I just used the documentation that came with the app. I found it to be more
than sufficient. It said to read it before getting started, so I took their
advice and did so. It took me about an hour or so to get through it, but it
was worth it.
Yes, I do add folders and files underneath. That is the whole idea behind
scribiner. Were you under the impression that this was a word processor?
It's not! I mean, it is in a sense, but not really. This is made more for
writers as myself who need software to help them compile their ideas for
their books, etc. Yes, I do use the inspector, but it would be entirely too
much to teach you everything about it over an e-mail. I really really do
think your best bet is going to be to open up that interactive getting
started guide that comes with the app, and just go through it at your own
pace, like I did.
Chris.

Hi Chris. I guess it's just navigating around the complex interface. Do
you use keyboard shortcuts to jump from the table to the text etc?
I think it's probably just different to use than a normal word processor.
If you can just explain what you put in the table. Do you add folders or
headings in the table and then scenes underneath?
How do you use it?
And do you use the inspector?
Is there any training material online that helped you?
I know there's the "Learn Scrivener fast" but it's very expensive and not
sure if the video's are worth "listening" too.
Thanks.

Can I help you with anything specifically?

Subject: Introduction and some questions
Hi all. My name is Dewald. I am from South Africa.
Jonathan Mosen recommended me to this list.
I am a piano technician and love to tinker with technology.
I got my first Mac in December of last year through a Black Friday deal
on Best Buy.
I was still in the US by that time.
Anyway ... I have some questions, because I'm still new to using it, but
yet, I have turned my back on Windows for good.
When I start up my Mac, or just waking it up from sleeping, it says 3
system dialogues".
And it will repeat it a couple of times.
Sometimes it's 1 system dialogue, or two or three system dialogues.
What is this?
About the notification center:
do I have to go in there from time to time and clean up, or is there a
way for it to do it automatically?
Whichever app I use, I don't know if it is my internet connection or
what, but like using something that doesn't even need a connection it
will say busy busy busy, ready. Very irritating.
They say you can press command-tab to switch between windows.
Mine, when i press the combination, it just makes a dunk sound.
So I don't know if it's only me, but, I have to press the combination,
then release, to give it time to focuss or something, and then I can
hold in the command key and press tab repeatedly to cycle between
windows.
And last for now, do any of you use Scrivener successfully? Is it
possible and can someone email me off-list to help.
Thank you very very much for any help.
I am so excited about my Mac and all the things I can do with it.
Just a short amuzing story.
I was living with two room mates in Vancouver WA, The one guy had an HP
printer, copier and scanner.
I had an HP pc trying to connect to this thing, wanting to print
something.
I spent hours trying to find the right driver, and no matter how I tried
to install it, it ended up giving me an error.
While I was wondering what I could do, the other guy came with his Mac,
connected it to the HP printer, and I promise you, a few seconds later,
the machine was spitting out paper.
I was dum-founded.
You would think: HP to HP ... easy, right?
That sold me to get a Mac. And also of course that it came with
Voiceover.
Amazing!
Thank you,
God bless,
Dewald.
