Create Headings

To create a new chapter or division of your paper you simply need to give a heading to the section. It can be as simple as one word, such as "Introduction."

To insert a heading, go to the menu at the top left of your screen. From the drop down menu, select HEADING 1. Type the title or heading, and hit RETURN.

Remember, you can do this as you write your paper or after your paper is completed. If your paper is already written, you simply place your cursor in the desired spot and place your heading.

Note: if you want each section or chapter to start on a new page, go to the end of a chapter/section and go to Insert and select Break and Page Break.
