If memory serves, you can do this by changing the outline level to level 1 in the preferences for the style. I believe these map out to heading levels during PDF export, but I haven't done this in a while. </div><div><br></div><div>Alex<br><br><div>Sent from my iPhone</div></div><div><br>On Feb 13, 2017, at 4:12 PM, Karlen Communications <<a href="mailto:info@karlencommunications.com">info@karlencommunications.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--
