If the first line on the page is the beginning of a paragraph, and you are
using an indented paragraph style, such as Body Text First Indent, you can
apply an unindented style, such as Body Text, to the first paragraph. There
is no real publishing convention in this regard, however, except that the
first paragraph following a side heading is usually flush left, and that
situation can be handled by making Body Text the following style for your
heading styles and Body Text First Indent the following style for Body Text.
If you're getting an apparent indent even though the text at the top of the
page is in the middle of a paragraph, there are two possible causes:
1. You're usually an indented style and have inserted a manual page break at
the end of the previous page, thus creating a paragraph break as well.
Manual page breaks should be avoided.
2. A frame or text box or other invisible graphic object anchored to the
header is displacing the text; see

Is there a particular way to NOT have the first line of a first/new page
indented?
I've been ready and experimenting but I always end up the first word of a
new page indented. I'd like it to look something like,
***** ********** * ******** **** ******** *. ******** **** ** *******.
********* **** *** ******* .
*****, ************ ********* ********. *********** ********* ******
***. ***********.
I don't know the name of the rule, but most stuff i read has the first
paragraph of a new page not intented
I hope you can understand that.
thanks
