  • How do I indent a paragraph the opposite way?

    From dbrower256@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 22 18:35:46 2018
    I am typing a works cited page. If I consider each item on the page a paragraph, how would I indent the paragraph so that the first line is justified with the left margin, but the succeeding lines are offset toward the right? In other words it would be a
    sort of reverse-indent, where the first line extends outward instead of tucks in to the rest of the paragraph.

    I am using MLA style formatting.

    This is called a hanging indent. See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/basic_formatting.htm#Indents
