First, select which headers these customizations apply to by choosing from the drop-down list at the top of the dialog. Then select the formatting from the format bar at the top or the various properties listed in the **Property** window to the right. The preview pane on the left displays how those customizations appear. When done, click **Apply** or **OK**.
