Scrivener -- would like input from people who are actually using it.
I love the beta version! Thanks nadin b.

Just some questions for those who are using it to write novels. I haven't compiled anything yet so can you tell me if pagination is automatic? Also, how does it decide on the header? Shouldn't every page have the name of the author and first word from the title?

As for the title/cover page, am I suppose to type over the template, or is there a place to type that information where it gets merged with the template codes?

Thanks.

1. When yuo compile it, it will ask you what format
rtf for example. That is when it will do the pagination... I always shoot for words, not pages. Standard novel in the US is 80K words or so... that is your standard trade.

I need to go download the next version.

Welcome to the beta testing

I must say for ME, it has mostly been running flawlessly... might be size of file, and version of windows. I am not sure.

(I can also put it on thumb drive if need be and move to mac machine)
