OFF TOPIC -- Latex Question

[Open Slate]

Latex can do what you describe but you would need to create or locate a
different document class. The standard classes that ship with (most)
versions of Latex are for academic journals, books, and letters. You are
more likely to get your question answered on a Latex specific forum or
mailing list. Finally, in case you have not already tried it, I highly
recommend using Lyx to create Latex documents.

If you are in a rush you can use the \section* command to enter your
article headings and the \subsection* command for your section headings.
The trailing asterisk suppresses automatic numbering, so you will need to
add your own. Much nicer to use automatic numbering.
