Using a consistent paragraph style would also allow you to forego the leading tabs to indent each paragraph. You may want to select all the paragraphs and apply the same style, then make any changes to the style definition. It's generally much easier to work with a document that uses only styles, with no direct formatting. If the Format > Paragraph settings are the same as in the applied style, then it should work to simply change the style definition and all paragraphs using that style-that do not have any direct formatting-will automatically change to match the new style settings. You can re-apply the style to displace direct formatting (use the style box or double-click the style name in the Styles & Formatting window), or use Format > Default Formatting which removes all direct formatting, including things like bold or italic text. Modifying the style definition won't displace the direct formatting. Direct formatting overrides the same settings from the applied style. If the Format > Paragraph settings are different than the applied style, then the paragraph has "direct" formatting. In the same paragraph, menu: Format > Paragraph > Indents & Spacing check the above/below settings.

Your screen capture shows the dialog configuring the style named "Default". Add the extra lines for the left caption also to complete the process, but note that it's a bit trickier, since the upper left corner of the caption frame depends on its width and height.
