TL;DR Resolved - not a Scrivener issue, not related to “:” or includes, but probably to "."s in the output filename with the Microsoft Office docx converter
Thanks. I’ve opened and compiled that successfully and confirmed that if it compiles, it compiles correctly.
The bug, is – I suspect – in the Microsoft Office converter.
It will compile to temp 2 (1 5 SPACE).docx , it will not compile to temp 2 (1.5 SPACE).docx – which has a “.” in the filename before the extension, creating two “.” in the path. (I was naming the file to remind me to increase line spacing to 1.5 times for a submission.)
If the converter is changed back to Aspose, then compilation to temp 2 (1.5 SPACE).docx is also successful.
So I’ll use the Aspose converter.
Just wish I could remember why I switched to Microsoft Office… there was a reason!
UPDATE: I used the Microsoft Office converter so the document was compiled to UK English… with the Aspose converter it was always US English. See this question
