User Manual.

[Fitch]

I'm brand new to this, but It seems like the user manual might be out of date. For example, it refers to file>compile. I can't find that anyplace in the file menu.

 

Where is it or what replaces that?

 

Thanks

Hi Fitch,

 

Hmmm. There has never been a File > Compile menu option. Are you perhaps reading the Scrivener documentation?

Hi Steve,

 

Good catch. Boy is that embarrassing. I had Scrivener on my PC and stopped using it - the compiler was one many features I didn't like. The trial version is here in the Mac (which I have only had since last Monday). I don't know how I got the wrong manual. But I did.

 

My primary writing program on the PC for the last three years was WriteWay Pro - I liked it a lot but there is no Mac version. I may yet try it using Parallels.

 

I licensed Storyist to replace WriteWay on the Mac. I had Storyist on the iPad.

Hi Fitch,

 

No worries.

 

By the way, you can access the Storyist 3 documents at the following URLS:

 

Storyist 3 for Mac - http://storyist.com/mac/docs/

 

Storyist 3 for iOS - http://storyist.com/ios/docs/

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for the links.

 

FWIW: I figured out how I made that mistake. The story I was working on was imported from a Scrivener document that used the Scrivener Novel Format. The compiler 'stuff' I was confused by appeared in the Novel Format section that Scrivener appends to the front of the document.

Hi Fitch,

 

Ah! That explains it.
