Default indent first line in paragraphs

Same here. For most of what I do, Body Text is the following style for all
headings. If the text is single-spaced, with space between paragraphs (as in
most reports), I use Body Text throughout. If it's double-spaced or
single-spaced without "blank lines" (as in a book), I then use Body Text
First Indent for the remaining text paragraphs.

I use it too, with Body Text First Indent as the "Style for following
paragraph."

Indeed. Which is why I advocate using Body Text style as the "normal"
style;

If all the paragraphs are in Normal
style (ack!), you can change the formatting of the style.

But don't forget that this affects (or can affect) many other styles

that
are, by default, based on the Normal style.

Select all the text and drag the First Line Indent marker on the

or
use Format | Paragraph to add an indent. If all the paragraphs are in

I have finished my text and I found out that I have to indent the

first
line
of every paragraph. It seems that if it is a new document and I am

typing
a
new paragraph, I can still set the parameters of the indentation.

But
now
that the text is finished, it's hard to do it. Do you have an idea
how

to
do
this?
