Formatting paragraphs with a hanging indent in Word 2010

A hanging indent is where the first line of a paragraph is not indented but all the other lines are. It is less frequently used but because of this, it could mean that your Word document stands out more. If you want it to have this different effect, then here's what you do,

Select the paragraph, go to the Home tab and double click the arrow icon in the lower right hand corner of the Paragraph pane. On the Indents and Spacing tab, use the ''Special'' drop down menu to select the ''Hanging'' option and then indicate the indentation level.
