![]() If you don’t adjust the line spacing, and instead use two paragraph breaks you will end up with very large gaps between every paragraph. They can import strangely in AO3, however, with inconsistent results depending on how they are used. Line breaks are useful for poetry and song lyrics, where you don’t want space between your paragraphs. A line break happens when you hold down the shift key while you hit “Enter” instead of just hitting “Enter”. It will also make it obvious when you use a line break instead of a paragraph break. This will allow you to type with a visual break between paragraphs (much easier to read on screen) without hitting a double paragraph break. Go to “Line Spacing” which may be under the “More” button, and pick “Add Space after paragraph.”.Put in a few paragraph breaks when you start your document, then hit CTRL-A to select all text in your document.Heading 3 is similar to the chapter headlines and will make your story look mostly seamless in "entire work" view. Handy trick: If you are doing a prologue, use Heading 3 for the Prologue and Chapter 1 and put them both in the same "Chapter 1" in Ao3. This isn't ideal for AO3 though. Chapter 2 explains how to get all the styles you need for AO3 in every doc. Note that if you use “Heading 2” for chapters and “Heading 3 for subheads, you’ll get a more sophisticated outline while you're writing. You can use multiple styles if you want to do an actual document outline that is more complex than chapter titles. Highlight a bolded section heading, and go to “normal text” and pull it down and highlight “Header 3” and pick “Update header to match” so that you don’t change your section header/chapter title appearance, and then highlight everything you want to appear in the outline and pick “Header 3”. ![]() If this does not work, because your sections are short, and Google Docs decides it’s not a worthy entry, you can use styles to make it happen. This is handy for longer documents where you are writing multiple chapters in one document, or in tutorials such as this one where you want people in Google Docs to be able to skip to a relevant section quickly. Bolding a section heading will create outline entries along the side once you turn on Document Outline (tools menu).To use this most efficiently, open up a Google Doc and paste over a few lines of text, and then start experimenting as you read down.
