What are typesetting presets?
A typesetting preset is a single setting that controls layout and paragraph rules. Examples:- Paragraph spacing
- Line spacing
- First-line indent
- Chapter title style
- How spaces are handled
Where do I set it?
- Open the document.
- Click Settings in the header or in the navigation.
- In editor settings, under Typesetting (platform preset), choose a preset.
What happens when I apply one?
When you pick a typesetting preset:- Paragraph structure is adjusted to the preset
- Heading styles are unified
- Line spacing and margins follow the preset
- Manual layout tweaks that conflict can be normalized
When to use it
Before contest submission
- When the required format is clearly defined
- In the final pass before submitting
Before e-book export
- When you need one consistent format before EPUB
- When cleaning up chapter/section structure
Before publishing or posting
- Apply web or serial format
- Match a specific publisher’s or platform’s rules
What typesetting presets are for
Typesetting presets belong in the cleanup phase, not while drafting. Write freely first; apply a preset in the final step before submission.What to watch
- Typesetting presets standardize layout, not content.
- Text is unchanged; some spacing may be adjusted for the platform.
- After applying, skim the document once to confirm flow.
Summary
- Typesetting presets apply platform-style layout in one step.
- Set them in Settings → Editor → Typesetting preset.
- The whole document’s layout updates to the preset.
- Use them after writing, when preparing to submit.
