I've used a trick in Microsoft Word to allow indents where I want them. I use a series of characters like "%" or "$" at the beginnings of the lines and from "Font Color" I select the white background. Then I save the document as HTML (.htm) and from there use calibre to convert it to whatever format I like. The result is that the lines are indented as I want (the white characters don't show), but there surely must be an easier, less "messy" way.

I also use Word to indent entire paragraphs before sending it to calibre.
