am using word 2000....

i have a document and i have highlighted the text that separates different
topics from each other. nothing fancy, just to get the user to know that he's
looking at a different section. i am reading this and that that says there's
a good way of doing this electronically, by offsetting the sections by
defining them to be headings by formatting them somehow. how would i do that.
and i also read that you can further use those headings to define a table of
contents. that would be neat if i could do that.

You set them off as headings by applying heading styles; see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...ingStyles.html. This
will make generating a TOC very simple; see
