The first sentence of a letter says: "As requested, we have enclosed a detailed invoice for your last order, made January 20, 2023, Order Number 37223, for various hardware items." Create a subject line for this letter, then review my answer explanation.

Answer explanation

A continuation page header has several components and settings. From the list below, which item is part of a continuation page header?
