Hello. If this is in the wrong place organizationally,please relocate it or whatever. I’m not sure if my questions cross any organizational borders.
I like WordPerfect, hate Word, and have grown to be a fan of Scrivener. I use Scrivener in iOS, and WordPerfect in Windows 10. My question is, through the revamped complie process, can you easily send a project to a WordPerfect environment via Import/export/complie? Can you easily,easily, seamlessly import a WordPerfect doc from a Windows environment to the Mac based Scrivener 3?
I’m trying to find a work-around between the Windows Scrivener to Scrivener 3 Mac one-way Street. Any insight you have is most welcome.
We do not support the WordPerfect format directly. RTF is Scrivener’s native format, and is probably the best choice.
For the specific question of working between Windows Scrivener and Mac Scrivener 3, though, a better solution would be Scrivener 3’s File -> Export -> As Scrivener 2 Project command, though. Windows Scrivener 1.9 uses the Mac Scrivener 2.8 format.
Here are my experiences, rather dated but the ultimate solution of using Nisus to convert WP to RTF still applies; dfay.fastmail.fm/wordperfect/
I still keep a virtual machine with WIN 98 and WP8 , and DosBox with WP 6.1 around on my Mac, but I haven’t needed them in years because Nisus’ import has improved considerably.
iOS Scrivener can use either the Scrivener 2 or the Scrivener 3 project format (though it can’t convert between them). It works fine with Win Scrivener 1.9.
