Hi everyone! Working on a short story on my typewriter and my margins keep drifting. Do you use guides or templates? Let’s share quick tips to keep our pages neat and tidy!
 
@Alan one tip from me is to listen for the bell. The margin bell usually rings several characters before you reach the right margin (typically 6-11 spaces).
Use this as a warning to complete your word or hyphenate properly, so you don't overtype or leave too much space
