Replace header name above, then begin creating your text in place of this text. To make subheads to this heading, use the Heading level 3 style from the drop down. To make another heading at this level, use Heading level 2. The headings below are used on many pages so we’ve created them for you. If one or more doesn’t apply to your page, you can delete them. Make your headings “sentence” case (initial capital followed by all lowercase except proper names or abbreviations normally rendered in uppercase, such as MWD or EOR).
