Jul 28, 2018 - You can use the menu commands to adjust the indent applied to a paragraph. If you want to format a hanging indent, Word provides a handy.
HI Bob, Haven't checked if this feature is available in Pages for iOS, but it has been standard since the beginning in Pages for Mac. Example below is in Pages 5.6.2.
Select the paragraphs to which the hanging indent will apply. Go to the View menu, and choose Show Rulers. In the ruler look to the left end to find the two part icon combining a Left Margin stop (downward pointing triangle) and a First Line left margin stop (thin rectangle sitting on the triangle). Click on the triangle part and drag right to where you want the main left margin of the text to be. Click on the rectangle part and drag left to the document margin. Alternate method: Select the paragraph(s) to which you want to apply hanging indents. Open the Format inspector by clicking the Format Brush.
Set the first line and left values in the Indents section to the values you want. (the ones shown are the result of my setting the hanging indent by dragging the icons on the ruler. Results of setting by entering numbers in the controls in the inspector can be more precise. Regards, Barry. Apple Footer.

This might be an insanely easy problem, yet it's not working for me. I think what I want is called a hanging indent. I'm currently using Word 2011. I've gotten this to work before, although, I don't remember the version of Microsoft office from before so that might be the 'solution'. This is what I want: 8/5 tab indented txt (i hit tab to indent it) 2nd tab indented txt (cursor lined up under 't' in the previous line after I hit enter) 8/6 tab indented txt (i hit tab to indent it) 2nd tab indented txt (this txt is lined up with the previous line when I hit enter) 3rd tab indented txt (this txt is lined up with the previous line when I hit enter) 8/7 tab indented txt (i hit tab to indent it) 2nd tab indented txt (this txt is lined up with the previous line when I hit enter) I went to the Format-Paragraph menu. From there, I clicked on 'Indents and Spacing'.
I clicked on 'Hanging' which is under 'Special' and specified 0.5' as the indent amount. However, on a tab indented line, after I hit enter, the subsequent line is not lined up with the previous tabbed line, but with the left margin, i.e. 8/5 tab indented txt (i hit tab) this subsequent line is not lined up with above tabbed line Does anyone have any tips for this?
I know this worked for me before at previous jobs, although, I don't remember the version of Word I used before. Thanks in advance for your help.
