There are types of documents, such as outlines and reports, in which you will want to set hanging indents manually. Setting indents this way allows control in the amount you indent the carryover lines. If, on the other hand, all you want is a simple list, it's easier to create a numbered list or create a bulleted list.
Tip You can use the up and down arrows to quickly increase or decrease the indent.
Your changes take effect immediately.
