Hi, I’m a Mac user writing in two different Scrivener documents. So far as I can tell, the text in both documents is set to the same specs — style, font, size, etc. The line spacing for both is 2.0. But as this screenshot shows, the document on the right seems to be interpreting “2.0” differently, creating the appearance of larger line spacing for some reason.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
They’re not the same. I don’t know where your cursor is in the image on the right, but on the left you have text selected in the note, and the format bar shows us formatting for the note paragraph, not the document text. Or at least, that’s what it looks like from here.
Hi, I took the cursor off the notes and placed it back into the main text and the document still reads “2.0.” (See new screenshot.) So there’s still some reason the two documents appear to be interpreting “2.0” differently. Any other thoughts?
That answers for the left hand side, and what I see already matched the format. On the right hand side, it doesn’t look right at all. Where is the cursor?
For the document on the right, the cursor was also in the main text.
Here’s a new screenshot where the cursor/highlight is more visible. Spacing still says 2.0.
Go to the Styles dropdown and select No Style. (It doesn’t matter that it already says that.)
Perfect - that was the problem. The “no style” needed to be reiterated.
Yes. Do you understand why, though?
No, please explain.
Damn, I just realized that the “no style” took the spacing down to 1.2 and that’s why the spacing looked correct. When I change it back to 2.0, the discrepancy comes back and it’s more spaced out than the document on the left.
There are a variety of ways it could come about. Did you ever change the default format? If so, existing “No Style” text wouldn’t change when the default changed, but new text could be affected … but not always.
Don’t know if you saw this, so I’m reposting under your latest…

They’re all in the same thread, so now I’m seeing it twice. When you “took the spacing down”, do you mean you changed the default format in Preferences?
I mean that when I chose “no style,” as you instructed, the line spacing went down from 2.0 to 1.2 for the doc on the right. That’s why I thought the spacing issue was fixed. But when I made it 2.0 again, to match the doc on the left, the spacing went back to being too large again. So it’s back to the same problem.
Still not being clear. How did you make it 2.0 again? In Preferences? We could straighten it out a lot faster in Zoom.
I clicked on the Zoom link, but I don’t know what to do from there. How do we start the Zoom session? Is there something I need to download?
To answer your question, I didn’t make it 2.0 in preferences. I just toggled the spacing menu/button in the upper right hand side of the text browser (or editor, or whatever it’s called).
Just download & install the Zoom app and set up a time to do it.
The format bar in the Editor.
Do I set up a meeting time through Zoom or through the first page you gave me a link for? If it’s through Zoom, what’s your Meeting ID or personal link name?
