In a follow-up on my latest column on writing technical documentation, Jesse asked us about pasting code. Also, Scrivener for iOS can currently only export your project as one single file. Unfortunately, there is currently no way of getting your images into Ulysses on iOS. Now tap on the app icon in the top-right corner, and, as a last step, select “Copy to Ulysses”: this will automatically open Ulysses for you, placing your project in the Inbox as one single sheet. After you tap “Compile”, you’ll see a preview of the finished document. In the export panel, select Word as file format. As a next step, tap the “Export All” button in the lower-left corner of the screen: Thanks Rafael! On iOSĪfter opening Scrivener, choose the project you’d like to export from the main screen. Then, drag the resulting folder into Ulysses’ library and your works will be imported automatically, including all images. Then, go to “File › Export › Files…” and select the format “Rich Text With Attachments (.rtfd)” and a place to store them. In order to do this, open Scrivener and select your Binder just as I’ve described above. Then you can drag the newly saved DOCX files into Ulysses’ library and your images will be retained.ĮDIT: Rafael Ontivero emailed me about another way of transferring your DOCX-files from Scrivener to Ulysses, which does in fact retain the images. In Word, go to “File › Save As…” and make sure to uncheck “Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word” when saving your file. That is, if your files contain images, you’ll have to open Scrivener’s DOCX files in Microsoft Word first. Please note: Ulysses can’t import images inside DOCX files created by Scrivener. This will make a group for the project folder and sheets for your texts. Scrivener will then create a folder which you can simply drag into Ulysses’ library. Choose DOCX as a format and a storing location. Now you can export your project via “File › Export › Files…”. Open Scrivener and reveal your Binder by going to the menu item “View › Layout › Show Binder”. You can still get your works into Ulysses though: by exporting them as DOCX files in Scrivener first. Scrivener saves your works in project files (.SCRIV) but Ulysses can’t handle these files directly. As both apps take a different approach to writing, there are some steps involved to migrate your texts to Ulysses. Peter recently asked how he could import his works from Scrivener into Ulysses. In her column, she responds to some of the most frequently asked questions and shares support answers that could be of interest for more Ulysses users out there.
