Text Formatting ⇒ \noindent a whole article

[coachbennett1981]

I am wondering if this can be done for an article(which I am sure it can). I am using a great deal of \enumerates and paragraph options with additional text. Is there a way I can make everything flushleft or \noindent with one command, instead of putting \noindent each new paragraph.

Sure, you should be able to just do:

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}

However, your paragraphs will not be distinguished from each other now. You can put spacing between the paragraphs if you like by using:

\setlength{\parskip}{1em}

or similar spacing.

If you're doing both of the things west.logan suggests (which yes, should work), you may be interested in the parskip package.

Thank you, I will check it out!

Setting simply \parskip is no good idea because it also affects lists as well as the ToC, LoF and LoT. Beside the suggestion of frabjous it is also worth to take a look at the KOMA Script bundle or the memoir class.
