Thumbs up Answer: Hanging indent & numbered list

  1. To create a hanging indent in a numbered list in Word 2007, you can follow these steps:
  2. Select the numbered list you want to modify.
  3. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
  4. Click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the "Paragraph" group to open the Paragraph dialog box.
  5. In the "Indentation" section, set the "Special" dropdown to "Hanging".
  6. Set the "By" value to the amount you want the second and subsequent lines to be indented.
  7. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

    This should create a hanging indent for the second and subsequent lines of your numbered list. If you find that the hanging indent triangle on the ruler is not moving independently of the left indent square, you can try adjusting the left indent first to get the desired spacing, and then adjust the hanging indent.

    If you're still having trouble, you can try creating the hanging indent manually by placing your cursor at the beginning of the second line of each numbered item, and pressing the "Tab" key to indent it. This will create a hanging indent, but you'll need to do it manually for each item in the list.
