Okay, here we have a works cited page that you want to do a hanging indent on.
There's a couple things to keep in mind. You want to make sure that you can see
your ruler. If you can't see the ruler, go to View. Show ruler should be checked. The
second thing is for entries that are more than one line you want to make sure
you haven't used the Enter key. So, after 72., you have a space and
then Booth. If you hit Enter to get this on the next line, it's not going to know
that that's part of the line before it, so it's not going to do the indent right.
From here forward, we're going to assume that the lines that belong together
don't have an enter key used. The enter key happens here, and here,
etc. Let's select the entire area that you want. Use the left mouse key, and then
drag down, and then take your cursor up to the ruler. You'll see a horizontal
line and a triangle right now. They act together so just left click on them
anywhere and drag them to the right half an inch. You'll know it's a half inch
because that number above the two symbols is going to show you 0.5. You
let go. So this indented everything. We're
halfway there. Now the trick is that you drag it back to the left. But, just
grab the top part, the little rectangle, and go back to zero. There, you have a
hanging indent. The beginning of every line has one of them. If there's a
subsequent line like the third entry, it will indent the subsequent lines. If you
go all the way down to the bottom, even if it's more than one subsequent line,
it'll give those a hanging indent. So there you go. It's not too bad once you
know how to do it. It's just learning the trick of how to apply it. I hope that
was helpful
