Hi unboggling,

I read through your earlier posts without finding the answer to my questions, so now will read this one #154...

But in case my question still isn't there, can you direct me where to look for these?

I am using Calibre to convert to MOBI format... to be read by the Kindle.

I use Word, converted to HTML, filtered, and I am quite pleased with my results, with just two exceptions:

My input file has first line indents for all paragraphs except the first in every Chapter.

According to the typographical convention I am following, the first line of every paragraph should be flush left, not indented.

But, Calibre ignores my flush left first line, and adds an indent for every paragraph.

My other question is... how do I tell Calibre where "Start" is?

Currently, my Calibre MOBI file (when read with Kindle) opens to the second page, even though I have placed a Start tag on the Forward page in my HTML code.

I'm not having any luck trying to search the "help" files...

Can you direct me to the right page to find this information?

Thanks!
