Hi,
I regularly use Microsoft Word (for Mac) for writing documents, but have inadvertently altered a setting in respect of tabs and require help. Usually when writing a report I would add para numbers manually by writing the para number (i.e. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc) and then adding a tab to create space before beginning the first word. Subsequently by then clicking to the second line and adding a tab it would take all of the remainder of the paragraph and align it with the first line.

However I have seemed to alter this setting somehow and am are having to tab every line to bring in in line with the first - this then causes a problem and disrupts the document if any edits are required.

Can anybody advise on how to revert back to the original setting? Many thanks!

This is called a hanging indent. See How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly.
