• single line spacing

• conciseness

Here my formatting suggestions for the first three levels of headings:

Style Font Size Typeface Spacing

above

Spacing

below

Chapter headings (level 1) Garamond 16pt Bold 1.2 cm 0.5 cm

Section headings (level 2) Garamond 13pt Bold 1 cm 0.4 cm

Subsection headings (level 3) Garamond 13pt Italic 0.8 cm 0.3 cm

Table 1: Styles for Headings (just a suggestion)

□ New Page for Each Chapter Heading?

If you want each chapter to begin on a new page, then right-click on any chapter heading and

choose Edit Paragraph Style; under the tab Text Flow check box Breaks › Insert

› Type › Page.

If you would like to avoid chapter headings near the bottom of the page, you can insert a

page break right before the heading using the shortcut Ctrl

Return to shift the heading

to the beginning of the following page.

Alternatively you could right click the paragraph immediately following the heading and

choose Paragraph

› Text Flow › Options › Do not split paragraph. The para-

graph in question will “pull” the heading immediately above it along to the next page should

there not be enough room for both on the present page. Note: you’ve changed the formatting

of this one paragraph here, not the overall Paragraph Style!

Using this method consistently spares you the necessity of a final check for any misplaced

headings.

□ Blank Lines?

When in a hurry it’s tempting to just add a couple of blank lines before a heading and another

blank line following it in order to influence spacing. But this destroys the “sticking” effect –

that is, the property of headings to always keep together with the next paragraph. Instead

change spacings within the paragraph styles pertaining to the various header levels using sugges-

tions listed in table 1.

□ How Many Levels?

I would recommend a maximum of two numbered heading levels:

1 Chapter

1.1 Section

1.2 Section

1.3 Section

2 Chapter

2.1 Section

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ... 48 49
