    @karineeid2074 Před 2 lety +1

    Thanks for the video! However, when I apply this the font automatically changes to calibri, even though I have a different font in the document before following the steps. Any recommendations for making the heading font standard?
    Is the page brake between chapters automatic? It does not happen in my document.

  • @sbandi9
