What feature of Scrivener did you learn through problem-solving? Which feature is your most favorite? I’m about to work on a non-fiction picture book proposal and I believe I will learn even more about the features of Scrivener as I encounter problems or want things to look a certain way and then learn how to make it happen. There are so many features I haven’t even begun to explore. While I really enjoyed using Scrivener to work on my novel manuscript I am by no means a power user. So my whole problem was answered right in the main screen. And when I checked out the document, all of my chapter titles were right where they should be! Guess what!Īll of the chapter titles I wanted were highlighted in yellow! WOOO!!! I hit Compile. So I went through every chapter and created a text file, copy and pasted the words into the new file, then deleted the folder. Within each text file, I also selected the boxes on the far right that said “Include in Compile” and “Page Break Before.” Based on the intro screen info, I needed to create text files and move those text files up to the chapter level. So I thought that meant write in folders. Turns out I needed to not work in folders. (In the middle of researching this problem, I stumbled upon the answer to another problem! How to populate the project status bars!)įinally, after some continued struggle and putting the question away and then coming back to it, I re-read the block of text at the intro screen within Scrivener. I asked two smart, curious people who are good at problem-solving and debugging. ![]() My most recent problem was that the chapter titles for my novel manuscript weren’t appearing in the Compile document. I need to use the information in some way or else I find I have a problem and learn by finding the solution. I can’t really learn and retain lots and lots of information just by reading it one time. ![]() Scrivener is really hard to learn, isn’t it? Posted Octoby Elizabeth & filed under Big Ideas, Writing.
