To get the corkboard background, go to Settings. From the toolbar choose Appearance. Then in the left sidebar, choose Corkboard. Once the corkboard options appear, choose the Colors tab. At the top there is an option for Corkboard background. One of the options in the dropdown is for Corkboard Texture.

Sorry, I haven’t heard of this happening before. You can check the Literature and Latte forums for Scrivener for Windows forum.literatureandlatte.com/c/scrivener/scrivener-for-windows/13 to see if anyone else has reported this issue. There are also Scrivener Facebook groups that you might find an answer in. But you might end up needing to contact Support. The support options are listed on this page: www.literatureandlatte.com/learn-and-support. Good luck!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you found this helpful.

You need to put all the Scrivener projects you want to share across devices into one folder in Dropbox, then you can set up sync between your iPhone and your Mac. It’s not as quick a sync as with Notes, though. And it doesn't happen automatically upon making a change. If you’re working on your iPhone, then you have to sync the file from the iPhone version of Scrivener to Dropbox. Then you need to sync from Dropbox to the Mac version of Scrivener. Here’s a How To video from the makers of Scrivener. www.literatureandlatte.com/learn-and-support/video-tutorials/scrivener-for-ios-sync-demonstration?os=iOS

Hi Samuel, I'm not aware of any issues with Scrivener and Windows 11. Scrivener 3 was released as being Windows 11 ready. You can always search the Literature and Latte forum for Scrivener for Windows if you have specific issues you're worried about. forum.literatureandlatte.com/c/scrivener/scrivener-for-windows/13

If all you're interested in is the poetry format, then Scrivener might not be worth it. Scrivener does have a free trial, if you want to see what else it can do.

I'm so sorry about the confusion! I've added numbers to the titles for this series and also added the numbered list of all videos in the series to each description.

@@VanessaKier Thanks!!!

You can save your compressed zip backup file to Google Drive. However, the makers of Scrivener warn against synching live projects through Google Drive. You can learn more here: scrivener.tenderapp.com/help/kb/cloud-syncing/using-scrivener-with-cloud-sync-services

@@VanessaKier thank you!

Hi Lynne. Scrivener’s compile feature isn’t set up to apply formatting to individual paragraphs within a document. If it’s visible in the binder, then Scrivener can assign a number to it. Text in the Editor window or the Inspector’s Synopsis don’t get assigned numbers. Even if you tell Scrivener to include the Synopsis, Notes, or Text in the compile, only the title level gets the number. Sorry. As for autocorrect, Scrivener does have this. It’s under Preferences/Corrections (Mac) or Tools/Options/Corrections (Win v1) or File/Options/Corrections/ and then look in both the Corrections and Spelling sections for the preferences you want (Win v3).

@@VanessaKier I don't care what the finished document looks like, as long as it's legible. And I really don't know why it's not printing out the synopsis. I honestly don't understand what you're saying. If I type it in, shouldn't it be able to print or export it? If it can't, what's the point of having it? And as a follow-up, how can I do it? Since I don't like Scrivener's word processor, I thought I'd use it to plan. But it doesn't seem to be possible. The compile feature is so complicated, when it doesn't need to be. It's as if the Scrivener people have never heard of WYSIWYG. I can't find autocorrect, only autotext in the place you suggested. If it's the "edit substitutions" feature, it's no use tucked away where it is. It needs to be in the toolbar to be any use. Most writers use autocorrect to substitute names, places etc for ease of typing and it's important to have it easily available. I just can't with this program any more. Too complicated, too unintuitive. It's like somebody said, "Let's make something as different to Word as we possibly can." I was a Photoshop user, but when it went to a subscription model, I moved to Gimp, and then PaintShopPro. None of these programs try to reinvent the wheel. There are differences, to be sure, but if you learn one of them, you can pick up another fairly easily. There are even guides on how to transition from one to another. How about one of those for Scrivener?

@@LynneConnolly Hi Lynne. I hear you. Compile can be incredibly frustrating. At this point, there’s nothing more I can do to help you within these UA-cam comments. If you’d be interested in a paid coaching session, where you can share your screen so I can see exactly what you’re doing, please let me know.

I have been stumped for hours trying to get my short story which I stupidly imported into scrivner to organize and add to it and all I want to do now is export it back to a plain old word file just like it was. But, no. I guess I will use notecards to plan and write in word because this has been a ridiculous waste of time. I could honestly have rewritten the whole thing in the time ive wasted. I hope you were able to solve your problem!

@@nightlady2001 It's incredibly frustrating. It's like stubborness, that Scrivener uses entirely different conventions to any other program. Other, similar programs, like Dabble, are at least usable out of the box. Anyway, I've found out how to outline in Scrivener, and then get that out of the program without spending hours copying and pasting, so that will do for me. I'm not using it for writing the project. I wish there was a straightforward corkboard program that I could use. You know, I switch them around, get the plot right and then save it in a nice, neat, numbered document. I learned Photoshop a long while ago, when I was doing graphics. It was hard, and it took a while. But it was totally worth it. Over the years I moved to Gimp, and then to PaintShopPro. They all work on the same principles, use the same way of working, so when you've learned one, you can use them all.

The iOS versions of Scrivener don’t have the same type of full toolbar as the Mac OS version. However, if you’re looking for the editing/formatting toolbar, that appears in iOS when you tap inside a document.

@@VanessaKier I actually found it. The only way I can describe it is that when using an attachable keyboard with the iPad, the second tool bar set from the bottom. If I press and hold any of those, the extended capabilities I’m looking for come up I’m using scrivener for resumes today. What I cannot figure out is how to remove page numbers from the bottom of my resume . Any ideas?

@@EarTipper Page numbers are set from within the Compile feature. If you’re on your iPad, go into Compile. Look for the Footer box and remove the <$p> code. That will get rid of the page numbers.

@@VanessaKier Bless you! ❤️🔥

I’m glad you found the video helpful. To get a note on top of a box in Scapple, go under Notes. Choose New Background Shape. You can then drag notes onto that shape. In the Inspector, you can also change the border and fill color of the background shape. That’s a good idea about doing a video. I’ve added this to my future videos list.

@@VanessaKier Thanks for the information.

Scrivener 3 installs as Scrivener3 into a different directory. It won't override Scrivener 1.

@@VanessaKier Thanks. I just might try it, but I like the version I have. The new one doesn't seem to add anything that I really want.

No. Sorry. I don't know of any way to change the flat appearance.

I think you're looking at the point in this video where I show the old version of Scrivener as a way to compare it to the new version. To see the new version, you need to go forward to minute 5:15.

@@VanessaKier Thank you for the answer. I see it now. It is just all so confusing with almost all videos available on UA-cam being from older versions. I guess I will have to wait some time for more Scrivener 3 for Windows videos to be posted.

@@watchdogCZ The great thing about Scrivener 3 for Windows is that now it's essentially the same as the Mac version. So you should be able to follow along without problem any video for Scrivener 3 for Mac, as long as the video isn't simply demonstrating the differences between the old Mac version and the new Mac version.

Thanks! So glad you found it useful.

Sorry, the templates are only for setting up the project at the start. You can’t apply a new one once you’ve started a project. You could start a new project with the novel with parts template, then drag and drop/copy and paste your current items into the new format. But, depending on how long your current project is, it’s probably not worth it to start a new project. The novel with parts template has only two parts folders already set up. One parts folder has two chapters as subfolders. The other parts folder has only one chapter. It’s probably faster to add a new folder to your current project, name it parts, then drag the associated chapters/scenes inside and repeat as often as necessary.
