7 Powers of HEADINGs

Headings in MS word are hierarchies of a document. Simply, you can assign Heading 1 for Chapter, Heading 2 for sub-chapter, Heading3 for sub-sub-chapter etc. MS Word provides built-in styles and standard headings, namely Heading 1, Heading 2, until Heading 9.

There are a lot of advantages of headings:

1. Easily creating a hierarchic numbering system. In Gaya UKM, you have to make multilevel numbering with chapter number (see: Numbering systems in UKM Style). Using headings (and multilevel list), it can be easily done.
2. Applying the heading styles for each title of chapter/sub-chapter/sub-sub-chapter. It saves your time and makes consistent formats in your document. See: Make your thesis style using STYLES
3. Creating a table of contents at a glance. This is one of the important advantages of headings since manual creation of table of contents really costs time, energy and often results mistakes in page numbers. By applying headings, a table of contents can be created and updated in one click procedure so that it is very helpful when you create and edit your doc.
4. Creating captions with chapter number. (but it can't be applied in UKM style due to its limitations)
5. Referring to a chapter/sub-chapter number. For example in the chapter 4 you need to refer 3.2 section, it can be done if you apply headings. It also provides hyperlink for the referred section.
6. Producing a document map only can be done if you develop your doc using headings.
7. Creating bookmarks in PDF file
