Text Formatting

HI everyone.

I am writing a report but I want all text to be helvetica font.

Using the \usepackage{helvet} command I can change all text to helvitica font but this doesn't change the section headings as well. I have got around this by using \sffamily for each heading but there must be a better way!

Does anyone know how to change all of the test to the required font?

thanks.

A very simple solution is given with the sectsty package. More advanced formatting is possible with the titlesec package.

Best regards
