Stepping Through Head Formats

If you have a document that you want to format, you may not know exactly which type of heading you want to apply to your text. Word provides several different levels of headings, each defined by styles Heading 1 through Heading 9. You can quickly apply heading styles in your document by remembering a couple of helpful keystrokes:

1. Position the insertion pointer in the paragraph you want to format as a heading.
2. Press Shift+Alt+Left Arrow. The paragraph is formatted as Heading 1.
3. Press Shift+Alt+Right Arrow. The paragraph is formatted as Heading 2.
4. Continue pressing Shift+Alt+Right Arrow. The paragraph formatting steps through the rest of the headings, up through Heading 9.
