Legal Reply Brief Formatting

I have a reply brief drafted in Microsoft Word that must meet strict court-filing standards and look polished to the eye. The text is complete; what I need now is meticulous document formatting.

Your role is to tidy up margins and line spacing so they conform to the jurisdiction’s page-limit rules, apply a clear heading hierarchy for every argument and sub-argument, and build an automated table of contents that updates correctly as the brief evolves. All work should be done natively in Word—no PDF fixes—so that I can continue editing before final filing.

Please be comfortable using Word’s Styles pane, section breaks, and TOC fields. Deliver the formatted .docx file back to me, ready for last-minute text tweaks without losing the structure you put in place.
