Heading 2 and 3 missing in Word 2013

Click on the dialog launcher at the right hand end of the Styles bar on the home tab and you should then see  the Heading Styles Heading 1 thru Heading 9.  If you want to add styles to the Gallery, left click on the style in the Styles pane and then click on "Add to Quick Style Gallery"

 

Another, often preferred, method of accessing styles is to press Ctrl+Shift+s to display the Apply Styles dialog.

 

See the article "How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document" on the following page of the Late Shauna Kelly's website:

In Word 2013, all the built-in heading styles have a Recommend level of 10 and are set to be displayed in the Styles gallery, but all the heading levels below Heading 1 are also set to "Hide Until Used."

 

 

In addition, the option to "Show next heading when previous level is used" is enabled by default.

 

 

So when you have applied Heading 1 to a paragraph, Heading 2 becomes available. Use Heading 2, and Heading 3 will be displayed, and so on. Is that not working for you?

Doug and Suzanne-
Thank you for the replies.  Neither option worked exactly, but from what you both wrote I was able to get it to work.  I'll include what I did in case it helps someone else out.
I went to Home tab, then at the bottom right corner of the Styles section, clicked the little diagonal arrow.  This brought up the "Styles" box (or by Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S).  [I previously had no luck with the "Apply Styles" box-- Ctrl + Shift+ S].
Then at the bottom of this box I clicked "Options..." and this led to the Style Pane Options.  At the top, "Select Styles To Show:" I clicked the drop down and changed it to "Show all Styles"
I went into my document and highlighted a title and then from the "Styles" box (where ALL of the styles are now listed) I selected Heading 2.  This then put that Heading into the title in my document and and also put it into the Styles shortcut area on the Home tab.  Did the same for Heading 3.

Doug- It wasn't until afterward that I realized that I could get to the Styles Box from the Apply Styles box.  That would have worked too.

Suzanne-
Thank you.  The option to "Show next heading when previous level is used" was NOT enabled by default on my computer.  Don't know why, but does explain why Heading 2 didn't come up after I'd used Heading 1.

Thank you!

Looks like you found part of what I was about to suggest.

In the Style Pane Options dialog:

I prefer to sort the list "Alphabetical". I tried figuring out the various 'Recommendations" they defined, and even defining my own, but I found it simplest to work in alpha order. That, and manually selecting styles to display in the Home tab > Styles group > Styles pane.

I also prefer to use the "In USE" style to show option. That or the "All Styles" option you used, to start with.

AT the bottom of the dialog, click on the "New documents based on this template" radio button so that these selections are saved to your NORMAL.DOTM and are used in new documents.

Finally, in documents that I do a lot of copy and paste into, I periodically root through the styles pane and delete styles that are not in use. And change imported "orphan" styles into my standard ones before deleting them as unused.  Actually, there are macros that can automate the deletion of unused styles.

PS: in case you don't know how to reach the "Manage Styles" dialog, there is a button at the bottom of the Styles pane.
