What Eric says.

Then try to add to the org-file a line

#+LaTeX_Header: \parskip=3D0pt

so the spacing between paragraphs is 0.  Then add

#+LaTeX_Header: \parindent=3D0pt

so the first line of a paragraph isn't indented.

If you want to get /all/ the text indented by =E2=80=9C4 spaces=E2=80=9D, p=
ut a line

#+LaTeX: \setlength{\leftskip}{2em}

at the top of your document.


If you want only parts indented, put the line before the beginning of
the part to be indented and put this line after it:

#+LaTeX: \setlength{\leftskip}{0em}


Does this help?

Best regards
Robert
