What is how to do a hanging indent on google docs?

Here's how to create a hanging indent in Google Docs:

There are a few methods to achieve a hanging indent in Google Docs:

• Using the Ruler: This is generally the easiest method.

  1. Select the paragraph(s) you want to apply the hanging indent to.
  2. Look at the ruler at the top of the document. You'll see two markers for each paragraph: a small rectangle (the first-line indent marker) and a triangle (the left indent marker).
  3. Drag the triangle (the left indent marker) to where you want the hanging indent to start. For example, if you want the hanging indent at 0.5 inches, drag the triangle to the 0.5-inch mark on the ruler.
  4. Then, drag the rectangle (the first-line indent marker) back to the left margin (usually the 0-inch mark).

• Using the Indentation Options in the Format Menu:

  1. Select the paragraph(s) you want to apply the hanging indent to.
  2. Go to Format > Align & indent > Indentation options.
  3. Under "Special indent", choose "Hanging".
  4. In the "By" field, specify the size of the indent (e.g., 0.5"). Click Apply. The "By" field determines how far the lines after the first line will be indented.

Understanding the ruler is very helpful for controlling indents. Remember the difference between the first-line indent and the left indent markers.
