Google Docs can create hanging indents for you. Here's how:

Highlight your citation (or list of citations).
Select Format in the Google Docs toolbar.
Select Align & Indent.
Select Indentation options.
In the Indentation options box, select Special indent > Hanging.
By default, 0.5 comes up, which is what you want. Then select apply and your citations now have hanging indent.

This was very helpful. Thank you my good sir.

My IPad would automatically indent when I hit return. It didn’t work

Sorry it's not working for you Anonymous. If you are a COM student I recommend coming into the library so we can help you with it. You can also download MS Word for free which would make your life a lot easier. If you are not a COM student, a good option is till to go to your local library where they would probably be happy to help.

If this doesn't work for you: Highlight the sentence you want to indent. Tap the A. You will see the words "text"and "paragraph". look at the word "text." look under it. Look under the one under text. tap on it. Your sentence will be indented.
