How to Create a Hanging Indent in Google Docs
- First: Select the text you want indented. You can select a single paragraph or multiple paragraphs at a time.
- Next: On the ruler, drag the Left Indent (light blue inverted triangle) to the right as far as you want the text to be indented. As you will notice, the First Line Indent marker (light blue rectangle) will come along for the ride, and all your selected text will move to the right.
Finally: Drag the First Line Indent marker (light blue rectangle) back to the left margin. It will move independently, and your hanging indent will be created.
