  • Indented Top Border

    The section headings in Barron’s Business Law have a top border that is indented while the text of the heading is not. How did they do this?

    You can recreate this formatting in Google Docs or Microsoft word by:

    • adding a bottom border to the paragraph above
    • adding an indent to the paragraph above
    • using the Add Spacing Before Paragraph feature

    Below is a diagram of the final text:

    1. Insert a blank line before the heading.
    2. Add a 3pt bottom border.
    3. Indent this blank paragraph to 1 centimeter (.4 inches).
