As you know, there's a huge slice of the self-pub world that insists on using Word for formatting e-books. Indeed, there's a significant slice that heralds it as the ideal way. I like to help the former, if I can, even if it's only to suggest a kludge like 0.01"

Oh, yes--I never meant to imply that it was "fixed" for Word, because I'm not sure it's BROKEN for Word. The default is the default. Simply "not" indenting a paragraph doesn't necessarily convey, via the HTML, that it is flush-left, does it? I mean...(sorry, thinking aloud a bit here), if you have a paragraph class of Normal (which all MS docs do), and it has the default standard indent, and then you create "regular" with an indent, and what, a third class, "first," for non-indented? Is he saying that's what he did, and KDP ignored his class FIRST, and indented it anyway? OR, is he saying that he simply didn't style it AS indented?
