A cousin and I have written a single-name family history covering over 200 years and running to 250 individuals and their lives, wives and kids. At the moment it is written in TimesNR on white background for printing and publishing in conventional book form.
The next stage is to 'print' to cd and ebook very cheaply for today's 21st.century descendants.
I have selected a backing style, font, font colour and sizes etc - BUT when I introduce them I immediately lose the left and right margins and the words overflow off screen. It seems to be a case of EITHER OR fancy presentation.
Does anyone know how to retain BOTH please?

click on the little arrows on the ruler at the top of the page. drag them around (with all the text selected/highlighted) and see if you can restore the margins.
HTH! |

thanks rusty - tried dragging them (and tabs) and margin size in page set-up - no good. Currently having to manually input spaces at the start of each line and manually pushing the last words down to the next line. This will not be fun over hundreds of pages!!

highlight all and click the "justify" button (3 horizontal lines of equal width)

''Although very old, our surname is most certainly not prolific. For example in the 1881 census for the whole of mainland Britain, there were only around fifteen hundred listed individuals using the name or the more common derivatives that we see today (see below). Indeed within todays much larger population of sixty million or so, we probably still number fewer than ten thousand! The name, like so many others, has been corrupted over the years and today we see many derivative forms of it''

All illiterate working class in the 19th.century and until the early 20th century - though there was a Bishop, a Lord Mayor of London and an MP with the name hundreds of years back. (No proven connection of course).

Nice one - it's a great hobby.
The oldest I have is a couple who married 16th.October 1662 in Holwell, Herts. Stephen Woodfield and Elizabeth Empey. Stephen was a farm-labourer and Elizabeth a 'collar-maker'. |

It's say so in the wholly bibbly. |

Adam and Eve are my oldest traceable relatives. |
