"First line" indents every line and photos

Document is set to indent 1st line.  This works well with block text but it also indents every title, caption and photo.

Why does it recognize every title and even photos as a new paragraph to indent and how do I limit indenting just to paragraph text?

  • It is most probably that you have formatted the Normal style so that it has the indent and as a result, that being the default style, results in an indent being applied to other paragraphs.

    You should create a new style that has the required indent and use it when you want to create an indented paragraph.

    See the following page of the late Shauna Kelly's website:
