Occasionally, I would have a scrivening that shows several left stops at equal interval, and I would also see the Decimal displayed even though I did not place it there. In scrivenings like that I would also have a difficult time with the spacing between paragraphs as well as with using tabs where I want them.
What is a way to ‘neutralize’ and bring up my default paragraph formatting in these cases without changing the Styles or any texts that is in bold or italics or in color?
I admit that Tab Stops in Scrivener and in MS Word are utter mystery to me, and that the only thing I have done so far is to skim through the Scrivener Manual to get the terminology.
There shouldn’t be any difference here in scrivenings than in regular single document mode, since the text is the same in either case. What you definitely don’t want to do is select all the text and change the ruler, because that will make all of the selected text have the same ruler settings, and it’s unlikely you want that.
If you just want to remove all tab stops for a particular paragraph, you can select the paragraph and go to Format > Paragraph > Remove All Tab Stops.
Thank you, Keith. I wanted to make all files in which I have already written to have the same format. For some reason, currently, some files (scrivenings? not sure about the terminology) have many more stops and I am not sure where they came from. I will use your suggestion to work per paragraph.
