I have part of my manuscript already on MS Word. Can I transfer it to Scrivener (copy and paste, or? ) ?

Yes. Scrivener is divided into three sections that cannot be deleted: Draft, Research, Trash. I tend to follow the Hero's Journey scheme for fiction and I rename the Draft folder to Manuscript. I then create sub-folders named after each of the scheme's divisions, e.g. ordinary world, crossing the first threshold, test, approach to the innermost cave, etc. Within each division I create yet other sub-directories in which I create various scenes, etc., etc., etc. Given that your composition is, in part, complete you have the option of pasting as a single block or you can break it up into chapters, scenes, incomplete ideas, a chunk of dialogue here or there, or as Act 1, Act 2, Act 3 - whatever - and place each part in its respective folder. When you complete your composition, Scrivener (at your command) automatically compiles the parts into manuscript form as you have arranged them in your folders/sub-folders. The beauty of this is that, at any time, you can arrange and rearrange the various scenes or chapters by dragging them to wherever you like within your composition without copy/paste actions. But yes, you can simply copy and paste your entire composition into one folder and utilize Scrivener's outlining capability and add to it ad lib. Ed

Pretty well - I've had some words misspelled throughout the document but easily corrected. It is better than retyping an entire document. Use the Microsoft Word spell check to catch all of the small issues.

I've only had to do this once...and it worked just fine. It will of course depend on your program the document is formatted in. But, we simply love this machine. The company we bought it from has always been happy to help me with any problems I encountered while learning to use it.

Yes, you certainly can. It is not a direct nor intuitive process. In fact, you have to save the scanned item, export it to a file in PDF or Image format, then use your email software to pick up the item and send it along. This is a big shortcoming. Having developed software for quite some time, this is a rather easy function to create within the application and it surprised me that it doesn't offer the feature.There is another optional service NeatCloud which allows you to use the cloud to share the document with a number of other services (e.g. Dropbox, EverNote, etc.) This service ranges in price for the type of services desired.

Several ways. If you are really quick you can add pages before the last page is drawn in or you can use the software or Adobe to do it. A great scanner btw

Can you put a word processor on it? I don't want to do all my writing within google docs.

Yes you can save to flash drive. It is not full Microsoft word but an app version.

Word processor does not come by default. You may need to buy MS office 2010 for document creation needs.

You can use part of the book without the new pen, but you can not use the workbook pages. The new pens work like pencils only on the special paper.

I don't believe so. I have Scrivener for both Mac and Windows (two computers). Now, I have Word on the PC, but my impression is that Scrivener doesn't use it. Scrivener stores files in rtf, and then converts them to other file formats as requested. At least, that's what I understand it to be doing. So it should function just fine without Word. If you need to be sure, I would suggest downloading a trial version before buying.

Make sure you have the 2.5 upgrade. I'm able to use it on Word 2011 and also on Pages and Nisus Writer.

I use it for a purchased copy of Express Scribe... It would most likely work for basic versions as the software probably just has less features if it's a free version.

You print the document from the program, no need for Word. Use a parchment paper and it really looks good.

I write in pencil so I can just erase and reuse. The company also sends you a PDF version of the ledger that you could tape or staple over or even just insert in the envelope.

No, mine did not. I use Kingsoft Suite which has Writer (Word), Spreadsheet (Excel), etc. So far, they are compatible & nearly identical to MS Office.

After a week of use I can reiterate that this is possible. I have converted full pages of handwritten notes (8.5 x 11) . The Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is pretty good. Just click on the page in the Livescribe+ app and swipe to the right. The handwritten notes are converted into text. I find that my numbers do not always convert correctly, but editing is simple from within the app

@Deanna:It may help if you clarify what you mean by "copy". What exactly are you trying to copy?
