Default way to do a "double hanging indent"

No, that would be a double indent (and it's a "block quote," not a "pull
quote," which is something else entirely). A double hanging indent, I would
guess, is one that has a hanging indent on the second line and then another,
larger left indent somewhere below that. I don't believe there's any good
way to achieve this in Word. In WordPerfect, there is a command (Ctrl+F7) to
"create a hanging indent here." You insert the code, and it resets the left
indent at that point until you change it, which you can do later in the same
paragraph.

Format your paragraph with an indent on both the right and left side. I'm
guessing that you are really talking about a "pulled quote". (Format |
Paragraph)

We have recently converted a large document operation from WordPerfect

to
Word. We have documents formatted whose layout had been aided by a WP
feature that allowed us to do a "double hanging indent".

We can't find a way to do something similar in Word, so we've been
redesigning documents into tables to use tabular columns in place of a
hanging indent inside of a hanging indent.

Is this the only/best way to achieve this kind of layout?

Thanks.

Chip
