OMG I assumed that was just a legacy carryover I was carrying forward. Surprised Apple is still distributing that little app. Fun. Can't quite imagine cluttering up my screen that way anymore, but hey for a dedicated use, maybe. Launched the app just now after probably decades -- to find a disturbin...

Scrivener on iOS has a Dropbox sync functionality built into it and it does not offer other options. I don't know about sync.com, but some sync services screw up scrivener projects, because they handle package files poorly (Scriv projects are not single files as they appear to be on macs, but packag...

Anywhere you put <$wc> in your manuscript it will be replaced with the word count on compile.

Ah, I see that what I was saying there is probably not applicable to your desired output file format. So, I've got nothing.

I have not done what you wish to do, but here are some thoughts that seem relevant... You can create a customized copy of the script compile format of your choice and there are two areas of the compile settings which would seem of interest: 1) For a given section type, you can specify that (in addit...

Good to hear you worked something out!

Before you do anything else, make a safety copy of that project!

A confusion has slipped into this exchange and put the two of you at cross purposes. I believe Mr. X agrees that ‘yours’ is a pronoun. What he was saying is not a pronoun is ‘your’. Thanks, Von, for your extensive post. My central point stands: X distinguished between the cases of ‘your’ and ‘yours...

A confusion has slipped into this exchange and put the two of you at cross purposes. I believe Mr. X agrees that ‘yours’ is a pronoun. What he was saying is not a pronoun is ‘your’. Mr X’s original assertion: Apple calls them determiners because they are determiners, not pronouns. They occupy the sa...

Here are two pieces of advice which might sort something out for you: 1) If you are using the Sync to External Folder function like the original poster did, stop. That is not what that function is for. To get Dropbox to sync a Scriv project to the cloud, all you need to do is put the Scrivener proje...

Steady on. You can't slaughter our beloved leader for a mere recipe. It's just not cricket. Mere recipe? Mere recipe?!! I should think some of the ingredients might take offence to that. Having spoken to several of your key ingredients, they feel it would be best for you to concentrate on your marv...

Scrivener's auto-complete function works for me with such words. The only trick in such cases is that you must hit a second letter to get any pop-up suggestions. I wonder if you might instead be speaking about the auto-spell-correction function built into Mac OS? (In which, case, of course, Scrivene...

If you open up Scrivener preferences and look in the Backup area, you will see a link/button that will take you to the folder where your backups are being stored.

Having followed the forums for some years now, I would say the most common explanation for experiences like yours is that the user has inadvertently opened a different copy of their project than they have been working in. So, my first question is /how/ did you open your project? Did you pick somethi...

Ah yes. I forgot about the need to do the equivalent of removing the pre and post newlines!
