* space of indentation at the beginning of paragraphs

In your preamble, put:
  \setlength\parindent{2cm}
or whatever it is you need. LaTeX will accept lots of different units, too. See here:

for help.

Richard,

  If you open Layout->Document->Text Layout there are radiobox options to
separate paragraphs by indentation or an extra line. I always use the
indentation option as document defaults, that this seems to be what is
desired.

  Does one really need to use the \parindent{} length?
