  2. Review and fix headings.

  3. Don't forget Step 2.

Tips

  • Only run Make headings Sentence case when the headings are all-caps.

  • Run it as a first step, then check individual headings and re-capitalise proper nouns and acronyms.

  • Never run it as a last step.

  • Quick-edit sections that need words re-capitalised by clicking the pencil next to the heading.

For more guidance on sentence case, see the Laws.Africa style guide.
