It's easier done than said:
1. Place your cursor at the beginning of your second line, before any text
2. Right click your mouse
3. Select Paragraph from the resulting pop up menu
4. Under Indentation, use the Special pull-down menu to select hanging
5. Use the By menu to select 0.5"

4. I checked out 3 other sites to find this info! Thank you for making it so simple. I felt embarrassed to ask in class because I felt like I was the only one who didn't know how to do it!
