Final answer:

To create a 1" hanging indent in Microsoft Word, go to Home > Paragraph > Hanging and select Hanging from the Special dropdown menu under Indents and Spacing.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a 1" hanging indent in Microsoft Word, you should select the text you want to format. Then navigate to the Home tab, click on the Paragraph Settings icon to open the dialog box. In this dialog box, look for the Indents and Spacing tab, and under the section labeled Indentation, you'll find a dropdown menu next to Special. From this menu, choose Hanging to apply a hanging indent to your selected paragraph. This will indent all lines after the first line of the paragraph by 1", which is standard for formatting entries in an annotated bibliography or works cited page.

In summary, the correct way to create this formatting is to go to Home > Paragraph > Hanging in Microsoft Word. Other word processors may have different methods, so it's always good to consult the help guide for your specific software if you are not using Word.
