How to set first line indents in an existing document

I can set the first line indent for one paragraph only. The next time I press return on existing text there is no indent. Is there no way to reset defaults on an existing document so you get a first line indent? I don’t want to use tabs for new paragraphs because the document will be used in Indesign.

As I explained in your other thread, the Documents → Convert → Text to Default Formatting command will reset the formatting in existing documents.

You can also leave the text in the project alone and use the Compile command to change the indents.
