Help with Hanging Indents in Google Docs

Instructions for Creating a Hanging Indent in Google Docs

1. Make sure your page line spacing in set for double space.

2. Make sure that you can see the Googe Docs Ruler bar. (Click VIEW and check SHOW RULER if it is not)

3. Type all the text of your entries in proper MLA format. Worry about the hanging indent at the end. Make sure you have all your info per source in proper order. Make sure sources are in alphabetical order.

4. Once you have all the sources typed in double space and in proper order, you are ready to do the hanging indent.

5. First: select the text you want indented (highlight your first source)

6. Second: on the ruler, drag the Left Indent (light blue inverted triangle) to the right five spaces. Note: all of your source will move to the right

7. Last: drag the First Line Indent Marker (light blue rectangle) back to the left margin, leaving the triangle where it is.

8. Done! Now repeat with the rest of your sources.
