Insert the right amount of spacing between bibliographic entries. For most documentation styles, there should be a space of one line between each entry on the bibliographic page. Some people like to space out the entries themselves so that there is a one line space between the lines within each entry, but that is optional. Insert a space between each entry either manually by hitting enter at the end of each entry, or to space out both between and among entries, use the double-space feature you can find by clicking "Home" and then "Paragraph."
Highlight the entire page. To highlight the page manually using Microsoft Word, scroll over the portions you wish to highlight with a mouse until every written surface is covered with highlighting. To highlight the page automatically, hit the "CTRL" and "A" buttons simultaneously.
Open the "Paragraph" window. The "Paragraph" window is a window with various tools for formatting written texts. You can find it by clicking on the "Home" tab at the top left corner of the screen and then clicking on downward arrow mark at the far right of the "Paragraph" tab. A window should pop up that displays more options.
Select "Hanging." Once the paragraph window is open, it will automatically show the contents of the "Indents and Spacing" tab. In that tab, the section titled "Indentation" has feature under "Special" that is set to "None" by default. Change that feature to "Hanging" and click "OK" at the bottom of the window. Your bibliography should format automatically with hanging indentations.
For Wordpad, skip the first line of every bibliographic entry, and place your cursor at the beginning of each subsequent line. Then, find the ruler at the bottom of the toolbar. Next, move bottom triangle of the ruler to the half-inch mark. The line at which you placed your cursor should indent as well, but the topmost line of the bibliographic entry should remain. Repeat the action for every line of except the first for each bibliographic entry.
