Manage Word documents such as reports, work summaries or project documents submitted by various departments of the enterprise. These documents are basically edited and written by different personnel. The title styles are varied. Some people use large fonts, others use bold fonts, or use different colors. The style of this title does not uniformly affect the appearance. Secondly, it will affect the professionalism of the documents and the subsequent processing efficiency. How should we set the title style in these documents? Several files are OK. It can be done in a few minutes to open and modify the title style directly. However, if there are hundreds or thousands of files, the time and energy consumed by us to open the operation one by one is unimaginable.
In fact, we can use Word's own functions and simple small tools to help us easily realize the unified title style in batches, so that all Word files can meet the specification requirements. We don't need to change them one by one. Let's try it with me!
When do you want to batch set the header style of the first line in a large number of Word files?
Document titles are not uniform
for the whole number of Word files, the first line of each file is the title, but the font size, font and bolding methods are different, because the files come from different places. Some people are used to manually increasing the font size as the title, while others are not used to using styles when typing directly. As a result, the titles are all inconsistent, so the first line needs to be uniformly set as the title style in batches.
Facilitate typesetting and directory generation
if the first line of Word is not correctly set as the title, the subsequent generation of directories, automatic numbering and unified styles will be affected, especially when files need to be summarized, merged or processed in batches, the nonstandard title will make the directories messy, and the page numbers and levels are not clear. After unification, the structure of all files can be consistent, which is convenient for subsequent operations.
Reduce repetitive human operations
when the number of files is small, setting titles one by one manually can be easily handled. However, when the number of files reaches dozens or even hundreds, repeated modification of titles wastes time and is easy to miss problems such as wrong files and styles. We can set the title style of the first line in batch to complete the normalization process at one time, so that all documents conform to the unified standard.
