To create a list with hanging indention
1 On the Draw menu, click Text ➤ Multiline Text.

ties as needed.

CTRL + A (Select All) to select the list.
6 On the ruler, slide the top indent marker to the left margin.
This step places the numbers at the left margin.
Note The ruler displays the tabs and indents that are set for the selected
paragraphs or, if no text is selected, the paragraph where the cursor is
located. The default tab stops are the long tick marks on the ruler. To set a
custom tab stop, click the ruler where you want the tab stop.

This step indents the text, including turnover lines in items that are more
than one line long.

the paragraphs you want to change, click the ruler to set new tab stops, if
needed, and move the indent markers.

lowing methods:
