However, if I don't check that "remove" box, I then have no control over the indent size--and the indent seems to go from 1.5 em to something too small. This puzzles me. How can I guarantee a 1.5 em paragraph indent without removing ALL blank lines between paragraphs? And just out of curiosity, why should that control be taken away from us if we don't check the box?
Welcome to why I use Sigil to fine tune.

I just identify the class being used for the Paragraph and edit that in the stylesheet.
I like both paragraph gaps AND Indent
I use .5em for the top paragraph margin (using a bottom margin may cause a blank pag on the last P)
I got tired of trying to figure out how to get the body class to use/arrive at font-size: 1.2em
so I just *fix* those (along with other corrections/adjustments) with sigil
