H is for … Header lines

Only three topics listed under H in the Index of Scrivener Posts, HTML, while useful if you are that way inclined, is not essential learning for anyone using Scrivener. So, it’s header lines for today.

Applying headers (and footers) involves some of those essential executive functions.

1. The ability to anticipate what’s coming up and make plans accordingly – see also number 8, flexibility!
2. The ability to organise – thoughts, ideas, the scenes/chapters of my novels, …
3. Reliability – doing what we agreed when we said it would be done (or earlier!)
4. Getting up and getting on with the work – ie self motivation
5. Managing our time to achieve the best results
6. Paying attention to detail (quality …)
7. Remembering stuff that’s important
8. Flexibility – willingness to make changes in our plans or our approach
9. Determination – ability to keep going
10. Willingness to reflect on our own contribution to the team (and learn from it)

Scrivener gem

If  your Scrivener project is long enough to run to more than two pages (and whose doesn’t?), use the Header/Footers feature to at least number the pages. And, include other essential information, such as the author, the title of the document and the date it’s printed – and any copyright information.

If you have time today, read this blog post. If not, make a note to come back to this post another day.
