I have written a test document to illustrate the strange behaviour I have encountered. When I compile the code, it indents the paragraph on the first page differently from the second paragraph but when I skip to the third page, the indentation matches the first page. Please help. My code is below:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside]{article}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
%\nocite{*} % use if we want to see a list of all references
%\input{title_page}
% \input{abstract}
% \input{table_of_contents}
% \input{introduction}
\section{dude}
\par sdfdsflsgssdfsd \newpage
\par sfsdfsfsfsdfsfsd \newpage
\par sfsdfsdfsfsdfsdfs \newpage
%\input{background}
% \input{research_questions}
% \input{approach}
% \input{related_work}
% \input{thesis_outline}
% \input{project_requirements}
% \input{timeline}
%\input{references}
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
