Thank you both for the discussion. I am working on chapter three of a doctoral dissertation and thought Scrivener would help. Of course, I must have the formatting exactly right.
I read “Default Formatting” in the “Tips” section and thought I could simply paste a page or pages and have Scrivener adapt it as the default formatting. Of course, as soon as I paste it, my formatting disappears.
Apparently, I won’t be able to write then export a finished work.
Unless someone has a recommendation, I will have to use Scrivener to organize and compile, then copy/paste into word in order to format.
Sounds like Evernote would work just as well.
Formatting is such a big deal in writing, I am really surprised such a “powerful” program doesn’t make it easier.
Thanks!
