3. Type the title of your heading (e.g., “Table of Authorities”). The headings in the
examples throughout this document reflect generally accepted heading typeface and
numbering schemes. For heading typeface, the headings for the major components of
your document should be bold and all-caps; the primary point headings should be bold;
and all other point headings should be in ordinary typeface. For heading numbering, the
major components of your document should be un-numbered; the primary point headings
should use uppercase Roman numerals (I, II, III, etc.); secondary point headings should
use uppercase letters (A, B, C, etc.); tertiary point headings should use ordinary numerals
(1, 2, 3, etc.); quaternary point headings should use lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.). But, as
always, be sure to check your professor’s policies, supervising attorney’s preferences,
applicable court rules, etc., to see if you should use a different typeface or numbering
scheme. Also, note that if you want the text of the heading to be in all caps, do not push
the “caps lock” key. Instead, type the title of your heading, highlight the heading, right-
click on the highlighted text, and click “Font.” Then, check the box that says “All caps”
in the pop-up window. Click “OK” when done.
4. Click enter and then click the “Normal” box in the “Styles” section of the home ribbon.
Now highlight the text of your heading, and the line directly below it.
