In MS Word you can create a paragraph that has a Hanging Indentation.
A hanging indentation means that the entire paragraph is indented except for the first line:
In Word it is created through:
Format menu -> Paragraph
under Indentation set Special to Hanging and By to the number of inches: 
Though there isn't a property for hanging indentation in the current version of WordWriter, if a hanging indentation is set in an input file or template the hanging indentation will be preserved.
It is also possible to create a Hanging Indentation using WordApplication by setting the Indent property of the ParagraphFormatting object twice:
- Set IndentLocation.Left to the desired indentation.
- Set IndentLocation.FirstLine with the same value only negative so it will "jump" back to the beginning of the page
Note: The indentation is set using the Twips measurement unit (Twip = 1/1440 Inch). To simplify the use of Twips WordWriter provides a TwipsConverter object that allows you to convert twips to or from inches, centimeters and points.
The code below creates a 1 inch hanging indentation.
Notice the negative value given to the FirstLine indentation:

ParagraphFormatting pFormat = doc.CreateParagraphFormatting();
//using the TwipsConverter to convert the inches into Twips
int TwipIndentVal = TwipsConverter.FromInches(1);
//setting the paragraph to be indented 1 inch left
pFormat.set_Indent(TwipIndentVal,
ParagraphFormatting.IndentLocation.Left);
//The negative value takes back the first line by 1 inch, to the left margin
pFormat.set_Indent(-TwipIndentVal,
ParagraphFormatting.IndentLocation.FirstLine);
Paragraph par = doc.InsertParagraphAfter(null, pFormat);
Dim pFormat As ParagraphFormatting
pFormat = doc.CreateParagraphFormatting
'using the TwipsConverter to convert the inches into Twips
Dim TwipIndentVal As Integer
TwipIndentVal = TwipsConverter.FromInches(1)
'setting the paragraph to be indented 1 inch left
pFormat.Indent(TwipIndentVal) = ParagraphFormatting.IndentLocation.Left
'The negative value takes back the first line by 1 inch, to the left margin
pFormat.Indent(-TwipIndentVal) = ParagraphFormatting.IndentLocation.FirstLine
Dim par As Paragraph
par = doc.InsertParagraphAfter(Nothing, pFormat)
