    I also agree, Scrivener is a excellent tool for writing reports, papers etc. However, I find it difficult to create a table of contents.
    if you decide the export the document to pages for Mac, good luck with using Papers 3 as the program doesn’t format or list the references as before (even if you have the cite-keys).
