I can see how useful it will be, it's just getting comfortable with it after being a Word user for so long. :-)Carolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578076528292643928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-92174322171914990302019-01-28T11:02:14.439+00:002019-01-28T11:02:14.439+00:00I'll be very interested in how you get on with...I'll be very interested in how you get on with Scrivener, Carol. Like you, I tried the free version a few years ago but didn't even get to the end of the trial as it was confusing compared to Word which I always use. I'll maybe try again sometime.Rosemary Gemmellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311840205603508422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-19169257997610763262019-01-22T14:51:02.943+00:002019-01-22T14:51:02.943+00:00Bea- I'll update everyone at the end of the tr...Bea- I'll update everyone at the end of the trial period. Yes, nearly everyone I know who has tried it have gone on to purchase it and wouldn't go back.<br /><br />Julia- thanks for this. I have always used Word up to now and would have stayed with it if Microsoft hadn't gone the 365 route. I'm not that techy so a few bits of html are my limit for now. :-)Carolbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578076528292643928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-19152091778233570442019-01-22T13:29:24.497+00:002019-01-22T13:29:24.497+00:00I'm a Word user and always have been, apart fr...I'm a Word user and always have been, apart from the very early days of Word Perfect. (Yes, I'm THAT old.)I've never had any problems importing old versions into the one I have, and like the fact that I can also save docs into other versions and as pdfs. I have comfortably published e-books using its html format without any trouble. I find it very easy and flexible to work with.
