I am having a challenge with something and I don’t know if it has already been addressed or not. It seems such a simple idea that I must be missing how Scrivener does it.
I am working on a document that has 26,000 words. I am continuing to pare down what I am trying to say so I will search for things I know I have already said somewhere else in the document and bring that into the present section.
I am very much enjoying how Scrivener allows me to option click in the Binder and select non sequential blocks of text. I do this quite a bit to ensure that I am not repeating myself and the flow of my argument remains logical (this is a legal case).
The challenge I am seeing is that, after I search using the upper middle search window and find the section I wanted and copy the text I wanted to find, there appears to be no simple way to kill the search and return to where I was when I started the search.
The same sections are still highlighted in the Binder, but when I kill the search, the Scrivener page goes blank and remains blank. The only way to return to where I was before the search that I can see is to start reselecting the Binder selections that I had the last time.
I must be missing something here as this is terribly inefficient. Isn’t there a back button, or a way to refresh the binder selection(s) to populate the Scrivener main window as it was before the search occurred?
Thanks.
