hanging indent in subject bibliography

If I understand the manual correctly it is possible to generate a bibliography with hanging indents only after doing a scan.
I wonder if there would be a way to combine this with the creation of a subject bibliography?

I need to separate between books, articles. etc. in my thesis bibliography and I would like to format it with hanging indents.
Right now that means doing a scan and then manually separating the output and make the subject bibliography (if one wishes to preserve the indent generated after the scan). Any workaround here?

Thanks,
Gerben

Check the hanging indent box in the format you are using. If you send the Subject Bibliography to the bibliography window and copy/paste it into your word processor, the hanging indent is there. If you generate the Subject Bibliography during a scan, it's there, too, but you must select the references and manually adjust the left margin in your word processor to see it.

I looked into this some more, and the hanging indent on scanning works with Mellel and Pages, not Word. The workaround I mentioned (set the left margin for the bibliography after the scan) provides a quick solution, but I'll work on a better one.

Thanks a million, this is already great! :D

I didn't realize the trick with the margin, using Mellel and works fine.
