Here are some key features of “Scrivener”:
Edit Multiple Documents:
– “Scrivenings” mode temporarily combines individual documents into a single text, allowing you to view and edit different sections of your manuscript in isolation or as a whole.
Corkboard:
– Virtual index cards store a synopsis for every document you create. Storyboard and rearrange your project by moving cards around on the corkboard.
Outlining:
– A fully-featured outliner helps you take control of the structure of your work. Use the outliner to plan first and write later, or write first and use the outliner to make sense of that messy first draft.
Scriptwriting:
– Switch to scriptwriting mode for automatic screen- or stage play formatting—or set up your own script formats. You can even mix up script formatting with regular text for writing treatments.
Snapshots:
– Taking a “snapshot” of a document allows you to edit and rewrite in the confidence that you can restore an earlier revision at any time.

Bug Fixes:
– XP users only—there was a critical bug in the Compile dialog in which the compile description text label overlayed other controls preventing their selection. Fixed missing padlock bug in inspector Fixed bug that caused early trial expiry. Fixed bug in the Compile Formatting pane whereby if the “Title” was unchecked the Prefix and Suffix were not included in the output when they should have been. Fixed bug where font kept changing to Courier New after inserting a MathType equation. Fixed issue whereby Windows installed on a Virtual Machine (VM) is not able to detect network to download update.
