Formatting headingsApply Heading styles within your essay for consistent formatting and to use the Navigation pane.  Click on a heading in your essay. You don’t need to select the text, as long as your cursor is flashing within the paragraph. Think of Heading styles in a hierarchy from 1 to 9 – you are unlikely to ever use them all! Heading 1 For the most important headings in your essay. Heading 2 Optional, for any subheadings in your essay. Heading 3 Optional, for any sub-subheadings in your essay. Click the Home tab, then click the style you want to apply eg Heading 1. 
Repeat this process for any other headings in your essay. Tip – If you apply a style by mistake, just click to apply a different style, eg Normal.  To change the default formatting of a heading, right-click on its style in the Styles gallery and click Modify… Make your formatting changes, eg font colour. Tip – Once you have applied Heading styles, click View, then tick Navigation Pane. You can then use the Navigation pane (left of window) to go directly to a specific heading within your essay. |
