Formatting Your Text: Applying Approved Headings

Your Marketing team has created a number of pre-existing heading styles to help you quickly format your text and stay compliant with their branding guidelines. These can be found in the Format drop-down menu in the Toolbar or the Quick Access menu.

Attempting to apply certain styles or fonts may not display your expected results, as they may be overridden by these pre-formatted styles.

In the Toolbar or the Quick Access menu, select the Format button, You should see styles for Text (paragraph text) and Heading 1 to Heading 6.

Best Practices for Headings

• Use headings hierarchically by number (e.g., Heading 2 → Heading 3 → Heading 4), not by visual style. 

• Start each new section with a Heading 2, which should represent the main idea or topic of that section.

• Use Heading 3 for subpoints under a Heading 2, and Heading 4 for further detail beneath a Heading 3.

• Use headings for structuring content only—not to make text big or bold.

• Headings improve both SEO by helping search engines to better understand and index your page’s structure.

• Properly used headings also help to structure the contents of your web pages to help your users locate information more easily. 

Example 1: Categorical

Example 1 provides a basic structured outline of how Headings may be formatted.

Example 2: Prose

Example 2 illustrates how headings can work in a narrative format. 

• Heading 2:"Welcome to Veriday Wealth Management Group [...]" - Acts as our starting point—introducing our user to our page.
• Heading 3: "Achieve financial freedom [...]" - Relates to our Heading 2 by acting as a subtitle to our Heading 2. 
• Heading 4: Breaks into further details about the information presented in Heading 2 and Heading 3.
