My Kingdom for an Indent

For a consistent indent that is. I am in the process of converting one of my novels to an e-book (yes, you read that right, the guy that said "never"), and I have come across yet one more reason to hate Microsoft Word.

Ask any designer (I should know, I am one) which program they hate the most. They will yell out "Word" like they were on the mean streets of Detroit circa 19-i forget. Anyway, the program is crap. And the way it messes with formatting is enough to drive writers and non-writers to drink. Hell, just about anyone, nuns, sheep, holograms (okay, getting trippy).

I digress.

Often.

I have waxed eloquent about the best writing program out there (Scrivener), and now it turns out that they are also awesome for doing e-book conversions. The only problem is this novel was created in the dreaded Crap, oh sorry, I mean, Word. And I have got indent mania going on. Maybe I am making too much of it, but I am pretty sure any reader with two good eyes will notice the single, double and non-indent features in my novel. Sure, they might think I am being one of those experimental-meta writers. (I threw in "meta" just to show my lit hipness).

But more likely they will say, "What is this crap?" And they won't mean Microsoft.

So onward. Slowly I am figuring out how to remove the nasty Gatesian indent rules, and swap them for cleaner, purer Scrivener indents.

I know for damn sure which program I will be using to start the next one.
