how to do hanging indent google docs

To create a hanging indent in Google Docs, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the text you want to format with a hanging indent (such as citations or references).
2. Go to the top menu and click Format > Align & indent > Indentation options.
3. In the pop-up window, find the Special indent dropdown menu and select Hanging.
4. Set the indent size to 0.5 inches (the standard size).
5. Click Apply.

This will indent all lines of the selected paragraph except the first line, creating a hanging indent. This method is faster and more accurate than manually using tabs and line breaks, and it keeps the formatting consistent even if you edit the text later

. Note: The hanging indent feature is available on the desktop version of Google Docs, but not in the mobile app, where you would have to create hanging indents manually by inserting line breaks and tabs
