Critical Note
Where to start?
Because we edit webpages in WordPress we structure our headings down one level. This means when you begin working in a word document you begin with H2. Your top-level heading is H2 because the page title in WordPress is the H1. To reiterate when working in the document (and a WordPress page) we begin with H2 at the top of the page. The page title is the H1 in WordPress.
Use Headings in Word
You don’t have to add headings in WordPress. You can incorporate headings into your source document. Using our organization’s software, Word, please see the following instructions. It is a good idea to use headings in your workflow regardless.
