Word - Title Page Most documents, at least the reports and bookish ones, need a title page. Certain kinds of documents (operator manuals, service manuals, software design descriptions) have specific requirements for titles, subtitles, direction numbers, revision numbers, and so on. For those documents, you have to use what you're given. For your own almost-standard documents, keep it simple, as we show below. This evolving sample document is available at wdsample01.doc if you'd like to save some typing but still need something to play around with. The hypothetical document we are working on starts with the first heading right at the top. Switch to Normal View, place the cursor at the front of the first line, and hit Enter a couple of times. With Formatting Marks turned on, you'll see that you've created a few extra blank Heading 1 paragraphs. Since these would appear in your automatically-generated TOC as blank entries, convert them to Body Text. If you try to click-drag mouse to select new markers, go to Style Box, and select Body Text, there may be a problem — no Body Text in the Style box. A new document has only Default Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, and Normal in the style box. Once you use some other styles, those styles will be added to the list in the box. So click-drag mouse to select new markers, go to menu: Format > Style...., scroll to the top of the Styles list, select Body Text, and click Apply. Body Text gets added to the Styles box in the toolbar. Click in front of the second-from-bottom empty paragraph marker, and type a title — don't press Enter. With the cursor still on the title paragraph apply the Title style to the paragraph — go to menu: Format > Style...., scroll down and select Title in the styles list, and click Apply. Press Enter to create a new paragraph. This one will also be styled Title (most likely). Change the style to Subtitle, and add a few words of description. That's all we need, for now. We'll postpone any prettification until we have more meat on the bones. Next step - break the doc into three sections, and add a TOC.
