Created attachment 122072 [details] Demo file, including instructions Certain paragraphs seem immune to having their paragraph or character styles changed using the Format Paintbrush. I will attach a demo document which has several paragraphs with Before text: 0.30" After text: 0 First line: -0.30" Copying Paragraph format (Control-click) from another para with all zeroes does not change the destination paragraph, i.e. the indents in the paragraph do not change to zeroes. Also, copying Character format from unadorned text into text which has a colored Character format doesn't change the destination. "Clear Direct Formatting" doesn't have any visible effect, so it's not direct formats that are overriding. Please see the demo file, which includes specific instructions to reproduce.

This seems to be a case of "hidden mysteries": the problematic paragraphs are in fact list items! I unzipped the .odt and edited the content.xml. I made one of the indented paragraphs to not be a list item like so: <text:p text:style-name="P1">blah blah blah blah blah blah blah [blah blah] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah@blah.blah (blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah).</text:p> Then I re-zipped the files and renamed back to .odt. I opened the file and there was no indent to begin with. So the indent comes from the list style and the format paintbrush has no power over it. Let's close.
