Hi.
In the editor click in one of your paragraphs of different “margins” and then in the other while looking, in your formatting bar at the top/middle, at the styles selector.
Is there a difference between the two? (Does one have a style and the other not. Or each a style but different.)
If they are the same, then click in your bold header/question that’s in between.
Again, look at the style selector.
Pretty sure the formatting with the wider “margins” (narrower text) comes from it, cascading down.
Did you use a line-break instead of a carriage return after your bold question, so that it remains right before (no space) the following paragraph?
If so, you should use a style for it instead – your bold question(s). Without the space-after you have set to your normal paragraphs in the default formatting : Options/Editing/Formatting.
You can see the indents (“margins”) of your bold question by having your cursor in it, then Format/Paragraph/Tabs and Indents, the first three values.
The space after is in Format/Paragraph/Line and Paragraph spacing.
If you don’t use a style, you’ll lose the the formatting of your “questions” at compile. (I mean the font size that looks to be bigger. – It should remain bold, though.)
Otherwise, if it is only bold, to some extent you could just not care, as compile will set it all the same in the end. (Assuming there is no style(s) involved. … And that your screenshots are of the editor, not post-compile.)
. . . . . . . .
P.S. I keep putting “margins” between quote marks because they are not margins.
Margins are a value relative to the outside border/limit. A sheet of paper, for example. “How far from the edge”.
In Scrivener, there is no right edge. Everything is relative to the left side only.
And, Scrivener not being WYSIWYG, the editor (unless in page view) does not represent a sheet.
So, there are no margins. Only indents. Left indent, right limit relative to the left side – how far from the left side is the text allowed to go before wrapping.
