Hi, and welcome to the forums. The short answer is no, Scrivener doesn't use a tabbed interface; each project has to be opened in a separate window. The reason for this, as I understand it, is simply that a Scrivener project has so much potentially going on in it (with various sub-windows that can b...

RDale is right that the Author's Full Name setting is in the dialog accessed through Project menu > Meta-Data Settings > Project Properties. This means that it is per-project, not for the whole Scrivener program. I checked, and I can't find anything in the program Options that will do this. However,...

What did the large screen say, if anything?
Apart from that, shutting down the computer and restarting it might be the most immediate strategy.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. To set a default format (including indent) for all future documents, go to Tools menu > Options, then Editor. Make adjustments in the sample editing window there, using the various controls for margins, font, size, etc. Click OK, and all future documents will use that ...

OK, that's something I've never tried setting up (I'm a nonfiction writer, or so I tell myself). Is it something that could be handled in compile?

A fair question, Stuart. My question would be, is this limited to SciFi, and if so, why? Couldn't there be an interface "dialect" for, say, political conspiracy fiction (File = Top Secret, Edit = Encrypt, View = Eyes Only, etc.; Empty Trash = "Shred with Extreme Prejudice); or romance...

No biggie. It's a little comforting to know that even MM is capable of error, actually.

... here's the relevant bit from the Mac version for anyone interested: The web view displays archived web pages, which will in most cases be a preserved copy of the page at the time it was imported. Even if the page changes. By default, clicking on any links in the page will send the URL to your d...

Hm, it seems like Scrivener may not be the perfect tool for the job then. I was hoping it could be nice as a personal database & manuscript all-in-one but if I can't exclude certain keywords, it won't work for my needs. I could try to make a feature suggestion, but it seems like people have bee...

Please search the forums, or just scroll down the list of threads, to find one of the many other reports of this, and some suggestions. The background is that Scrivener had to change to a different license authentication server when the old one unexpectedly went out of business, and the new one has ...

Picky is good! I take your point, and at first blush I might have thought the same. However, Merriam Webster's Unabridged (requires a subscription) gives this as the first two definitions of "arbitrary": 1 : depending on choice or discretion; specifically : determinable by decision of a ju...

Can it be replicated? I.e., does the same thing happen if you cut the same block of text? If so, is there anything peculiar about that block, in terms of size or formatting or anything else? If not ... well, then it sounds just random, which is no fun at all. I'm not using the beta myself, but I do ...

I wonder if this is the same problem as the one reported here: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=61568.

Is this perhaps the same question as this one raised by an Icelandic user: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=61848? Not that this in any way answers your question!

I'm using Scrivener 1.96, been using Scrivener for about six months. It is great for writing but I'm guessing I'm not understanding bits. I see that people were expecting a 3.0 back in 2017; is the Mac version on a different numbering scheme? So I'm befuddled by a handful of things that the forum s...
