I don’t think that’s correct. I may be wrong, but I believe that “no style” is what most programs would call the “default” style – so it should be the combination of font, alignment, etc. that is set in the editor preferences window in Scrivener (which, rather confusingly imho, is completely separate from the Styles menu).
It is correct. “No style” literally does not store any style information with the associated text. Note that style information is not the same as formatting information.
As RDale pointed out, there are two places where “default” format settings are stored – one for Scrivener globally, the other a per-project setting – but there is no automatic mechanism to take existing text and apply those “default” formats. You can manually select un-styled text blocks and apply the default format, though – but it won’t be automatic, so if you transfer a project from one Scrivener instance to another, what happens to unstyled text is subject to things like “does the font in the text exist on the new machine?” and other such variables,
I am still confused about this. As it’s slightly different to the topic being discussed here, I posted a problem with the default font formatting elsewhere [url][Beta 18] Font problem with iOS version (Bug?) ], which explains why I think this doesn’t make sense.
