Most of my docs are written in Arial, but I often use Arial Black for headings as well as Times New Roman, and I would like to find a way to avoid having to go through the Font drop-down menu or using the Font pop-up menu. I also don't want to tie myself to a fixed Outline template/format.

Have already been trying to google this question, but no luck so far.

Thanks,
Eddie
I would strongly urge you to spend a bit of time learning Styles. You can modify the built-in ones and or create your own. Applying direct formatting (i.e. changing the Font in headings) can give you unwanted results in a Table of Contents.
