\footnotesize gives you 10pt at 12pt base size.

With LyX 1.6: Document>Modules>Hanging. This gives you a Hanging paragraph 
style. Add this to your preamble to adjust the hanging value: 

 \IfFileExists{hanging.sty}{
   \renewenvironment{hangparagraphs}
     {%
       \ifthenelse{\lengthtest{\parindent > 0pt}}%
         {\setlength{\lyxhang}{\parindent}}%
         {\setlength{\lyxhang}{0.7cm}}%
       \par\begin{hangparas}{\lyxhang}{1}%
     }
     {\end{hangparas}}
 }{%else
   \renewenvironment{hangparagraphs}
     {%
       \ifthenelse{\lengthtest{\parindent > 0pt}}%
         {\setlength{\lyxhang}{\parindent}}%
         {\setlength{\lyxhang}{0.7cm}}%
       \begin{hangparas}%
     }
     {\end{hangparas}}
   \renewcommand{\hangpara}{\hangindent \lyxhang \hangafter 1 \noindent}
   \renewenvironment{hangparas}{\setlength{\parindent}{\z@}
   \everypar={\hangpara}}{\par}
 }
