About This Feature
Overview
Chapter Title lets you assign heading levels from H1 to H6 to document paragraphs so your content has a clearer structure and can be recognized by the table of contents feature. After a heading level is applied, the paragraph is displayed with the matching heading style, which is useful for long documents, reports, proposals, and instructional content.
Core capabilities include:
- Set a heading level from the floating toolbar.
- Set a heading level from the top ribbon.
- Adjust a heading level from the paragraph handle.
- Insert a heading directly with slash commands.
