The following field construction

" "" }{ IF { MERGEFIELD Line3 } "" "Line 1: { MERGEFIELD Line3 }¶
" "" }¶

where ¶ represents a carriage return, with each of those paragraphs
formatted with the hanging indent provides the desired result in Word
2007 here.

Copying and pasting the result into a plain text email message, the
indents are lost, but in the word document each of the paragraphs
starting with the 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.
