Am I using this wrong?

I’m using Scrivener 1.96, been using Scrivener for about six months. It is great for writing but I’m guessing I’m not understanding bits.

I see that people were expecting a 3.0 back in 2017; is the Mac version on a different numbering scheme?

So I’m befuddled by a handful of things that the forum search doesn’t help with.

1. Multiple Windows.
   Can’t open the project in multiple windows. I can split the screen, which sort-of works but my monitors are not the same orientation so it’s all wonky. Is there some trick to having the same project in two windows? Or should my “research” have been in a different project maybe?

2. Aeon Timeline.
   This also requires that I not have the project open in Scrivener? My short-term work-around is to export from Timeline to a HTML view, but seriously?

3. Fonts - I still don’t understand
   Some of my chapters have a big font, some don’t. I don’t know why. It’s distracting.

4. Character linking without Script mode.
   Script mode is probably fantastic for scripts, but I’d like some of the features in my book mode, such as attributing lines to a character, or at least tying them to a chapter. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

1. See this very recent thread, found quickly with a search: Open multiple windows with Scrivener.
2. I don’t use Aeon, so no idea. Is this an issue that Scrivener is responsible for, or Aeon Timeline?
3. I assume you’ve used Tools > Options > Editor to set up a default formatting for new documents? If so, then Documents > Convert > Formatting to Default Text Style should put any chapter into that default formatting.
4. No clue.

Pretty basic, but I hope it’s some help.
