Paragraph format. Select the paragraph(s) you want to change and choose
Format - Paragraph from the menu. Change the Indentation (special) to none.

Another option would be to change the paragraph format via the style menu.
For if one always wants "Normal" (or "Body Text" or whatever) to have a first
line indent (or not have it), then it is best to go to Format - Style and
modify that style to your needs. Otherwise, if you switch the formatting via
the Paragraph format, and later revert back to "Normal" (or "Body Text" or
whatever) then your formating will not carry on and will revert back to the
way it was.
