Does PowerPoint 2010 support hanging punctuation?

I've added a large quote to a slide, and I want all the text left-justified with a hanging quotation mark. Is this supported in PowerPoint 2010? The only workaround I've found is to put the quotation in a separate text box and place it to the left of the first line.

    To get hanging punctuation in PowerPoint 2010, do the following:

    1. Insert the quotation mark at the beginning of your quote. Stay in edit mode for editing the text in your text box.
    2. Turn ON Rulers: Check the "Ruler" box in "View" tab.
    3. On the ruler, the top arrow marker is for the start of the first line. The bottom arrow marker are for subsequent lines. Adjust the bottom marker to align with the start of text of the first line to get hanging punctuation.

    Alternatively, you can use a quotation mark as your bullet since the above ruler settings are preset for you in the case of bullets.
