If you're having trouble moving to the third page in Google Docs, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
1. **Check Page Breaks**: Sometimes, there may not be enough content to push to a third page. Try inserting a page break manually:
- Place your cursor at the end of the content on the second page.
- Go to the menu and select **Insert > Break > Page break**. This should create a new blank page.
2. **Add More Content**: If your document is very short, you may need to add more text or images to push it onto a third page.
3. **Check Margins**: If your margins are set too wide, it may be squeezing your text onto fewer pages.
- Go to **File > Page setup** and check the margin settings. You can reduce the margins to see if it helps.
4. **Zoom Level**: Sometimes zooming in or out can give an illusion of not having enough pages.
- Adjust the zoom level in the toolbar or by going to **View > Zoom**.
5. **Clear Formatting**: If there’s a formatting issue, try clearing the formatting.
- Highlight the text, then go to **Format > Clear formatting**.
6. **Check for Hidden Content**: Make sure there isn't any hidden content or objects that could be affecting the layout.
- You can do this by clicking on **View > Show document outline** to see if there are any headings or content that might be causing the issue.
If none of these steps work, you might want to try refreshing the page or even restarting your browser, as this can sometimes resolve display issues. If the problem persists, consider checking for updates or using a different browser.
