Academic documents such as thesis, dissertation, research reports, research proposal, etc. are organised into chapters, sub-chapters, and sub sub-chapters. The best way to create names of chapters, sub chapters and sub sub-chapters for your documents is to use Heading styles provided by Microsoft Word. In Microsoft Word 2007, you can see Heading style as well as other styles under Home menu and Style ribbon. By clicking the small arrow on the bottom right corner of the Style ribbon, you will have the Style panel ropped down.
When you open a new document and type text into it, the text will have a normal style. It means that the text will have an apperance according to the style and formatting set to the normal style. When you bring your cursor to the text and then click Heading 1 in Style panel, the text now will have a style and formatting associated with Heading 1. To change the appearance of that text, it is recommended to do it by changing the attributes of the Style being used for that text. You do it from the Style panel. It is not recommended to change appearance of a text directly on text area of the document since it will only affect that particular text. Changing the appearance of texts by modifying styles associated with them will affect all the texts with that style throughout your document.
