A hanging indent is created when the first line of a paragraph is at a location to the left of the subsequent lines in the paragraph. The term is often used to refer to a first line indent. Either way, the first line of a paragraph is indented or outdented. A hanging indent is typically used for bullets and numbering or to cite a reference.
This can be found in the “Indents and Spacing” page. Click the drop down menu under “Special”. Select “First Line” to automatically indent the first line of each new paragraph. Use a hanging indent in a document when you want to keep the first line of a paragraph aligned with the left margin while subsequent lines in the paragraph are indented in from the left margin. In Microsoft Word for Mac computers, the Paragraph dialog box is used to add and adjust hanging indents.
