It does so in char.cc and others. But I must immidiately ask why?
As kword's deeper structures are being rewritter at the moment it would be
a waste if you started coding something for the old structure.

The style has a numeration and this is rendered in the rendering code causing 
the indent.
There is just one widget used for the rendering of the content, it is the one
in page.cc, but all frames are drawn on top of that (using QPainter).

The structure of the document is perhaps best seen in the saved files.
If you save a kword file, open it with a 'tar -xzf kwordfile.kwd' and you will
see a .xml file appearing. Look at that, and the description of the general 
xml format in koffice/kword/dtd/kword.dtd to see how it works.

No problem ;)
