I have searched the forums for an answer and couldn’t find one. Sorry if this was answered elsewhere.
When I compile my novel in Word Document (docx) areas of my novel are having the right margin ignored. The right margin is off the page and I have to go into the docx file everytime and correct it manually.
The text appears normal in Scrivener - as in it is no different that the text paragraphs above and below the paragraphs that are having problems.
It could be that the width of your text editor window is narrower than the indent setting itself, so all lines are wrapping whether they have an indent or not.
At any rate, I believe it is mentioned in these threads, but to get your manuscript fixed as quickly as possible: try selecting these paragraphs and dragging the right-indent marker on the ruler as far right as it will go. It will kind of “snap back” a bit if it worked. Now the lines should act like the rest. There is more detailed info in the links.
