I used First line indent instead of tabs for indenting paragraphs in the word doc. Comes out fine in an epub file. The mobi file took that back to no indents and a line spacing instead. Is there a similar version of Sigil for mobi files before I spend all kinds of time messing with that?

Sigil is for EPUB only
BTW Sigil is just 1 forum down)
Mobi has its rules and limitations (you can see discussion on those in the Mobi forum ).
Not everything that can be done in EPUB , translates (Which is why EPUB is a great format: always start with Highest quality format)
That said, Calibre has LOTS of conversion settings that affect what you get. Some are in 'common options', some in (select Mobi) output options
Remember: Changes made in Preferences apply ONLY to new book conversions. If the book has been already converted, it will use whatever was in effect at that time UNLESS you click (tick) the 'Restore Defaults' button on the (starting) conversion screen
