      ON TABLE SUBHEAD
      "A 200-word essay is a short piece. It might be assigned by a school teacher to test the student’s knowledge of the topic and their ability to formulate thoughts concisely. The most common genres for texts of 200 to 250 words are a discussion board post and a personal statement for a college application."
      ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
      ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
      ON TABLE NOTOTAL
      ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
      ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
      ON TABLE SET STYLE *
           INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
