The heading is on a separate line with a blank line after the heading and before the text. Paragraphs are numbered and have a one quarter inch indent after the number. In those cases where the number requires more than one quarter inch, the indent is expanded as needed. Paragraph numbers are bolded. The heading and numbering scheme is illustrated in this document.

- Second Level of Numbering - The second level of paragraph numbering is regular Arabic numerals, followed by a period, followed by another regular Arabic numeral, followed again by a period.
