Paper without heading is a problem (5)
I believe the answer is:
issue
'problem' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for issue that I've seen before include "Bring out - children" , "Outcome - children" , "Result, outcome; topic" , "Topic (to be addressed)" , "Edition of a publication" .)
