Hi,

On probably 90% of books I convert in Calibre, I usually encounter an aesthetic problem where the paragraph indents are two large.

I use the 'Look & Feel' tab to fix the text by going to 'Layout', checking the box that says 'Remove spacing between paragraphs' and change the indent size from 1.5em to 0.9em.

This usually works for the indents, but it also removes the spacing between paragraphs and sometimes the spacing is very necessary, especially in history texts where there are quotes from other sources. If I use the above method for these, all the paragraphs become squashed together.

Is there a way to only change the indent size but not remove the spacing? I have tried to change the indent size and then UNCHECKING the box, but that does not make the indents smaller.
Any help gratefully received.
