Answer Key

Styles in a word processor as structure and presentation

Section A: Quick Questions

B — Apply the Heading 1 style to the title

A — Modify the Heading 2 style once and choose dark blue

A — A style labels the structure (what the paragraph is) and also holds its formatting

B — The Navigation Pane will not list those headings

A — It is the default style for ordinary body paragraphs

Section B: Match the Pairs

Heading 1 → A paragraph style that labels a line as a main title or top-level heading, so the document knows it is a heading

Normal → The default paragraph style used for ordinary body text in a word processor document

Modify the Heading 1 style once (for example, change its colour) and every Heading 1 paragraph in the document updates → Modify Style: Heading 1 > Colour: Blue

The Navigation Pane builds a clickable outline of the document from paragraphs that use heading styles → View > Navigation Pane > Headings

Select the title, press Ctrl+B and set the size to 24 pt → Manual bold and a bigger size only change how the text looks. The word processor still sees a Normal paragraph, so it is not a real heading and will not appear in the Navigation Pane.

Change 12 headings one by one to a new font after the teacher asks for a different look → Formatting each heading by hand wastes time and risks missing some. Headings should use a style so one edit to the style updates them all.

Section C: Definitions

paragraph style — A named set of formatting, like Heading 1 or Normal, that labels what a paragraph is. Edit the style once and every paragraph using that style changes at once.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

Style for the main heading: Heading 1

Style for ordinary body text: Normal

Right-click Heading 1 > Modify > set font

View > Show > Navigation Pane

Instead of Ctrl+B, apply a Heading style

Section E: Spot the Error

A — The main title should use the top-level style, Heading 1. Heading 2 is for sub-sections like Bins, so the outline would be wrong. It should be [Heading 1] Recycling.

C — Cats is a section under the Heading 1 title, so it needs Heading 2. Jumping to Heading 3 skips a level and breaks the outline in the navigation pane. It should be [Heading 2] Cats.

B — The Normal style controls body paragraphs, not headings. To restyle every Heading 1 you must modify the Heading 1 style. It should be: Edit the Heading 1 style: blue.

D — The navigation pane only lists paragraphs with heading styles. Text that is just bold but still Normal is not listed. It should say Normal text is not listed.

B — Making text bold and bigger by hand only changes how it looks. The paragraph is still labelled Normal, so it is not a heading. It should use the style: [Heading 2] Fruit.
