Yes, Yossi is right, Vic-k: you do have WAY too much time on your hands!
Just imagine if all those energies were devoted to a worthwhile purpose, perhaps writing aids for Stephen Hawkins or Isaac Asimov!! (if their names are spelt wrong, you can correct me because I don’t have that sort of time available. So why the heck am I lingering here?
Bye!! 
Hmm … self doubt? One of the earliest symptoms of the effects of
Ahh well … c’est la vie … eh? 
But I’m back again after plundering another few hours trying to work my way through Scrivener’s multiple menus and seemingly irksome manner of trying to set up a project. But I won’t complain on here, lest I am banned and sent on my way. It shouldn’t be so different from Write it Now, but like anything, persistence . . .
Complain away. We can commiserate. The same folks that lurk in the bilge frequent the support sides as well. Some of us just stopped chiming in up there.
Scriv and write now are different. Just like MS Word and Pages are different. I don’t think one would expect pages and word to work the same. Given the extreme flexibility of scriv and write now (compared to pages/word) the impact of natural difference is much larger (complexity of UI and operational workflow is typically seen as a non-linear function of flexibility)(can anyone tell what I’m doing at work these days?). But that doesn’t really matter when you want to get stuff done, does it? At least it never really mattered to me.
The one thing that helped me (this was way back when the version numbers were smaller) was to use a template and then tweak that to make my own template. I think the out of the box templates would hit a large amount of what folks need. But I could be wrong. My world is pretty small and these days I’m too curmudgeonly to want to expand it too much.
Feel free to ask away on the support section or to blow off steam down here in the bilge. Either way we are all on the same ship.
The main and ultimate reason to why I use Scrivener is because of the ‘full-screen mode’. So far, no other app comes close to its perfection.
It’s the reason I bought Scrivener.
It’s the reason I bought, and continue to buy Apple products.
It’s the reason I’m on this forum.
It’s the secret to the universe.

Had to google translate that. Where else would I be? Well I’d probably be doing my homework in lieu of forum-ing my arse to kingdom come.
Quite right an’all! That’s worrit’s there for.
A belated Merry Christmas (hope you enjoyed it) ands a safe and happy New Year
