Sadly, I don’t believe Word offered a white text / blue background option since Office 2003 (ie, it’s not in 2007 or 2010).
…MY POOR EYES.
Aaahh…WordPerfect 5 for DOS. Brings back memories.
Really dating myself here, but I started out on WordPerfect 4.2. And before there was anything, any other way to connect to people in cyberspace, there was…CompuServe! What a kludgy UI—ugh!
Real writers use whatever hue their cathode ray tube emits, on black!
Well, I love the scrivenings view, but one thing I would love is to be able to turn off the headings based on the document titles, and just use the headings that I insert into my document. It would need to be an option, because it would depend on people actually putting headings into their doc.
That’s entirely possible; if you want to put headings in the text, just do that, and then turn off the titles in scrivenings, using the Format->Options menus.
Hey, thanks. Very useful.
Hey, gang, robertdguthrie’s post reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to ask.
Window, Zoom to Full Screen is great. I’ve been using it because I can’t figure out how to widen the text to the edge of the screen when using OS X’s Full Screen mode.
But how do you turn Zoom to Full Screen off? Window, Zoom to Full Screen is not a toggle.
Hold the Option key when you click the “+” maximize button of the traffic light controls in the upper left of the window. (Might be green, depending on your OS X theme.) To adjust the width of the text in the editor when in Full Screen, open the Editor tab of Scrivener > Preferences and either turn off using the fixed width while in Full Screen or adjust the number there so your fixed width is larger.
