into your footers is to use one of Word's default Headings - something like Heading 7 or Heading 8 or Heading 9, preferably one of those default Heading Styles that you or your firm rarely use.Įnter a title at the top of your section or page - for instance, SCHEDULE A - but using the Heading 7, 8 or 9 style for this.
