Different Paragraph Formats
There are 3 different types of paragraph formats. Block style is when all of the lines in the text are aligned with the left margin, and none of them are indented. You would usually see block style in business letters and memos. The second style is indented. Indented is when the first line of the paragraph is indented, a short way to do that is use the tab key. You will usually see an indented format when you look at a report. Finally, hanging indent. Hanging indent is when all of the lines are indented except the first line, the first line is flush with the left margin. Hanging indent is commonly used in citing Bibliography sources.
