![]() ![]() Highlight the Title of the Scene and RIGHT-Click and select “Cut selection for Scene Title”, and you’l have your “Scene Title” in its field.This will take the highlighted words out of the scene and put it in the “Scene Description” field automatically. Then RIGHT-Click and select “Cut selection for Scene Description”. Open up each scene and highlight the Description that you typed after each * * * in MSWord.yWriter will import the novel and then prompt you for new project file name.Choose the RTF file of your novel/project.Open yWriter5, click the PROJECT> IMPORT INTO NEW PROJECT > IMPORT A WORK IN PROGRESS.Go to FILE > Save AS, and make sure to save the document as a RTF.Then make another RETURN and Type a line for the scene title.After the asterisks, make two RETURNS/PARAGRAPH spaces and Type a line for the scene description. ![]() You can use yWriter and do the SEARCH > GLOBAL SEARCH AND REPLACE and change it back to asterisks once the novel is imported For those area where you want to keep the * * *, replace those with # instead. Then in the “Replace With” field put ^p^p* * *^p. NOTE: In MSWord Click CTRL+H, and in the “Find What” box put three ^p or two ^p to find paragraph marks. Put the * * * in every place before your scene. A scene is anywhere that you have a double-space to show a passage of time or a change of scenery. Put a * * * ( three asterisks with spaces in between) before each scene.For instance, as the software states: If you use HAL to replace BAL, it will also change HALF into BALF It won’t replace any partial words anywhere else in the novel. I use the brackets so that there would be no mistaking it. Do a search for the word “Chapter” throughout your entire manuscript and make sure to replace them with a different made-up like and replace it with the word “chapter”.I recommend just put the name of the chapter on the next line down. If you’re using Headings to automatically number your chapters, these are okay, but the words/titles beside the chapter will not be pulled over to yWriter. Make sure there’s a chapter, the word “Chapter 1” for each chapter.Doing these steps would make things a bit easier. Prepare your MSWord Novel for importing into yWriter. Stuff I’ve learned and had to research and find out to make my life a bit more easier, though yWriter is making it is easy enough (and more fun) for my writing. I wanted to share some tips and tricks of yWriter. ![]()
