USING STLYES IN DOCS for formatting

Working with Styles

Open the sample doc.

Use Styles to Format the list.

Use Title for the top line, Heading 1 for the event name and Heading 2 for the date. Once you've done this, modify the font, spacing and colour of each Style, then update the style so it reflects on the whole document.

Turn on Document Outline in tools- so you can easily navigate through your doc.

You can use these to create a table of contents.
