No indent on first paragraph

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

Hi all,

Is there a way to change the format settings so that the first paragraph in a new chapter is never indented, but subsequent paragraphs are?

Thanks

There’s no way to do this automatically; paragraphs just pick up ruler settings from the previous paragraph, so you’d need to manually switch it one way or the other in the editor and then not override formatting during compile. I’d leave it until the final draft, so chapters won’t be shuffling around, and then you could decide whether this would be simpler to do in Scrivener or in another program after compiling.
