You could have your indent in the Default Formatting, and create a FirstParagraph Style with no indent. After lists you’ll have apply the FirstParagraph-style.

@AntoniDol Thank you for your note, but I dont understand it.

  • Where is the default formatting?
    • I feel like that first line indent is already in Default Formatting because it always behaves that way.
  • Create a FirstParagraph Style with no indent?
    • I want the indent.

Not sure im picking up what you are putting down sir. thank you though for engaging

The industry standard is to remove the indent after a heading, illustration, table, or a white line seperating scenes.

Pick any book from your collection, published by a traditional publisher, and check for that rule. :wink:

The De­fault formatting is the formatting you set in Options/Settings > Editing > Formatting , applied by using the No Style setting to text.

Apply that to existing documents with Documents > Convert > Text To Default Formatting…

As noted above, this isn’t our design choice, it’s just how the text editor works and is largely out of our hands.
