I usually copy and paste into the box that is provided. I then change anything that they point out as errors. Each item under the text such as run on sentences ,etc I tap and it will highlight the problematic area and you can correct. I then copy and paste back to the support forum submission form. BE SURE TO CORRECT LINE SPACING once you paste back to the submission form. I hope this helps you

I have yet to try Scrivener, but I would love to hear from any Book Club members how they like it.

- Latest Review: The Ultimate Guide For The Avid Indoorsman by John Driver
I learned Scrivener mainly from just exploring the program and looking at the tutorial thing they have.
I absolutely love it, and if you can figure out how to use it, it's absolutely amazing.

- Latest Review: Cowboys Don't Fly by John Steed
YouTube has a lot of tutorials that have really helped me. I suggest starting with the basics and taking it slowly. I was really confused at first too but eventually got the hang of things!

I am a bit lost too.
In the Scrivener’s turotial that comes with the program, I have gotten to a point that talks about the "i" in the in the right of the toolbar (the strip of buttons at the top of the window). It opens what is called the "inspector". The inspector displays information relating to the document currently shown in the editor, such as its synopsis, label and status.
I guess this is something that I will get used to as things go on.
I am seeing there is a learning curve, I think. I fouond where there is some information about the inspector.
