Text Indent

Hi, Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I am relatively new to using Calibre to edit my books. I normally copy them to RTF, edit them and then convert back to epub.

Question
Using Calibre; if I edit in RTF format and have a paragraph break at the end of every paragraph, then when I transfer to epub and edit, Calibre indents the first line but leaves a line between each paragraph. I am seeking a solution to this problem please?

Attempts
If I use the Line Break in RTF and then convert, Calibre removes the line between each paragraph but won't indent the first line.

In the Common Options it shows indent size: 1.5 em but is greyed out??

I also copied this - p { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 5px 0; text-indent: 1.5em;
} into the Extra CSS, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Copaw
