On the Format menu, select Tabs to open a window with tab options. The space between tabs can show dots, dashes, or other 'leader' characters to line up information.Ĭlick the lower edge of the ruler where you want to set the tab. On the ruler, drag the upper triangular part of the lower marker to the place you want the indentation to start, for example to the 1' mark. Select the text where you want to add a hanging indent.
If you don't see the ruler at the top of your document, click View > Ruler to display it. With a hanging indent, the second and all the following lines of a paragraph are indented more than the first.
Note: To adjust the position of a tab, drag it right or left along the ruler.
