ALSF INSIGHTS — ARTICLE TEMPLATE (ENGLISH)
Fill in this template, then send it back as a .docx file. Do not change the structure.
• Keep the Word styles applied to section titles (Heading 2 / Heading 3). Do not retype them as plain bold text.
• Do not use Word's automatic outline numbering on titles. Type section numbers manually as plain text, exactly as shown below (e.g. "1. Introduction").
• For lists of clauses or points, use Word's built-in numbered/bulleted list button (Home tab). Never type "1.", "2.", "a." by hand.
• For any tabular data, use Insert > Table. Never paste a screenshot of a table, and never type columns separated by spaces or tabs.
• Do not paste or embed images, charts or screenshots in this document — see the instructions at the end.
