I'm about to start my next book (still a Mac diehard, here, loving my new, beautiful, overpriced Macbook Air), and am hovering between writing it in Word (I have the Officially Hewson-reviled Office 2011) and Scrivener 2. I just opened the Properties panel on my last manuscript in Word 2011; how ugly it is, how inelegant and inefficient in comparison to the Properties panel you just posted for your book. On my Mac, the panel looks ancient, broken down into multiple tabs to get the info, instead of the one slick page in your demonstration; I'm wondering if that's because I wrote the book in Word 2008, and Word 2011 is operating in Compatibility Mode. Are you saving in Docx, David?

I liked the diary you posted in the previous post. When you write it in One Note, is it somehow tethered to the main novel text you're writing in Word? Or is it a completely unlinked second document?
