You could use a hanging indent.

You could have a Glossary paragraph style with a hanging indent of, say, 
3 cm, and a GlossaryNext style for subsequent paragraphs with a fixed 3 
cm indent.

Another option would be a 2-column borderless table with the terms in 
the left column and the definitions in the right.

Finally, in FrameMaker I would make the glossary term a run-in head. I'm 
not sure what the equivalent is in Word.
