Use headings

Headings are important because they clearly set out the document's structure and ensure that tables of contents function properly.

You can use the Word preset headings that you'll find in the top menu under ‘Styles'. There you'll find Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on.

Use headings in copy

To turn a line of copy into a heading, simply highlight it and click the heading you want it to be in the ‘Styles' menu.

Headings should follow a structure:

• H1 is a title
• H2 is a subsection under H1
• H3 is a subsection under H2
