Setting a Hanging Indent (Option 1)
The first line of each citation starts on the left margin, but all lines after the first are indented ½
inch. There are two ways to set this hanging indent:
1. Click the Home tab.
2. Click the lower right
corner of the Paragraph group.
3. Under Indentation, set Special to Hanging, and click OK.
Setting a Hanging Indent (Option 2)
1. Click the View tab. Click the Ruler box. A ruler will appear at the top of your document.
2. At the left margin on the ruler, place the tip of the pointer (cursor) on the lower
triangle-shaped indent marker. (The words Hanging Indent will appear when the cursor
is in the right position.)
