There is nothing magical about headings. They are just paragraphs that have been assigned to different outline levels. Thus, headings can also be formatted at will. Use the familiar format commands for this purpose.
Tip: Format all headings of an entire level (keyword "paragraph styles")
TextMaker formats headings automatically with specific paragraph styles: level one headings are always formatted with the paragraph style Heading 1, and level two headings with the style Heading 2, etc.
Thus, if you want to change the appearance of all headings at a specific level, all you have to do is edit the corresponding paragraph style. To do so, proceed as follows:
| 1. | Right-click to open the context menu and select Paragraph style. |
| Alternatively: Click on the Organize button in the sidebar. For more information, see Paragraph styles. |
| 2. | In the dialog box, select the appropriate style from the list. If, for example, you want to change all level one headings, select the style Heading 1. |
| 3. | Click on the Edit button. |
| 4. | The program displays a dialog box in which the desired paragraph formatting can be set. |
| Tip: If necessary, you can also change the character formatting by clicking on the Character button on the Paragraph tab. |
| 5. | Make the desired changes. |
| 7. | Exit the dialog box with Close. |
For more information on styles, see Styles.
Note: When you edit the structure of a document in outline view, TextMaker automatically applies the styles Heading 1...9. You should not attempt to change the names of these styles or to apply other styles to the headings. Any such attempts would work but not for long, because TextMaker would automatically reapply its styles when you subsequently changed the outline levels of paragraphs in the outline view.
