Select the entire document by holding the ctrl key and tapping the “a” key.
On the Home ribbon, under the Paragraph group, click on the Launch button in the bottom right corner.
In the Indentation area under Special, click the drop down arrow and select hanging. Note the MS Word creates a reverse indentation where the second, third, and all other lines are indented, but the first line is not. This appears as though the paragraph is “hanging” under the top line.
On the Page Layout tab, Paragraph group, in the Spacing section, change the Before to 12 pt. Note that MS Word puts extra space between each paragraph without putting spaces between each line. This is different tha double spacing the document.
On the Home ribbon, under the Clipboard group, click on the Launch button in the bottom right corner. This will open the Office Clipboard.
Select and cut the paragraphs in the following order: Make sure you triple click on each paragraph to select the whole thing. If you don’t triple click to select, the document will have errors.
