Google Drive – Apply Custom Heading Styles

How do I apply newly changed heading styles to selected (or at least one at a time) existing documents?

Best Answer

There is no way to automatically apply all of your newly-set default styles to your doc. What you would need to do is:

  • Open the document
  • Go into the styles menu in the toolbar (default text is "Normal Text")
  • Open the options menu and select "Use my default styles"

This will apply all of your current default styles to the menu only. From there you will still need to click into each piece of header text you'd like to change and apply the formatting manually (e.g. using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + 3 to apply Heading 3)
