obtain a properly optimized and formatted website, we recommend using the aforementioned Pagify application. In principle, we only have to load the corresponding website, and we must know that to use it we do not even need to register. But before that, the first thing we do here is go to the main menu of Google Docs once we have the document. Specifically, we place ourselves in the option called File / Publish on the web. Thus, in the window that appears on the screen, click on the Publish button.
At that moment, the search giant’s office program offers us a link that calls the document we have created, so we copy it to the Clipboard with Ctrl + C. Next, we access the Pagify web application where we paste that link copied before. Thus, the new web page will automatically be generated and updated in real time as we make changes to the linked Docs document.
To all this we must add that automatically here the webs that are generated will obtain the correct format. This is something that is extensible for both mobile devices and desktop computers.
In this way we will obtain a correctly formatted website that occupies the entire screen from a Google Docs document. We must bear in mind that the real-time update takes a while to carry out, so we must be patient.
