Google Docs – Automatically Scroll to Bottom When Opened

google docsgoogle-apps-script

I'm looking for a way to automatically scroll to the bottom of a Google doc every time I open it. Something functionally equivalent to this answer would be great.

Best Answer

From my answer to Move to last line of Google Document when it is opened

Try this

function onOpen(){
  var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
  var body = doc.getBody();
  var numChildren = body.getNumChildren();
  var pos = doc.newPosition(body.getChild(numChildren - 1),0);
  doc.setCursor(pos);
}

Google Docs doesn't have invisible placeholders at this time, but it has bookmarks. From the second reference:

// Insert a bookmark at the cursor position and log its ID.
 var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
 var cursor = doc.getCursor();
 var bookmark = doc.addBookmark(cursor);
 Logger.log(bookmark.getId());
