[Using styles in Storyist and Word]

Thank you Marguerite. Very helpful.

And more, if it's OK... -- how can I keep different versions of a manuscript? Should I just count on backups? Or do I create another manuscript with, lets say, date in the title?

 

And is there a way to open corresponding sections of both manuscripts to compare (dividing the screen)?

 

Any good suggestions/tips/workflow how you guys are managing different versions?

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

And moore questions (may be one day I"ll become an expert, but not yet. Not for a while...):

 

When I import a file, do I' have to apply formatting to every section, section separator and chapter or short story header manually? Or is there a better way to apply styles to the whole manuscript?

 

And is there a shortcut to create section breaks? Like a keyboard shortcut to do the following : carriage return + enter # + apply section break style to # (I.e. center)

 

Thanks.

Are the styles being saved only within project?

When I delete a project, all the styles I created disappear. Or am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to save styles across the application?

(I am writing short stories, and it should be the same format for all..._)
