Setting indentations Hanging indents allow you to align the text when you use bullets or numbered lists. The text of each paragraph wraps within the indentation setting, which you can change using the Indentation markers on the ruler. The Right Indent marker is a single triangle that you can drag to a new location to specify the right edge of the text. The Left Indent marker includes two triangular markers: S The upper triangle sets the indentation of the first line of the paragraph. S The lower triangle sets the indentation for the remaining lines of the paragraph (the hanging indent). If both of the Left Indent triangles are together, all lines in the paragraph align beneath the markers. If the top triangle is to the right of the bottom triangle, the paragraph indents in the standard way with the first line indented, as shown in the illustration at left.
