Just an FYI, if you have the Inspector open, the synopsis, the data section and the document notes will also correspond with the active pane. To open another document, click on the inactive pane to make it active, go to the binder and select the text you want to view. The pane with the blue header bar is the one that’s active and the inactive pane is a light gray. Click on the split toggle screen icon that’s next to the two up/down arrows to the right of the pane header. To activate Split Screen, select a document in the binder, which will appear in the Editor. I also use Split Screen when I’m writing and reviewing my research notes, or reviewing two different chapters to see how the transitions work, or incorporating notes from one version of a document into another. I have the letter open in one pane, and in the second one the article that I’m trying to summarize. How do I use Split Screen? When I write the letter from the online editor for HAND/EYE Magazine, and summarize four articles featured that week in the online issue. For example, let’s say that you’ve imported a document ( NOTE: this only works with text documents, not PDFs or web pages-at least that’s what I noticed) and you discover the print is a tad too small to read, you can change the text scale in one pane and it doesn’t affect the second one. Split Screen mode also remembers the settings of each pane and you don’t have to fiddle with them the next time you use this option. If you need to change settings on one pane, no need to worry that it will switch the settings in the other one. Each pane works independently of each other. With Split Screen mode you can divide the Editor screen into two different panes. Prior to making the discovery, I was going about it the old-fashioned way of resizing a window in another program and resizing Scrivener so I could view two different documents at the same time. I was planning to write the second part of formatting, but I thought Split Screen Mode was a more important feature to discuss. It’s one I use on an almost daily basis. Give it a whirl and let me know in the comments if it works for you. When it imports into Scrivener it’s untitled so click on it and label it. Once I’ve done that, I click on Save PDF to Scrivener, and in seconds, the PDF appears at the bottom of the research section. Now remember, you can only import PDFs into the research folder so before you select Save PDF to Scrivener in Evernote, the research folder needs to be selected. But as I scrolled further down the menu I noticed that I can actually skip the save to my desktop step and save it directly into my open Scrivener project. That’s the way, I’ve been importing my PDFs from Evernote. I save it on the desktop so I can easily drag it into my open Scrivener project’s research section. Once I select that choice, a window will open of where to save it. At the bottom of the print menu, I have several choices of how I want to print it.
A couple of things to note…because I have the Premium version of Evernote, I can highlight sections of the note that I’m interested in as well as write comments. Typically the page still has a lot of unnecessary text so I clean it up more. When it’s saved in Evernote, I select the note and in the pane to the left I see the entire article.
I save the web page as “Simplified Article.” The reason behind this is that I don’t want all the garbage that appears on a web page. There’s quite a bit of literature about it so I plan to Google and save whatever I can find in Evernote.Īfter conducting a simple search, I found a senior thesis about women prisoners during and after the Spanish Civil War that I want to save in Evernote using my Evernote extension in Google Chrome. At the moment, I have a vague storyline about three women who have ties with the Spanish Civil War.
#Organizing pdf files in scrivener for pc how to#
This week I’m taking a how to structure a short story/novella course. I go about importing a note in a different manner. Gwen Hernandez recently posted an Evernote/Scrivener tutorial on her site and you can see how she uses it to import a note or a hyperlinked Table of Contents. Conclusion: it was well worth the $45 investment. I played around with DevonThink, and I’m not 100 percent convinced I need it.Įvernote was an app I downloaded, but rarely used until this year when I decided to spring for the premium version. As you can see with one of my WIPs, I use it for the outlining process, images, documents, PDFs and so forth.įor several years now I’ve used Scrivener as the hub for my research, but I discovered I needed something else to store all the material I gathered. My favorite Scrivener feature without any doubt is the research folder of the Binder.
