Default How to make text wrap to my preference using an outline.

I use the Word outline feature often but never figured out how to get text to
wrap only back to where the line above it begins. The default is to wrap back
to underneath the number or letter in my outline. I think an outline just
looks neater if there is a left margin slightly to the right of the Roman
numeral, letter or whatever. If I play with the margin it moves the whole
paragraph including the letter or number and this isn't what I want. Anybody
understand what I'm trying to do?

This is called a hanging indent. Format | Paragraph: Special: Hanging. It's
a lot easier to set with the ruler. If you use autonumbered styles, a
hanging indent is built in. See
