Instead of dragging the indent of dialogue lines every time by 1 inch, u can just use format painter option. Btw, is there any standard line spacing??

[@caprimacy323]

where's that located?

[@manasmaisnam606]

@@caprimacy323 under Home taskbar of MS word, you can see cut (scissor), copy (2 documents). Below these 2, therw is format painter witha sign of a flat brush.
You select the line/ paragraph of whose format (like indent, alignment etc.) you want to replicate to another line/ para. Then press the format painter icon.
Then go to destination sentence/ paragraph and just drag your mouse over it. All the formating of the source line/ paragraph will be copied.

Is there an extra wide margin on the title page as well?

my transcript is all the way to the right what should I do instead of kept on pressing enter to get it back?

Shouldn't parentheticals have a line of their own?

[@simontarantino]

Hello, i'm missing the page setup bit. My paper size doesn't have a clean 8.00inch, only 8.27. Is that relevant? the right indent on the dialog kind of suffers from that imo

[@vermontmike9800]
