Hanging Indent

A hanging indent is used in your reference list. This means that the first line of each reference is flush against the left margin and the subsequent lines of each reference are indented.

Highlight the reference you would like to apply the hanging indent to. Then on the paragraph tab open more options, then under the indentation section select “hanging”. You can preview the indentation below.

For a shortcut, select the reference and then press Ctrl + T.
