That's it.

In Word, each formatting property is associated with some level of
detail (from largest to smallest, the levels are document, section,
paragraph, sentence, word, and character). Indenting is a
paragraph-level property. You can tell Word to indent the first line
of a paragraph differently than the other lines, but that's the limit
of the flexibility.

Thus, to indent some selection of lines that aren't either a full
paragraph or the first line of a paragraph, you need to use the
wrapping capabilities of some drawing object. It could be an AutoShape
(rectangle or any other shape), a text box, a frame, or a table with
text wrapping turned on. Any of these can be made invisible by setting
the line color appropriately.

There is a question that says "Inset this text from the left margin at least
35mm but no more than 50mm across and at least 60mm but no more than 75mm
down." I have tried using tabs but it seems to do either one line or the
whole paragraph.

The teacher of the class was not able to help. The closest solution I was
able to render was to insert a rectangle of that specified size tight with
the text so it was wrapped around it, and set the colour of the rectangle
border to "no line".

Is there an easier solution, or is that it?
