The following field construction
{ IF { MERGEFIELD Line1 } "" "Line 1: { MERGEFIELD Line1 }¶
" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD Line2 } "" "Line 2: { MERGEFIELD Line2 }¶
" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD Line3 } "" "Line 1: { MERGEFIELD Line3 }¶

word "Line" has a hanging indent.
Line 1 On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to
coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these
galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other
document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams,
they also coordinate with your current document look.
Line 2 You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the
document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles
gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the
other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the
look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
Line 3 To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme
elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick
Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the
Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that
you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained
in your current template.

Peter - I tried formatting the entire document with Hanging Indent. Didn't
work. Still got the first line of the generated paragraph indented the
same
as the second overflow line. But thanks for the thought. Seamus

Off the top of my head: have you tried formatting the paragraph(s) that
contain the { IF } field sequence with the formatting you want (i.e. as
well as the paragraphs inside the IF field results)?
