Hi MIchael,

I cannot say what parameter in maa-monthly controls the indentation, given its coding in TeX rather than LaTeX. But would the following be an acceptable work-around, using the enumitem package instead of enumerate? With the code below, the desired labels will be given a normal par indent.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{maa-monthly}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newlist{algenum}{enumerate}{1}
\setlist[algenum,1]{wide,leftmargin=*,label=Alg-\arabic*}
  
\begin{document}

This is a test of the enumerate environment.  This is a sentence longer
than just one line.
\begin{algenum}
\item The first
\item The second
\end{algenum}
and here is another line.

\end{document}

I cannot figure out what is changed in that package (which is available from the MAA site, but you really don't have to get it.  If I know what is changed, I can change it back locally.  Unfortunately, the documentation for the enumerate package doesn't seem to mention this.
