About This Feature

Overview

Chapter Title helps you assign clear heading levels to text paragraphs in a document, from Heading 1 (H1) to Heading 6 (H6). After a heading style is applied, it can be recognized by the table of contents feature, which helps organize long documents, reports, proposals, and reference materials.

Core tasks include:

Apply a heading level from the floating toolbar.
Apply a heading style from the top ribbon.
Change a paragraph to a heading level from the paragraph handle.
Insert a heading line with slash commands.

This feature is useful when you need to organize document structure, prepare a table of contents, keep heading levels consistent, and improve navigation in long-form writing.

Capability Summary	Supports assigning Heading 1 to Heading 6 to text paragraphs and lets table of contents features recognize those heading levels.	Word builds a table of contents from document headings, and missing entries can be fixed by applying styles such as Heading 1.	Google Docs supports Title, Subtitle, and Heading 1-6, and can insert or refresh a table of contents based on headings.	Notion supports Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3, and can summarize page headings with a table of contents block.	Acrobat table-of-contents workflows for PDFs commonly involve converting the PDF to Word, using heading levels there, and saving back to PDF.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS supports H1-H6 in the same editing flow and connects heading levels directly with table-of-contents recognition for long documents.	Compared with WPS: Word also supports heading styles and automatic tables of contents, but the entry points and interface labels differ.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports heading levels 1-6 and table-of-contents refresh in a browser-based document workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on H1-H3 page structure, so its heading depth is lighter than WPS for multi-level document outlines.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF workflows, and table-of-contents creation often depends on conversion to a word-processing flow first.

Overall Conclusion
