-
- Select Document... from the Format Menu, and set your tabs to .75 inches. Then
- with the ruler showing, set the paragraph margins for "Hanging paragraphs"
- (move the lower triangle on the left edge of the ruler to .75, then drag the
- upper half of it to 0.); you can do this by entering the desired values in
- Format/Paragraph, too. This will give you the first paragraph. For successive
- indentations on the following paragraphs, use command-shift-N to indent, or
- command-shift-M to unindent one level. You can find the associated commands in
- Tools/Commands... under the name "Nest Paragraph" (and Unnest, I guess), and
- put them on a menu if you like.
