I’m new to Srivener and a bit new to macOS. I’m half way through my project and Srivener has been a great help. I’m still learning how to use it.
The issue I’m facing is simply paragraph indents. I write using scenes within chapter folders. In some scene documents paragraphs seem to indent automatically. But in others there is no paragraph indent. I looked in settings->formatting and project settings – But, honestly, I don’t understand how paragraph indenting is controlled with these.
According to help there is an icon, perhaps optional? I can’t tell, that should allow control of indenting. Text is as follows:
Text Alignment: provides visual access to the four basic paragraph alignment options, otherwise serviced by the shortcuts in the For- mat ▸ Paragraph ▸ submenu, and on the main Format Bar (subsection 15.5.2).
However, 15.5.2 does not reference the icon described which is four horizontal lines with an arrow pointing right.
In a new document there is no paragraph indent. Other documents do have paragraph indents. On a new document I go to Format->Paragraph->Tabs and Indents and set First Line to .25. I return to the new document and paragraphs do not indent.
I am really confused.
