Note: The decision what is a heading and what it should look like are two separate decisions.

4 First Steps

When embarking on a new text you will invariably ask yourself: should I concentrate just on

the content and leave the formatting till later? Or should I try to format the text properly right

from the beginning?

The second approach is the right one. Using Styles is so easy there is really no reason why you

shouldn’t apply them right from the start. Here some of the advantages of this way of going

about things:

• save time

• using the Navigator (see section 9) you can jump to any chapter you wish to edit

without having to scroll up or down to it

• chapters and sections can – again using the Navigator – be reordered with just one

mouse click

• you’ll have a better idea of what the final result of your efforts is going to look like

5 Headings

As mentioned above you have to tell the programme what is a Heading and what is Text Body.

For that you use the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Ctrl

0 for Text Body (ground level)

• Ctrl

1 for Chapter Headings (level 1)

• Ctrl

2 for Section Headings (level 2)

• Ctrl

3 for Subsection Headings (level 3)

Note: It isn’t necessary to mark the whole paragraph beforehand – just place the cursor any-

where within the paragraph and apply the short cut.

For those of you who use Macs: it’s not the Ctrl Key but the Cmd Key instead. But I’ll

leave it up to you to figure out the variations. Linux machines use the same keyboard shortcuts

as Windows.

□ Making your Headings Look Nice

If you right click on, say, any Level 1 heading, a menu pops up. One of its options is Edit

Paragraph Style. Any changes made here will apply to all other Level 1 Headings. Same

goes of course for the other levels, indeed for any paragraph style.

Generally headings should meet following criteria:

• left alignment

• hyphenation turned off

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 48 49
