google docs
How can I reach the full screen mode of Google Documents without clicking View->Full Screen?
Is there a different URL perhaps that I can use or any other methods to get Google Docs to show the document at full screen?
Here's what it looks like in normal edit mode and window:
In full screen view:
It's because when you're editing the document it has the print layout (they used to have an option to edit in a different view but not anymore) and when you are publishing it they are removing the page layout and showing only the contains as an html page.
If you want to preserve the page layout for the published document as well and make it look exactly the same as in edit mode, then you have two options. From the sharing options select one of the following:
and you will get in both cases a link that will look exactly the same. The only downside with these options is that everybody will be able to see who is currently viewing your document.
Here is a screenshot of these two options:
At this time Google documents do not have a way to hide content.
An alternative is to publish to the web the document before you start to work in the sections that want to hide.
Another alternative is create a copy of the document and remove the content to share, then share the copy instead of the original.

It is not possible to do this via changing a URL parameter. The only other option is pressing
F11to enter/exit full screen mode.Note: Although it doesn't appear to be exactly the same as clicking
View>Full Screen
