smac1314 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi, I set my writing environment to reflect what I hope to see on the printed page and as a result I'm getting a couple of strange problems. 1) If I set my page for a custom size, the text disappears after Chapter 1. I can see that the chapters and sections still exist but I can't see the text on the page. 2) Every time I start the program in the morning I have to edit my styles to show the correct line spacing. They are minor if frustrating issues. I'm on Mountain Lion on a 2012 Macbook Pro. Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi smac, Welcome to the forums. 1) If I set my page for a custom size, the text disappears after Chapter 1. I can see that the chapters and sections still exist but I can't see the text on the page. Could you let me know what size/parameters you're using along with which version of Mountain Lion you're running? I've attempted to reproduce your results on 10.8.2 with Storyist 2.4.2 using the default Novel template with a custom page size of 5 x 7. So far no luck: 2) Every time I start the program in the morning I have to edit my styles to show the correct line spacing. Version 2.4.3 (currently in testing) fixes a line spacing issue. I'll PM you a link to the beta and you can see if this resolves your problem. If not, we can investigate further. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdave Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hello, I am also having to redo all my styles each time I restart storyist...it is very frustrating, I have a 40,000 word ebook and it takes a lot of time each day to fix this, can you send me the link to beta also ? Also I have a problem, that when I have multiple styles set, so for example, I have a heading, then I have a style for an intro quote, and then a first paragraph style with no indent, and then a body text style with indent for remaining paragraphs until next header is encountered, but when I export I only get the body text style with all paragraphs indented in the resulting .mobi or epub formats. When I look in Storyist though, the styling is correct. So there is something wrong with the export I think. This kind of a major issue as I have a deadline approaching and do not know how to solve this problem. David, Helsinki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdave Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi, also I am running Storyist 2.4.2 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and I am trying to use 24pt line spacing, first line paragraph indenting of 1.27 and each time I close storyist (first I always save my storyist files) then I lose all my styling settings... I have created separate styles for 1stPara for first paragraph no indenting, custom Body Text (with line indent set to 1.27 on first line of para) and then I have some custom header font sizes also... and these all get lost each time I save and close my storyist file. I hope you can help... steer me in right direction. I think that storyist is a good tool, but it need to be able to save those styles... Cheers, David in Helsinki. Hi smac, Welcome to the forums.

Will do.

This kind of a major issue as I have a deadline approaching and do not know how to solve this problem. It's not a problem with the export. Storyist generates ePub and Kindle files that are compatible with a wide range of readers, some of which aren't capable of supporting all of the formatting that Storyist supports on your computer. I see that you started a separate thread for that (thanks), so let's continue the discussion there. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
