Joana - I think this was a fine way to answer. I apologize for unthinkingly providing a LibreOffice link, I hope I didn't offend too many people.

Thank you. I remember blurry that I used this in my first Volume, too. I seem to have forgotten. Which leads me to Brian Barker, thank you as well - this Offset logic makes sense, on hindsight. I suppose my thought process is just... not going the exact way this is supposed to work so I make the wrong turn each time. Less clicks = easier to remember. To Matthias: I accidently replied only to you, but generally, a nice guide I will keep in mind. Again what learned (sorry I had to) Since I don't use Chapters but hundreds of connected scenes, cutting apart is... not my goal. Either way thanks again, this helped me solve my issue. I will possibly forget this again but hopefully I will solve this situation as nicely next time as well. Good day to everybody.
