This is determined by the document class. LyX gets this information not yet from the document class, so it has to guess what to show on screen. > > If I uncheck this box, the paragraph is no longer indented (in preview).

It's as if LyX loaded the "indentfirst" > package behind my back. No, LyX uses the default of the document class. Only if you want to override this, you need to change anything. Vincent
