Thank you so much Clive! So I don't need to put the (Can we get more funding) headline in quotes?

Do you want to say that it is a headline, and quote its exact words?

Yes. So for example if I wanted to say:

Can we get more funding was the headline used in yesterday's paper.

What would I capitalize, would I add a ? and what would go in quotes if anything? It has to read as I typed it since I am transcribing speech. I cannot change the order of the sentence around.
thanks again
