In this document you will learn how to use a table to create hanging paragaphs.

In a hanging paragraph, the first line is at the page margin, but the other lines of the paragraph are indented, such as:
Monday: On Monday you will get an overview of the city, starting at Fisherman's Wharf and ending at the Golden Gate Bridge. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. Because the weather in San Francisco can change suddenly, it is a good idea to bring a light jacket.
Tuesday: Giants' game at ATT Park. Meet at the statue of Willie Mays at 2:45PM. Again, a light jacket is recommended.
Wednesday: Golden Gate Park and the Academy of Sciences. Lunch will be provided on this day. Meet at the shuttle stop at 9:00am.
To create this effect in Acces4, you will use a table.
  1. Switch to Basic View by choosing View > Basic.
  2. Add a new, blank problem. (For more information, see the article Creating Your Own Problems.)
  3. Click the Insert table button on the toolbar. (For more information on inserting tables, see the article Inserting a Table Using the Visual Editor.)
  4. Set the number of rows equal to the number of paragraphs and set the number of columns equal to 2.
  5. Set column 2 to "Fixed Width" to force the paragraph to wrap. Experiment with different sizes of the column to find the best value.
  6. Click OK to close the Table Properties dialog and return to the editor. (If you need to return to the Table Properties dialog to make changes, right-click on the table in the Visual Editor and choose Table > Properties from the shortcut menu.)
  7. Enter the "hanging" part of the paragraph in column 1 and the indented part in column 2.
  8. Click OK to close the Visual Editor and return to the Document Window.
