Hi guys!
I have some sentences that go the end of a page and then end up below the start of the sentence. How can I get them to all line up together so that the continued sentence on the next line is at the same space as the line above it?
Thank you!
The experts here can help you more easily if you gave a lot more information, e.g. what is the compile target? what changes did you make to the compile target setting (if you used a Scrivener-supplied one)? perhaps a screen shot of the offending output and source (showing invisible characters so we can distinguish between Pilcrows and New Lines), using any styles that you defined?
Sorry it won’t let me attach media here.
It just looks like the first line is indented but I wanted to turn intent off on all of my binder pages

Have you turned on the invisible characters to check if you have paragraphs (Pilcrows) or new line characters where you didn’t intend?
Meantime, I asked a number of other questions. With some more details, experts here may be able to help.
One thing we don’t know from what’s been said so far is whether you are trying to change how paragraphs look in the Scrivener Editor or whether you are trying to set how paragraphs look when compiled to output.
If you are just trying to get no first-line indent in the Editor, there is a dohicky on the format bar for adjusting line height and such, pop that up and pick More… and you’ll get a dialog where you can adjust the indent of a paragraph. But of course, you probably want to set your defauukt paragraph to no indent, so new paragraphs don’t have an indent either. You can set a default paragraph for Scrivener in general in Scriv preferences (I think you can also do this just for a particular project using Project Settings). When you get there in the prefs you will see a sample paragraph to tweak the look of and there will be above it a familiar looking format bar with the same doohicky button on it that was mentioned above. If you change your default paragraph look, note the paragraphs yu’ve already typed will not change. But you can select them and use a menu item (on Format menu, if memory serves) to convert to paragraphs to the new default).
If you are dealing with unwanted first-line indents that are appearing after and being controlled by Compile, then that is another matter. You will have to get into your compile settings and tweak a certain thing in there.
It’s Documents → Convert → Text to Default Formatting… if my memory serves!

Hi!
I’m talking about trying to remove the indents from the compile. I don’t know which setting to tweak to do this!

Same questions.
Usually, the Settings tab in tbe Section Layout tab of the Compile Format Designer has a Radiobutton set that determines whether first scentences after page breaks or empty lines are indented.
That will handle first paragraph indent exceptions, but I thought the zoO was trying to shape the body paragraphs generally so they compile without first line indent. (Presumably they are using space between paragraphs instead as their visual indication of paragraph break.) Or maybe I misunderstood!
Oh, I see. Then the first line indent marker in the Formatting editor should be set flush left, right?
