Hi. I have 4 large Word documents that represent entry data from a forms system (Cognito). The Word docs have been formatted using styles to ensure that there is consistency across all 4. The 4 stages, as it were, need to be presented as a contiguous entity because it’s a marketing and ‘sales how to’.
2 issues as far as I can see. 1. Scrivener doesn’t like swallowing the docx file. Within the forms, there are interactive fields which can be answered by a customer. When it loads, there’s a mass of frames that could well be some form of nested table. If I move around in Scrivener it hangs forever. 2. My version, doesn’t want to load RTF files. It’ll load Plain Text but the array of images, PNGs, isn’t with that text.
Am I alone in this area or is there a quick fix lying i wait for me to find?
Details are a little sparse like size of each doc and whether when you imported in scrivener you split the document. Ideally each new document in scrivener should be 200-500 words. The program works best with small text chunks. Also consider splitting so table in word imported into one document might work better.
If you can give more info might help.
Each document is around 200+ pages. The size is caused by numerous fields which trap responses from customers. There’s also a swag of images that explain the use of tools and the user’s response to them.
These files are the output from the HTML site and download automatically in PDF and Word. However, it’d be good if I can stitch together the sections so that a book emerges which also helps to promote the business opportunity at the main site.
I’m keen to understand the maximum size for the import and then work out, perhaps, the relevant stages to be imported.
Look at file > import > split and import. You can import the 200 page document but use a symbol put in the document t you are importing like *** and suggest split at charts so chart is imported as one document. After imported can merge or split documents as you want.
