Q. How do I create a hanging indent in Word for my citations?

It's easier done than said (works for Word on PC or MAC):

See instructions for your phone or smaller devices 

1. Place your cursor at the beginning of your citation, and highlight it.
2. Right click your mouse
3. Select Paragraph from the resulting pop up menu
4. Under Indentation, use the Special pull-down menu to select hanging
5. Use the By menu to select 0.5"
6. Select OK. 
7. 

For multiple Citations in a References, Works Cited or Bibliography Page

1. Once you've applied the hanging indent using the technique above, hit enter after your citation.
2. If you are typing your citation it should keep the same formatting. If you are pasting in your citation, right click when you paste and select the paste as text option (looks like a A on clipboard) and Word will automatically apply all the formatting you've already done, including hanging indent, spacing, font, etc. Alternatively you could wait until all your citations are on your bib, highlight them all at once, then use the 5 steps as listed above.

Create a Hanging indent on your phone

You might not see teh options on your phone. The key is to rotate the screen to landscape mode so you can see the available options (see images below to see the difference). Here are the steps:

1. Once you have typed in the text you want for your block quote, tap enter/return before the first word of the quote and after the last word of the quote.
2. Highlight the text that you want to indent.
3. Rotate your device so that you're viewing it in landscape mode.
4. Choose the indent option and you're good. If for some reason you can' do that, you'll have to tap the dot options that represent more menu options, bu that will take more steps.
