As in this heading, these headings should be Times New Roman 12-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.
B. Third-order headings: Third-order headings, as in this paragraph, are discouraged. However, if you must use them, use 12-point Times New Roman, boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a colon and your text on the same line.
