Headings

To ensure that the headings match the required format, I recommend creating custom headings styles with the appropriate parameters before starting work. The tool for creating heading styles is located in the HOME menu. In MHG written work, headings should be formatted as follows:

• HEADING 1 – font size 14, all caps, bold
• Heading 2 – font size 12, sentence case, bold
• Heading 3 – font size 12, sentence case, in bold

Pre-setting the heading style

• Write the title and format it as required (see above).
• Highlight the title
• Right-click on the appropriate Heading type in the top menu bar (Heading 1, Heading 2 or Heading 3).
• Select Update Heading to match the selection.

The system converts the appropriate heading style into a template; all you have to do is select the heading style you want for the whole document. Correct formatting of headings is necessary for creating an automatic table of contents! So, just changing the font size is not enough.
