Use This Chrome Extension By Google To Link To Text on Any Website

How many times have you had to send a webpage link to someone and then provide complete instruction on exactly where the information is located that you want them to see? Quite often, I am sure. Well, Google has introduced a new Chrome extension that lets you link directly to a specific text section of a webpage. If you want the ability to link to text in your Chrome browser, then keep reading and I’ll show you how it works.

Introducing Link to Text Fragment

Link to Text Fragment is the name of the Chrome extension that you can download for free. The extension works on the same principle as Google’s search results function that directly links to specific text on a webpage. It adds the first and last six words of the selected text at the end of the URL that point to the text on the webpage.

Currently, the extension works fine on the latest versions of chrome from Chrome 80 and above. It also works on chromium-based browsers such as Opera and Microsoft Edge. However, Firefox and Safari still don’t support this feature. So make sure the person you are sharing the link with opens it in any of the latest chromium browsers.

How to use Link to Text Fragment 

Now that you know what the extension does, let’s see how you can use this extension. The extension works from the context menu, the extension button serves no purpose. Go to any webpage and highlight the required text using the left mouse click. Now right-click on the highlighted text and select the “Copy Link to Select Text” option. If the link is successfully generated, the text will turn yellow.

Now when the other person will open the link in the browser, the page will immediately move to the selected text section and it will be highlighted in yellow color. Clicking on the yellow highlight will remove it. For example, you can click on this link and it will directly lead you to the first heading of the article.

Ending thoughts

I am sure you will find this extension very useful. I am using it for the last three days and it seems to work consistently in most cases. Although I did have trouble generating the link on a page with gifs in between the text. It’s especially useful for linking comments in a forum when the forum doesn’t have that functionality built-in. Let us know in the comments if you found this extension useful.

How To Change Google Docs Background Color

By default, Google Docs has the standard white background with black text to make it easier to read. However, if you need to type with a text color that doesn’t go well on white —such as yellow— or maybe you need to print out the document with a different background color, then you must change the background color in Google Docs.

Although it’s really easy to change text color from the top menu bar, but the option to change background color isn’t available upfront. If you are looking to change background color in Google Docs, then keep reading and I’ll show you how to do it.

Change Background Color in Google Docs

Before we learn how to change the background color, I should mention that the background color changes apply to each page of the Google Docs document. You can not apply separate colors to different pages. That said, let’s see how to change background color in Google Docs:

Open up a Google Docs document and click on the “File” menu at the top-left corner.

At the bottom of the menu, click on “Page setup”.

Here click on the button under the “Page color” option and you will see a big list of colors from dark to light to choose from.

You can also click on the “Custom” button at the bottom to open the color wheel where you can select a custom color yourself or use the Hex color code to get the needed color.

Once the right color is selected, click on the “OK” button and the color will be immediately applied to the document.

This will only change the background color of the current document. If you want to change the background color of all the future documents, then click on the “Set as default” button before clicking the “OK” button to apply changes.

Wrapping up

I am sure you will find this feature of Google Docs very useful if you must submit documents with a different page color. And even if you just want your document to look funky, changing background color can have a huge impact. Do let us know in the comments how this feature benefited you.
