Ampler applies and cycles company header styles across a workbook, so headers share one consistent look at every level.
Quick answer: Select the header cells and click Cycle header style (Ctrl+Shift+H) on the Ampler ribbon; click again to cycle to the next header level.
How to use it
Select the header cells, then cycle the header style.
- Select the header cells you wish to format.
- Click Cycle header style (Ctrl+Shift+H), and click again to cycle to the next header style.
The formats it cycles through are the ones defined under Settings → Cycles, so you can set them to your company standards.
Keyboard shortcut
Cycle header style is Ctrl+Shift+H by default; reassign it in the Ampler Settings → Shortcuts.
Why use it
Formatting headers by hand on every sheet is slow and drifts out of consistency. Ampler applies the company header style and cycles through as many levels as you define, so headers look the same across every workbook.
How consultants use it
A consistent header hierarchy is part of a professional, navigable model. Three habits apply:
- Consistent header look: headers share one company style across workbooks
- Defined levels: as many header levels as needed, each on standard
- Fast to apply: one shortcut styles a header, cycling the levels
Header styles keep a model’s headings consistent and on-brand.
Tips & best practices
- Use Ctrl+Shift+H to style headers as you build.
- Cycle to the right header level.
- Define header styles under Settings → Cycles.
