1. Introduction

This document demonstrates how to create a structured report using headings, images, and tables. It also explains how to automatically generate a Table of Contents and lists of figures or tables.

Well-structured documents improve readability and allow automatic navigation.

2. Using Headings

Headings are essential for creating structure.

2.1 Heading Levels

Use built-in styles:

• Heading 1 → Main sections
• Heading 2 → Subsections
• Heading 3 → Details

2.2 Why Styles Matter

Automatic tools (like Table of Contents) rely on heading styles—not manual formatting.

3. Sample Image Section
