The beta is a "release candidate," so it's feature complete and believed to be stable. A number of people have been using it as their main version for a while now. If you're a new user, I'd recommend starting with the beta. That will save you from having to climb the learning curve twice, ...

We've tried that. People just start new threads. Which other people respond to. And around we go.

Truly bizarre. If you're able to make it happen again, could you send us the project? Send it to our support address here:

Well, Scrivener hasn't changed. Have you contacted Microsoft support? Word shouldn't care what you do outside of its window.

I believe the search delay is an attempt to thwart spammers, who will link bomb a whole series of threads in quick succession. It will go away once you've posted enough to establish yourself as a real human. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Reviewing the tutorial first is good advice. Scrivener is n...

Backing up your settings before installing a new version is never a bad idea. Simply replacing Scrivener should not damage your project, which is stored separately. If it does, that's a bug and should be reported. That said, making an extra backup before any update is always good practice. Katherine

Firing the development team in the middle of a project is unlikely to improve the ultimate delivery time, as the new team then needs to come up to speed.

This is a function of the software used to review the external file. For example, DevonThink can create page links inside PDF files, but Preview can't.

When it's supported, the syntax is typically something like "?page=4" at the end of the file link.

I didn't realize completely what I wanted until we started talking about it. What I'm really seeking is a way to have the original document displayed next to the revised document, fashioned like the vertical split. On the left, original. On the right, the re-write. Once you split the editor, you ca...
