To help me to prepare, you could also complete this short questionnaire. To watch me go through the setting up Page View or to ask any questions, book a Simply Scrivener Special. Questions about Scrivener? Need a helping hand? Want a demo? It’s not possible to combine Page View with either of these features. Note also: If you enjoy the new typewriter scrolling or have a need for line numbers, Page View is not for you. So, it’s great for you, if seeing your manuscript laid out on pages makes you feel better, or you just want to get an idea of how it might look, but it’s no substitute for compiling and looking at the output. Why? There are a number of features used while editing (such as Show Titles in Scrivenings) which use more vertical space in Scrivenings than would be needed when you compile. : Page view is for simulating the look and feel of writing on real pages, and is thus an aesthetic preference, not a print preview tool. Literature & Latte stress that what you see might not be exactly what will appear ‘on the page’ when you compile. Notice there is also an option to see ‘Two Pages Across’. If you change your mind, you can select View / Text Editing / Hide Page View. Which page you are on is also visible – and arrow keys to let you move from page to page, rather than scrolling. What happens next? Your text will be displayed on pages, and the break between pages is clear. Selecting Page View is straightforward: View / Text Editing / Show Page View. Notice that the default dimensions here are A4 – but you can change them to whatever you want. Click on the + sign, give it a name and complete the dimensions you desire. If none of these suit you, select Manage Custom Sizes… and set up a page size. As usual, there are lots of preset options. So, how can you activate Page View? What are the necessary steps? First, define your pageįor Page View, the Paper Size is the crucial piece of information Scrivener needs to work out how much text will fit and therefore how each page will look. Even if you are not self-publishing, having sight of a ‘page view’ and being able to visualise how your book will look when published is reassuring. More authors self-publish and they want to ‘see’ the finished look while writing. However, it’s also a sign that publishing itself has changed. Page View is a new feature and may appeal most to those who come from a WYSIWYG background, eg those using Word. With Scrivener 3, things have changed! We now have Page View. However, I know, and Literature & Latte have acknowledged, that many writers feel happier seeing on screen how the manuscript might appear when published.

Just write the words and worry about the formatting later. You could work in Scrivener without considering how your material will land on a page, or in an ebook. So, determining what landed where required knowledge of the output type – and that means going through Compile. The output could be to a variety of page sizes – and to electronic forms where the page size is determined by the reader.Applying the old-fashioned principles, the writer doesn’t need to see it, yet.How the finished product looked was not a factor during writing Identify the images (figures and tables).Get the words written (using the Editor pane).

Scrivener was originally designed with this same ‘old-fashioned’ approach to publishing: The original Scrivener approach to writing It was literally a physical cut-and-paste to work out where the images might fit on the page. No images, just the words set to the required width. If we go back far enough (I do…), the first proofs were called galleys. The commissioned author wrote the words, supplied the images and the (traditional) publisher put it together using a team of typesetters, designers, copy editors, proofreaders, collators, etc. In the good-old-bad-old-days, writers didn’t have the option to see their finished masterpiece until it was almost finished and about to be published. WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get In the good old days …
