What Eric says.
Then try to add to the org-file a line
#+LaTeX_Header: \parskip=0pt
so the spacing between paragraphs is 0. Then add
#+LaTeX_Header: \parindent=0pt
so the first line of a paragraph isn't indented.
If you want to get /all/ the text indented by “4 spaces”, put 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
