One document in a current project suddenly decided to have a hanging indent.
Searching for Scrivener help online I discovered that this mystery could be got rid of by changing the indent on the Ruler. Did it and it worked. But now I can’t get rid of the ruler. Cmd-R is supposed to be a toggle, but it isn’t working as one, and “Hide ruler” is not an item in the Formatting menu. Help!
You’re right that Cmd-R should toggle the ruler. Strange that it’s not working for you.
There is a command though; when the ruler is visible, what you’re looking for is Hide Ruler, which you’ll find under the Format drop down menu. I believe that when the ruler is hidden, this command automatically changes to Show Ruler.
Now that’s weird.
The Format drop-down was instead showing “Show ruler”, but greyed-out. But I went off and had a bit of lunch, sleeping the computer while I did it, then when I came back I opened a different project and did a bit of work in it. Went back to the ruler-ruled project, and “Hide ruler” had reappeared. Happy now.
Thanks for the help. Scrivener must have just had a conniption.
Funnily enough, the same thing is now happening here. Screenshot attached to show that my ruler is visible, but the command is greyed out. Cmd-R is not working either. What have you done to my computer 
Eeek!
Just switched app focus to Safari, then back to Scrivener, and all is once more as it should be. Weird.
What’s app focus?
I just mean when I use a different piece of software, the menu options in the tool bar change to reflect the app being used. So if I’m using Safari, I see Safari’s menu options. If I’m using Scrivener I see Scrivener’s menu options, etc.
That’s it. Thanks for clearing things up!
Nope. I was working in the documents within the project, but going “Grrr” because I couldn’t get rid of the ruler. However, it magically disappeared eventually, so happy days.
