Has anyone suggested setting your preferences file aside, dragging it from where it is in the file system to somewhere like Documents or Desktop-I’m a Mac-user so I don’t know the Windows terminology. Have you tried opening Scrivener with Shift held down to stop it opening last-opened file, and then creating a new project? If you can do that and it doesn’t freeze, try drag-dropping the binder documents from the one that is freezing into it, maybe doing them bit by bit. If there are any writers out there using Windows and you have the program but are still struggling with learning about Scrivener, then I highly recommend this book.To suggest the obvious (which I imagine you’ve already done), clear your browser cache (important), re-download a new copy, uninstall the existing one and install the new download. I am so glad this book popped up on recommended for you on Amazon. I don't even know how I stumbled upon this little gem, it's not even 2oo pages and the author has been teaching me with pictures added so I can see just what I have been missing, and also how powerful this software is. Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but the commands between windows and mac differ. Trying to learn this program's bells and whistles have been a journey, sure there is YouTube but the rabbit holes are endless and again most of the videos were for Mac users. So now onto the review.Īs someone who is about to venture into the foray of indie publishing, it was important for me to find a really good book on using the writing program "Scrivener" which I purchased. Now before we dive in I had starts and stops in reading the book, it wasn't boring but because I was in different headspaces and I had other things that needed my attention as well. I always see books for Mac but few books for windows. Gahhhh I had to read this book slowly plus how cool that there is Scrivener 3 manual for Windows users like myself. It is fast : if you don’t want to read the lengthier chapters, there is a “To sum up” section at the end of most chapters, where you can just follow the basic steps. Alternatively, you can jump right into the section that interests you and follow the instructions from there. You can either start from Chapter 1 and follow the guide which explains all the core functionality of Scrivener (and a lot of extras). It is efficient : this book can be used in two different ways. This visual guide contains screenshots and follows the Simple, Efficient, Fast (SEF) It is simple : it is written in simple, easy-to-follow language, complete with screenshots when extra clarification is needed. This book is ideally designed for the novice user but also contains plenty of information on more advanced features to help writers fine-tune their writing. I believe I have used all these diverse (but relevant!) fields to make this guide as user-friendly as possible, using methods that will help you understand Scrivener’s features in context with examples where appropriate. I am also an active teacher and academic researcher, and one of my hobbies is being a productivity writer. I am an avid writer of fiction and poetry and a literary reviewer with experience in book publishing. By using Scrivener, not only will you manage every single detail of your writing process and have a better outcome, but you will also save precious time as a writer!
