Setting Options--a question on spacing (leading, in my world)

Hi,
I’m using the latest version of Scrivener for Windows. (and what would I do without it?!)
I’m a poet that writes a poem every day, so I have over 1100. Under Options/Editing/Formatting, I set the spacing for my poems at 1.2x and applied it. However, in my “text” entries, the poems are always 1.0x and then I have to change it.
Why is this setting not responding globally?
thank you for your responses,
Skye
