PURPOSE Consistent headings make documents easier to scan, search, and convert into accessible formats. STEPS Use built-in heading styles, apply heading levels in order, and avoid skipping from Heading 1 to Heading 4 without structure. GOOD HEADINGS Use short, descriptive phrases that tell readers what the section contains. AVOID Avoid manually formatting headings with random font sizes, colors, or spacing. CHECK Use the navigation pane or document outline to confirm headings are organized logically.
