Styles are hugely important in Microsoft Word. Styles allow for consistency in formatting, ease in changing the look and feel of your document and access to naviagation and reference tools.
To help make formatting simple, there are many levels of Heading styles you can use to make your document look better and, at the same time, take advantage of the many other benefits of styles. To quickly apply heading styles to text in a Word document you can use the Styles gallery in your Home tab or simply click Ctrl+Alt+1 for the Heading 1 style, Ctrl+Alt+2 for Heading 2 and Ctrl+Alt+3 for Heading 3.
