Page break for every line on Word export

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

Hi,

I’ve been happily compiling a project into a Microsoft Word 97-2004 document all morning, until for some reason my exports now contain a page break after every line - turning what was a 9 page document into 325 pages!

I’ve checked and double-checked my custom compile settings but can’t see why this might be happening, and other default compile settings work OK.

The compiled file is being opened in Word 2011 (on Mac OS X) and Word 2003 (on Windows) and both show the same problem, and even more strangely in Word 2003 there are large grey boxes displayed at the top of each page.

Anyone else seeing a similar problem?

OK, figured it out - it seems the problem is being caused by using the <$longdate> token on the bottom left footer (in Page Settings). Works OK when it’s on the bottom right.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The problem is caused by a single missing space character in the RTF output. I’ve just fixed this bug for 2.0.1.
All the best,
Keith
