Default Changing the indentation of 3 asterisks indicating scene break

Hi! I'm writing a novel and within each chapter, there are usually a couple of scene breaks. I signify a scene break with 3 centered asterisks: *** (This is how you format a manuscript.)

However, the first line of the paragraph following the *** has a hanging indent (as do all the paragraphs.) This means that the 3 asterisks above it are not truly centered on the line because they are centered according to the hanging indent. To correctly center the 3 asterisks, I'd have to go through each in the book, highlight it, then remove the hanging indent. I've tried to find a "replace all" solution to no avail.

If anyone has a solution that would NOT involve doing each one separately, I would be most appreciative!
