Okay, so I'm on my trial, and I think I'll like Scrivener. Eventually. I'll be sure to buy through AW.
But first, I have to be able to set margins. I watched the videos, and I tried to do something called page layout view, only to find that it doesn't exist on my menu. Rrrrr.
I need to format this thing so it'll fit on a 5.06 by 7.81 inch page (size I've chosen for CreateSpace).
I can't even find the margins to fiddle with them.
Help, please.
ETA: Also, how do I add headers and footers? Page numbers. Argh.
ETA2: Okay, I can do an end-run on all this stuff by fixing my doc in Word first.
But.
When I import my novel, Scrivener decided I needed one inch indents on my paragraphs instead of the typical half inch I had in Word. I can't end-run this. How on earth do I manage graf indents?
ETA3: *sighs* Apparently, I can only do the end-run on headers in Word for the first story. When I try to insert a section break so I can have new headers for the next story, it starts the numbering over, even when I link it to the previous section. This is hair-pulling frustration.
