   Tip

   The default measurement units for indents are displayed in inches. You can specify other measurement units by typing the abbreviation for them after the numerical value: inches (in), centimeters (cm), picas (pi), points (pt), or pixels (px). When you specify a unit other than inches, Microsoft Publisher converts the measurement to its equivalent in inches.

In a hanging indent, the second and subsequent lines of a paragraph are indented more than the first line. Common uses for the hanging indent are resumes and bulleted and numbered lists.
