Scrivener Quick Tip – Changing Formatted Content
Scrivener is a powerful writing tool. I write about it weekly with tips and usage ideas. To read more of my posts click the Scrivener tag or category at the end of the page.
Here’s a quick-tip for Scrivener a Monday morning. Need to change types of text in your document? Are the type of quotes you’ve used inconsistent or incorrect? Well, there’s a rather quick fix to these kinds of issues.
Just click on Format, slide down to Convert and you’ll see a number of choices displayed on the resulting fly-out menu:
Highlight all of your document or the affected text to make the following changes:
Go from smart quotes to straight quotes after highlighting your document.
Do the opposite if you need smart quotes instead of straight ones.
Need to change case? Just use one of the first three commands.
Here’s a good one – do you have multiple spaces in your document but don’t want to change them one by one? Just use the Multiple Space to Space command.
Need to send some annotations, etc to meta-data or vice versa? Use the last four commands as appropriate.
As always before making mass changes to a document, use the Snapshot for an easy backup. That’s all for today. Look for another quick tip next Monday!
