Hi Jeff,

I just saw your question about removing paragraph indent, and adding space
between paragraphs. You can do that with the following LaTeX commands:

\setlength{\parskip}{1ex plus 0.5ex minus 0.2ex} %% Add space between
paragraphs

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt} %% Do not indent paragraphs


You can put them at the top of your org document like so:


#+LATEX_HEADER: \setlength{\parskip}{1ex plus 0.5ex minus 0.2ex} %% Add
space between paragraphs

#+LATEX_HEADER: \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} %% Do not indent paragraphs


I hope this helps!


  -Anthony
