hello,
I just purchased version 20, previous was 17.
Margins and Paddings do not exist in Styles in ver 20
This is in my previous version (17)
https://prnt.sc/4owB0_rliEWI
It does not exist in 20 version
https://prnt.sc/UjNTqLFc1CL3
Now my sites texts opened in version 20 is a mess.
I wonder why it was removed? Its very important for styling texts.
Thanks

If it no longer exists, then I have to go through all the texts objects and manually give them 10 left-10 right margins, in both desktop and mobile layouts
it will be huge work.
Is there a way to apply margin 10 left - 10 right to all texts?
It makes no sense to have margin/padding removed in Styles manager, honestly. It makes manual work more when adding new texts.
I use margins in order to make texts put well in desktop or mobile sides, not stick to the sides, which is bad to eyes of readers.

The functionality has not been removed. The options are is hidden because many users where using it the wrong way.
You can unhide the options by adding the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pablo Software Solutions\WYSIWYG Web Builder 20\Settings\AdvancedStyles
DWORD, value 1
Note that this only affect the user interface. The margin are always applied to the style whether they are hidden or not.
Also, in my opinion you should add the margin and padding to the container of the text, not the text (characters) itself.

You mean if my texts are within a Flex Grid, I add margins to the Flex Grid?
Thanks!

No, add the margin to the text object (= container), instead of the text itself (=content).

I am sorry, but are you saying that Padding for text objects is not automaticly part of V. 20? Padding and Margin are 2 different things and have 2 different uses. Thank you for a clarification.

Correct.. When using padding it is applied to the (space) inside of the object/container
Whereas margin is applied to the outside (space) of the object/container

Yes, that is true but my question is: is Padding for text objects no longer automaticaly part of V.20?
This post and responces seems to say this.
I have no wish to go messing with registry.
Thank you.

@Beth,
If I understand correctly, yes it was removed because adding the padding in the style manager was adding padding to the text rather than the container which is not correct so it was hidden for this reason.
Outside of doing what Pablo suggested, you will need to go to the text objects themselves and add the padding/margin you need. If hold the shift key when applying the padding/margin, it will add this in each of the breakpoints for that object.

Thanks for that answer.
I do not use the style manager, I use a shortcut key (F3) - or right click - that shows the object properties -> -> -> padding.
Is that gone from V.20? I need to know this before I upgrade.
Thank you.

Your first image you posted looks like its a pic from the style manager which is why I mentioned it. You can still right click on an object and add padding or margin.

Thank you.
That was not me who started this thread, I only found it and needed to clarify for myself.
The original poster and the answers worried me, but now all is well.
Thank you for your quick attentions.
