Subject:Re: What is "run-in" style From:Sally Derrick <sjd1201 -at- gmail -dot- com> To:dvora -at- tech-challenged -dot- com Date:Fri, 7 Jan 2011 07:31:10 -0600
I've worked with run-in headings before.
*Run-In Headings:* A run-in heading is generally a lower level heading,
maybe a level three or four. It is placed inline with the following
paragraph. not so easy to do in most of our tools.
I'm guessing that your instructions are asking that you to simply use a
single column layout with all paras running the width of the page. Just a
guess though.
