I don't know the correct terminology, but if the title is centre-aligned the paragraphs' first line ought to have a single space indent. When I was in primary school this was the prevailing style. With the advent of word processors the titles as well as the paragraphs became left-aligned with no space at their start, but this may have been a typesetting style BC (Before Computers). :-) -- Regards, Mick
