Default Another dumb question - heading levels

I'm formatting a document (a new copy of an older document that I
wrote, I think) in Word 2000. Now in Word 2007, I cannot seem to find
any heading levels except for Heading 1. What do I have to do to get
the predefined heading levels back?

Default Another dumb question - heading levels

You should be seeing at least Heading 2 in the Quick Styles gallery. The way
the headings are set up in Word 2007, only one level below the one in use is
shown in the Styles task pane, so if you have a Heading 1, you should see
Heading 2. If you apply Heading 2, then Heading 3 should appear.

If this is not the case, you should be able to apply the headings anyway by
promoting a Normal or Body Text paragraph using Alt+Shift+Left Arrow. If
this gives you Heading 1, then try Alt+Shift+Right Arrow to see if that
gives you Heading 2.

Wow, OK, thanks. That's clever stuff. I must have not had a Heading 1
and so it would not show me Heading 2 I guess.

Default Another dumb question - heading levels

This is a little confusing to me. I reopened the original document
(created in Word 2000, I think). It had a Heading 1, but no Heafding2
was showing in the Style ribbon. (excuse me if my terminology is
incorrect). I then looked and if I opened the Styles selection drop-
down, this document was not associated with any of the particular
styles.

Whenever I chose a particular Style, all the formatting of the
document would change, including the font and the layout.

Since I am mostly happy with the document and simply want to add some
pictures to the document, I'd like to be able to create Heading 2
levels without resorting to chaning the entire style, but I cannot
insert a Heading 2, since it is not offered unless I change to a
different Style.

Am I stymied?

Thanks,

I believe you're confusing styles and style sets or themes or templates (or
something). If you don't see the style you want in the Styles pane, you can
change what the pane displays. Click Options... in the bottom right corner
and select something other than Recommended (try the various options till
you find the one that works for you). Alternatively, click the Manage Styles
button (lower left), find the Heading 2 style in the list on the Recommend
tab, and click Show.

Yes, it seems terminology is getting in the way. It might be simpler
to bite the bullet and reformat the entire document in a different
style that fits in with Word 2007.

As an esteemed friend said a long time back - Real writers write
around the problem.. I'll interpret that to mean I have to format
around the problem (or somesuch). Thanks for your help, it is
appreciated.

Well, it doesn't help that I haven't much of a clue about style sets in Word
2007, which I have actually used very little (and mostly with older
templates that use my Word 2003 styles).
