Headings and Outline View

L

LaNell

I went through my document setting the headings to Heading 1,2, or 3. My
Level 3 Headings do not show up as such. In outline View they are Body Text.
Word is associating my Heading (G1.) with the text that follows it (G1.
This is a paragraph...). Because I only selected the G1. to be Heading 3 it
does not work. the only way I can get G1. to be Heading 3 is to make the
whole paragraph that follows it also Heading 3 or to move the paragraph to
the next line and not have on the same line as G1. Well, I want to have my
cake and eat it too! I need the paragraph to be on the same line as G1. but
not be considered part of a Heading. How oh how do I do this?

Now, if I have to, I can let Word consider the whole paragraph as part of
Heading 3 because I do not think it will affect the look or links (that I
will be adding next). But when I set it up this way my indents get messed up.
I had the entire paragraph's left margin lined up under the first word of the
paragraph. Word makes it all line up under G1. when I set it to Heading 3. Is
there an easy way to change all the indents back to the way I want them
without doing each one seperately? Please say there is a way!

you need a style separator between the heading paragraph and the
bodytext paragraph. This feature is available form Word 2002 upwards:

If you're using Word 2000 or earlier, you can get there manually by
formatting the paragraph mark of the heading 3 paragraph as "hidden"
(Format | Font).
