How to Make Indenting or Hanging lines in Word document

How to Make Indenting or Hanging lines in Word document

When we start a new Word document or open a saved document, we see shaded areas in the top and left rulers. That show present top and left margins of that document text. There are controls to readjust and make new margins of paragraphs and lines as explained below:

The shape appearing here is a skeleton of what we see in the upper ruler in Word document.

Click in a line of paragraph that you want to move in minus-margin/hanging indent. Then move the upper triangle to the left of paragraph as much as you want to make the line indented to the left of following lines. Likewise, if you want to move the first line in paragraph to the right/indent, move the upper triangle to release wherever you wanted it to show. Other lines will keep their margin.

If you want to let stay first line on same margin as the whole paragraph but move the line/s below to the right, click in the second line and move the lower triangle to the right as much as you want to leave distance to the left below upper line. All remaining lines will move.

If you want to move the whole paragraph to the left or right, click in the box below triangles and move left or right and release where you wanted paragraph to be margined.

There is a triangle (pointing up) in the upper ruler of document. Moving that to the left or right should move and readjust right margin of paragraph or rather the whole document.
