Word - Triage 4 Headings are the answer, whatever the question! Word has built-in heading styles called Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. Some people try the heading styles, don't like them, and either change them with local overrides or create their own by using the Normal style with local overrides. We already know that this kind of a "fix" is bad because it is difficult to edit and impossible to re-use. But the reasons, the really powerful reasons, for using the built-in headings are still not widely appreciated — automatic TOCs, and Outline View. To create a TOC in a doc with proper headings, you select menu: Insert > Index and Tables > Table of Contents, and click. Bang! To create a TOC in a doc without proper headings, you jump through dozens of copy-paste-reformat hoops, type in the page numbers manually, pray that no one will ever add or delete anything to the doc, and still have an inferior product. To use Outline View in a doc with proper headings, select menu: View > Outline, then click a number for how many levels you want to see. You can shuffle and rearrange whole sections, promote and demote heading levels, to your heart's content, and Word will cheerfully handle all the section and heading and page renumbering for you -- automatically. Try that kind restructuring with a poorly-formed document with manually numbered headings, and you'll become an instant convert to the Way of Proper Headings.
