NARRATOR: This video is a quick overview of how to do a hanging indent in Microsoft Word. When you're on a reference page or if you're in MLA, you might have a works cited page. You'll see that you need to have your first line all the way over to the left, and then the subsequent line needs to be indented or pushed over. 

If you put your cursor here and try to tab it, Microsoft Word wants to put the whole thing over to the side, and you just want the bottom part to move. So the quick way to do a hanging indent is to highlight what you want indented, come up to paragraph, this little arrow that pulls out the paragraph settings. This box will pop up, and there's a space called indentation. Come to special. Select hanging. 

You'll see a preview here. You can click OK. And you'll see that your indent will then pull over.
