Do you prefer "tabbing" your paragraphs or just the new-school way of starting paragraphs?
Which according to you, is better?

Jonathan, Bingo! Indentation it is. The online text editors don't allow those, but that's what I was taught from the beginning and now there's a sudden flow of change. Thanks.
Thanks Victoria, I prefer the same.
Katie, I did not know that part, well, thanks again.
hehehe you really wanted to know the answer Victoria!
Basically, publishers and magazines often have a way of formatting for all their books. This might include font/ size and also spacing between paragraphs, whether you have capital letters through the headings or just at the beginning. Sometimes it even includes how to spell words such as organise/ organize. Then they all have a similar style (the house style).
It can be a bit of a pain for an editor to go through 80,000 words and remove all the tabs, but if you have the paragraph set to automatically indent all you need to do is highlight it all and change the indentation to slightly wider.
I tab mine as that's how I was taught in school... What is the 'house style' Katie?
