![]() ![]() The main difference in the document between Header and Heading 1 is that Heading 1 has a list numbering effect (currently, Heading 1 is “Chapter X:” you can change this by modifying the style). In the Table of Contents by default, anything assigned a style of Header will appear as if it were Heading 1. Font Size 18: This will assign style Header to the paragraph.Any font that is font size 13, 14, 16 or 18 will be mapped to the four styles according to the below: The macro assumes your core text will not be any larger than 12 point font.I attach the macro to a button on the toolbar. When you open up the scrivener-formatter document it should warn you that has a macro in it – well that’s fine check out the macro (source code is included) to be sure if you like.Open up the scrivener-formatter document in Word, and copy -and-paste (I know, but I did you tell you it’s still rough) your compiled RTF into the scrivener-formatter document.To use, compile your Scrivener document to RTF and open it up in Word (if you are using EndNote, format the paper to add the citations in).So modifying Heading 1 to be Arial rather than Times New Roman is done the same as it always has been – and when you save this document it will be the new style it applies for Heading 1. ![]() They are fairly standard thesis-style formats at the moment – but if you download this document, and modify the styles, those styles will stick with the document. There are five styles in this document (Heading 1, 2, 3 & 4, as well as Header).It’s a single document (download scrivener-formatter.docm using this finely crafted link) that should run in Word for Mac 2011 (presumably, Word 2007 or later – but if you’re on Windows, I don’t know that you’d be likely to be on Scrivener – but maybe you are).It’s not polished, and no doubt it’s buggy – so although I am sharing it in this post, please don’t use it with the only copy of your thesis!!! So where’s all this going? Today I wrote a Word visual basic macro that converts an RTF version of the document to a Word version with styles. If you do that, your headings will quickly be able to be moved to become styles. Well I had seen where people suggested you use use a specific font size in your Scrivener document for headings and then search and replace using styles in Word. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to generate formats up quickly? Take your Scrivener document and publish it to Word, and then format it quickly to enable styles and such, in about 30 seconds? You will want to make the change in your master, and in the formatted version of the document. Particularly when you format the document up in Word, and then move sub-section 1.1 to become 1.3, that can wreck your whole weekend. It is a real pain with Scrivener trying to maintain a master manuscript but working with others who want to see your work in Word. In Word, styles allow the Table of Contents to be generated (Scrivener has one, but, yeah). But when you format, you want styles and you want them now. The idea is, you write your Great Australian Novel in Scrivener, and then when it is all done and dusted you compile and format it in Word. It separates the formatting of the word from the writing of the word. So I have said previously that one of the issues I have had with using Scrivener to write with is also one of its strengths: Scrivener doesn’t do formatting.
