I live in Peru and I have a Monarch too. I wonder if you could send me a copy of the owner’s manual to my e-mail, because I couldn’t get one on-line.

Thanks a lot,

Alberto.

Your suggestions are neatly organized, as always. It's interesting that "inserting" the diagram or picture into scrivener seems to work better than "importing" it. That has moved my editing struggles forward. Thanks again. Sinead Michael, I’d be happy to buy you that coffee sometime. Your suggestions are neatly organized, as always.

Glad to help. Promise to buy me a coffee sometime when we meet :). What I have taken to nowadays is to do the draw in Powerpoint, save it as a Powerpoint (usually, in a subdirectory called _diagrams of the folder where the Scrivener project is at, and using as a filename the Scrivener figure reference (e.g. <$n:figure:research-model>.ppt) and select the drawing and copy-and-paste into Preview, where I save it as a PNG (or a JPG if you prefer) that I insert into the document. Remember to scale the image back (I do it to 255 pixels, approximately) so that when you compile it doesn't leave the image at monster-truck size when you open it up in Word. Similarly, I do tables in Word as Scrivener's table editing is just awful. I create an RTF document in Word, create the table and format it there (including combining cells etc) and then import the RTF document as a new scrivening into Scrivener. Hope this helps.

I suspect it saved me 1-2 weeks work, in fiddling around myself when I was getting started with scrivener. I've a question on putting drawings or diagrams within the text editor. I only have a few, but I like to have them embedded in the text if possible. In your video you mentioned using JPEG, having exported the drawing from Powerpoint. I didn't manage this. I tried File, Import... but JPEG files are greyed out on my finder. I was able to drag & drop the image into the editor, but it was subsequently lost in the compile. Have you any other tips with regard to placing diagrams in the editor / text? Much appreciate you sharing your insights, Sinead. Hi Michael, many thanks for your video and academic template.

I mean, it's an agglomeration of stuff you'll find all over the place; it might not even work for your field. But hopefully it helps. Thanks: Micheal Axelsen No worries, very happy to share.
