How do I remove the first line indent in all paragraphs of a document i.e. so
that all the text is flush left?

Default How to remove the first line indent in all paragraphs

It will depend on whether the first-line indent is created by actually
indenting or by inserting a tab character. You can see this by viewing the
ruler and also by viewing nonprinting characters (Ctrl+Shift+8) to see
whether there is an arrow at the beginning of each paragraph.

If the indent is caused by an actual indent, Ctrl+A to Select All and drag
the First Line Indent marker back to the left margin. If there are tab
characters, use Replace to search for ^t and replace with nothing.
