Step 2: Apply the different heading and styles mention in the assignment

Step 3: Save the file in proper folder

Step 4: Take a print out of it

Step 5: Write a short summary or steps how you have done that or you can prepare a small chart on it in creative way which can be attached in your file

For Example: Heading 1 in Assignment 2 –> Think and Success like Kohli

Step 1: Type the text by keyboard — Think and Success like Kohli

Step 2: Click on Format –> Styles and Formatting

Step 3: Select Heading 1 from the dialog box and click on Fill Format Mode button.

Step 4: Now drag this fill format bucket over the text
