Notes and hints...Notes and hints...• To get "headings," use the style drop-
down menu. This is the first dropdown menu in your toolbar.
• Use "bold" and "italics," but stay away from underlining text. This makes the text look like it's a link, which is confusing to users.
• To get sub-bullets, click the "indent" toolbar button twice.
