Hallo,
this is my first technical posting. For a German speaking person it is not always easy to understand the SCR Manual. They use different terms for the technical explanations.
It’s the following effect that I observe since two weeks, since I’m preparing a PDF compiling for paper print. The idea behind is, to change the appearance of a paragraph in the whole project with one click into the style sheet list (up on the left side of the lineal).
In the editor I have defined 2 different “style sheets”. Nr. 1 I named: “Floating”, and the other “Versalien” (big characters). Both style sheets have the same structure and properties (font, font size, line spacing, color ). When I click in both paragraphs, from then on they look absolute similar. That’s I great invention in SCR. But if I click on the first paragraph and convey him the property “Versalien”, the pilcrow after this paragraph is pushed down a little bit in the direction of the second paragraph. So, the empty line between the 2 paragraphs has shifted. This gives an awkward appearance to the layout of the whole page.
This is a very strange behavior. I’m sitting since several days here trying to change that. But to no avail. My wife, who is very good with computers, can’t solve the problem.
Has anyone a clue what this is all about?

The settings under Format → Absatz → Tabulatoren und Einrückungen... are also identical? Paragraph spacing and stuff.
It’s a pity that I can’t use optical information to explain what really happens.
I’ve extracted 2 shots of the problem. Perhaps I can use it here as a reference.
They are photographed scenes from the screen.
Eihhh. It works. Thanks Santa.

… second part.
You should add at the end of the Screenshots just before the Unquote mark a point (full stop) and then “jpeg”. That’s the original format of this photos.
Perhaps it works on your computers.
AT November_Sierra: I’ve checked your suggestions. No, everything seems ok.

You mean the weird spacing after “DEN GUTEN SCHÖNEN WAREN”?
Could be a couple of things. Did you type this line or paste it from somewhere else?
One difference I see is the first one is a paragraph style, the second one a paragraph + character style. What happens if you define “VERSALIEN NEU” as pure paragraph style?
November_Sierra,
I can see, that some of my paragraph styles (that I have programmed myself) have in their name (in the list of choices only the “pilcrow sign” and then beside a definition (e.g.: Pilcrow FLIESSTEXT). But others have after the pilcrow a little “a” with an underline - and then comes the definition (e.g.: VERSALIEN NEU). I have no clue what that means, and how to change it. It’s difficult to search for the underlined “a” in the manual. Don’t know the right term for that.

(But I’m trying to find the solution since at least since one hour today)
Have a look at Section 17 (“Styles and Stylesheets”) to get familiar with the terminology and how to create (17.3.2 ) or redefine (17.3.3) character / paragraph Styles.
In this instance, you probably just want Formatting: Save paragraph style.
Redefine both Styles accordingly. Report back what happens or if you get stuck.
@November_Sierra:
thanks for the hint. I will evaluate this trail and then report the results.
