Creating Section Headings

In Cosmo Create and in most HTML viewers, each heading level is visually distinct. For example, a Heading 1 paragraph might be displayed in 14-point Helvetica bold, while a Heading 2 paragraph might be displayed in 12-point Helvetica bold and be indented one inch. When authoring a long document, it's often useful to first create an outline that consists of headings of varying levels.

To designate a paragraph as a heading, follow these steps:

  1. Click to place the insertion cursor within the paragraph.

  2. Open the Format menu and choose an item from the Paragraph rollover menu or choose Palettes > Paragraph Styles to bring up the paragraph styles palette, then click the button that corresponds with the paragraph style you want.

    The name of the heading level that you applied appears in the Cosmo Create status region and the font style and/or formatting of the paragraph changes.

  3. Press Enter to start a new paragraph.

    By default the new paragraph is a body text paragraph.
