Cannot include part and chapter headings in compile - Windows

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows

I tried default settings, then read the support documents, then tried chatGPT, then tried 10 different variations on settings, but still cannot get it to include the Part and Chapter headings. The only thing I get is # between the sections.

The settings I tried so far:

  • Include in compile - check
  • labelled as headings, subheadings, sections - check
  • set meatadata as headings, subheadings, sections - check
    Of course saved it each time.

Same results each time.
Tried to compile for MS Word and also Open Office formats - same results.

What did I miss?

Have you assigned Section Layouts that include the heading text?

That seems to make the difference. In the Compile Overview, then choose a format and then scroll down to the bottom to assign the proper options to the Header, Chapter, Section. Its not how I’d like it, but I’ll try and play around with it. I had to manually set the Section Types for some of the various selected objects. But it seems to produce reliable results now.
