Writing Advice from Microsoft
Jul. 18th, 2004 03:59 pm
I want to put chapter headings in my novel. Here is how Microsoft says to do it:
1, Insert the chapter number and title in a header or footer
A document must first be divided into sections in order to insert chapter numbers and titles into headers and footers.
2. If you haven't done so already, insert a section break where you want to start a new section that contains a different chapter.
How?
3. Click where you want to insert a section break.
On the Insert menu, click Break.
Under Section break types, click the option that describes where you want the new section to begin.
4. Apply a built-in heading style to the chapter number and chapter title by clicking a heading style in the Style box on the Formatting toolbar.
Or to have Microsoft Word automatically number headings, use the Bullets and Numbering dialog box to format chapter headings.
How?
a On the Format menu, click Bullets and Numbering, and then click the Outline Numbered tab.
b Click a chapter-numbering style (one that includes the text "Heading 1" or "Heading 2," and so on), and then click OK.
c Type the text you want for the numbered heading, and then press ENTER.
d To add the next numbered heading, click the arrow next to the Style box and select the style you want.
5 On the View menu, click Header and Footer.
If necessary, move the insertion point to the header or footer you want to change.
6 On the Header and Footer toolbar, click Same as Previous to break the connection between the header and footer in the current section and the previous section.
7 On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
In the Reference type box, click Heading.
8 In the For which heading box, click the heading that contains the chapter number and title.
9 In the Insert reference to box, select what you want to insert in the header or footer. For example,
10 Click Heading number to insert the chapter number, and then click Insert.
11 Click Heading text to insert the chapter heading, and then click Insert.
12 Click Close.
For each chapter in the document, repeat steps 1 through 12.
If there's already text in the header or footer that you don't want, delete the text before inserting the chapter number and title.
I think I'll just type "3" in the heading, by hand, and call it good.
