Hi all,

I am in need of information on how to create a shaded separator. What I mean by this is, I have headings in my book I am writing. Heading 1 and Heading 2, etc. Heading 1 indicates a new section of the chapter, where as Heading 2 is a "topic". I am distinguishing these by color (and eventually section numbers). But I really would like to have Heading 1 shaded the whole way across the document. Like a solid bar, to really establish a distinguished seperation from headings and topics.



Is there any way I can modify the heading format to do this? I have included a photoshopped word page to explain what I am trying to do. Another thing I need is precise control on color - that would be great, as my document follows a specific color scheme.

Thank you all!

This is simple to achieve. Modify the Heading 1 style to include paragraph shading - From the modify style dialog > Format > Border > Select the Shading tab. Click the 'Fill' dropdown > More Colors > and enter Custom RGB 164, 190, 184. Apply to Paragraph

I am not sure what the font is, but set its custom color to RGB 51, 153, 150, which will give the results in your picture.

Investigate ColorCop to grab colours froim documents.
