In Scrivener How Do I Change The Font For All Projects For Mac

Creating a Table in Scrivener I was notified by a faithful reader and friend that I’m due for a Scrivener tutorial, and the topic to be addressed is how to create a table. This all came about in a discussion about importing new templates into Scrivener. Denise, the above mentioned friend and reader, kept piping about how fast and easy it is to create tables in Scrivener. And she’s right; the one I created took me less than one minute. For the purpose of this tutorial I’ll focus on the tables that many writers create modeled after the one in Debra Dixon’s book, Goal, Motivation, Conflict: Go to Format=>Table=>Table.

Here’s how to change the global defaults for font size and line spacing in Scrivener for the Mac: 1. Set up the correct font, font size and line spacing in the scene (editor) you’re currently using. Go to Scrivener, and then Preferences. 3.Look along the top menu of the Preferences panel for the big A (formatting) and click it. Paragraph and character styles allow you to quickly change font characteristics (like font style, font size) for specific text elements (like headers, footnotes) in the whole document with just a few clicks.

A window will appear where you can set how many rows, columns that you’ll need for this specific table. The table that appears has a default of three columns and two rows with a black border, but this can be adjusted. For my Goal, Motivation, and Conflict table that is geared for my characters’ overall story, I’ve created one with four columns and six rows: As you can see my table’s borders are a light gray the one above is black, which is the default. If I want to change the color of the border or the line density, I can change it by highlighting the table and go to the Cell Border option found in the pop-up window. If I want to change the color in the cell background, highlight the cells and select in Cell Background “color fill,” click on the pane with the color (it’s white) and the color menu will pop-up.

To center and bold, just use the regular formatting options in the toolbar. Now the question is why do you want to create a table if you’re writing a novel? That’s for another post on the many organizational tools you can use in managing your characters, plot and subplots, and individual scenes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Creating a Filing Cabinet in Scrivener The one reason I chose to draft all my writing in Scrivener was so I could keep my projects better organized.

When I was using MS Word, I had numerous documents and no matter how careful I was labeling the file, I always managed to submit the wrong version of an article or I couldn’t find the recently revised document in my files. With Scrivener I like that I can have all my information—drafts, notes, and research—in one place, and that it’s easy to find.

Yet old habits tend to die hard. I’ve discovered that I now have too many Scrivener projects, especially for Julius. Because I use Scrivener for all my writing, I typically have a number of projects open, but that has become somewhat clunky and messy. For some time I’ve known that I had to streamline it, but wasn’t sure how to go about it until I came across a tweet of how social media guru. I was so impressed by how beautifully he organized all his writing projects that I thought I would give his method a shot.

At first I thought I would dedicate “The File Cabinet” to all my freelance writing projects and so I imported them all in, changed the icons (because you all know I like to make things look pretty). After I imported everything, I figured I would import the recent version of Julius and hope that all my research smoothly made the transition.

Happily, it did. So now I officially have a filing cabinet where I don’t have numerous Scrivener projects open.

Just one click and, BAM, it’s all in one project. Importing from one Scrivener project into another is simple and seamless. The only thing you need to do is go to File->Import->Scrivener Project. What gets imported is the file for the project along with the research and trash files. I ditched the latter two and set up my file cabinet to look like this ( click on the image to enlarge): I have Julius at the end next to the research file so I can quickly search through that material. I’ve also created another research folder for the other writing projects. And there you have it–an easy way to keep all your work organized! Markdown editor for windows.
