To tab the second line of a citation in Google Slides, you first need to insert your citation text as a textbox. Unfortunately, Google Slides does not support hanging indents directly. Instead, manually adjust the indentation by placing your cursor at the beginning of the second line, then press the Spacebar to create the desired indentation manually. For precise alignment, use the ruler at the top of the Slides workspace to ensure consistency across your citations.
