I read that there is some disagreement about the significance of using h1 tags. However, if I want to use it; will it be effective if I create the headline in BV and just enclose the created text code within the (h1) tags?
OR
Is there a way to insert the (h1) tags around the title you want the SE to see, but not display it to the site visitor?

I want the text to have the font style, size, and color of my choosing. I don't know if all that can be defined inside the (h1) tags.

You can define it all - but NEVER EVER try to put something into the page for the se's only and not viewable to your visitor - that could lead to your site being banned by the se's.

There are various ways to put the h1 tag in - easiest:
Type your headline in a text box. Select the color, size font, etc.
Now double click and open the text box properties.
Click on html
Before tag put <h1>
After tag put </h1>

There you go.

The other option is to put your h1 tag inside an html box - and you'd write it like this (with your own choices):
<center><h1><font style="tahoma" size="4" color="#CC3399">Your Headline Here</font>
</h1></center>
