You are editing a 50-page thesis. The heading font size changes automatically wherever you modify one heading. You want only the selected heading to change, not all similar headings. What should you do?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., Apply Direct Formatting.
In word processors like MS Word:
- Styles apply formatting globally. So changing a style affects all headings using that style.
- Theme changes document-wide design (fonts, colors, effects).
- Format Painter copies formatting from one text to another, but it still depends on styles/format consistency.
- Direct Formatting applies changes only to the selected text, without affecting other similar text.
So if you want only one heading to change, you must use Direct Formatting (e.g., manually changing font size).
