I found it. Thanks MimeticMouton. I was looking for something with “Scrivener” in the title, which is why I couldn’t find it. I put a copy in the “My Documents” folder and renamed it as “Scrivener UserManual-Windows.pdf”
@Lee, in light of my blindness in searching for this manual, you might consider renaming it something similar to what I renamed it: having “Scrivener” in the title does make it easier for people like me (who need a seeing-eye dog to find what we are looking for) to find 
Glad you found it!
Ultimately it should be packaged with the application itself and available via the Help menu, so you won’t really need to go hunting it up on your computer. But the PDFs (for Mac and Windows) will be available for direct download from the site, too, so maybe throwing Scrivener in the name there would help.
Not a bad idea for the downloads, I’ve added it to my list. But I think in the future, most people will be interfacing with the manual via the Help menu. In fact that only reason it wasn’t integrated this time around was because it came out too late to be included.

That’s the idea. For educational material there will be:
[*] The video tutorials (in time)
I know this will be extra work, but would it be possible/feasible for the videos to include, either subtitles or, at least, concise balloon points.
I found the tutorial video useful, but have not been able to guess all of what is happening when the cursors stops and hovers for a moment.
Do you not have sound at all in the videos?
On page 52 (and elsewhere), the manual says: “Using the
ProjectMeta-Data Settings… ( – ,) you can set up custom names for both the label and
status, and the interface will adjust accordingly, no longer referring to them as…”
I’m using 021, and I have no option under: Project for “Meta-Data Settings” nor can I find meta-data settings anywhere in the menus or options. Am I overlooking something or has this not yet been added? Did I miss a discussion about this somewhere?
This is a transitional problem. There is not a menu item for that configuration window yet, but there will be in the indicated location. To get there right now, you have to access one of the Status or Label drop-downs and select “Edit…” at the bottom of the list. If you’ve never done that before, try opening the Inspector on an item to set its meta-data, or just right-click on an item in the binder, outliner, or corkboard views to access the contextual menu entries for Label and Status.
Cool. Glad I’m not loosing it. 
Forgive me for pointing the obvious … 
What good is sound if the ear cannot hear it … 
Point well made. I’ll pass that along to the video guy and see if we can do something about it.
I had a time trying to open my existing projects in this latest Beta (023). While trying to solve the problem, I referred to the tutorial and the manual: neither one has a segment on how to open an existing project. (see my post in the “13th APRIL - LEE’S UPDATE - BETA 023 RELEASED”)
I know it seems as if this is just common sense, but hey, I was tired. That, coupled with the fact that all the files in all the .scriv folders that I need to click on to open any project are named “project”, makes me think it is a good idea to include a section on the basic-basics of how to save, open, specify where Scrivener saves by default, etc.
Just a thought, Lunarclipper.
See §6.4 Opening Existing Projects (pg. 32). Does this not cover what you were looking for?
Hello!
Just checking in to see if you are going to release a new version of the reference documentation any time soon. Wanted to volunteer and read the whole thing. Since I hate reading over 50 pages on screen, I wanted to print it out, and I didn’t want to print it out if you were sending a new edition soon.
take care,
Yes, there will be a new edition soon; save your ink.
Cool. Let me know. I have been lax in my beta duties because I have been so busy, so I thought this could be the best way I could help.
