That's interesting, thanks!
One of the workarounds for uploading Word docs, when the author-publisher wants the first paragraph (or indeed any paragraph) to have no indented first line, is to specify an indent of 0.01 inch, enough to satisfy Amazon that there IS an indent, but small enough to fool the reader into seeing none. This seems to work just fine. Is there any danger to it?
(Many or most author-publishers wouldn't touch html with a pica rule, so there's no point in recommending that approach!)
