Chapter 4: Exporting Your Work
StoryMill provides most basic text formatting that youʼll need while
writing, but for advanced text editing features such as margins,
headers/footers, and footnotes, youʼll need to export your text and
work in another environment, such as a word processor. Before
youʼve finished your project you may want to print all of the
information youʼve entered so you can go over it by hand. Or else
you might want to share your research materials without needing
to go through your research view to copy and paste everything.
Fortunately, StoryMill doesnʼt just provide you with tools for writing
and revising your project; it also makes it extremely easy to export
your work to send to agents and publishers, or just to print a hard
copy of your scenes so you can mark them up in pen before you
do revisions.
StoryMillʼs powerful exporting system is capable of exporting any
text that youʼve entered in the program. You can also easily
create formatted export templates using rich text and special
keywords within the program. StoryMill exports to a number of
different formats, including Word, Word 2007, RTF, rich text with
attachments (RTFD), HTML, and plain text.
StoryMill ships with a number of basic export templates, but if you
find that they donʼt quite fit your needs you can easily modify or
duplicate them as a basis for designing your own custom
solutions.
