Scrivener gets raves from everyone I know who's used it.

I wanted to send my CP a compilation of all my character sheets. I tried exporting the folder, but it saved every sheet as a separate document. Then I tried "compiling" -- and I X'd off every folder I didn't want included. But it still included every document within that folder in the compile. Apparently I needed to X them out individually.<br /><br />So, in the end, I still hold my opinion that Scrivener is great for brainstorming and storing all my ideas, but I would never use it to draft a manuscript.Dianne K.
