Create Hanging Indent Using Microsoft Word Ribbon
You can also create hanging indents using the Microsoft Word ribbon at the top of the document. This can only be used, though, if your citations are all written up and completely correct . The formatting can change if you make any edits after using the ribbon.
1. Complete all of your citations (like below). I have put arrows in front of the lines that will eventually be indented.
2. Highlight the citation and click on the down button in the 'Paragraph' part of the ribbon above the document.
3. Select 'Hanging' under Special and click 'OK'.
4. A Reference Page with hanging indents!
