Write and format your manuscript
Use the focused editor and lightweight formatting controls.
Format with intent
The toolbar includes Heading 1, 2, and 3, bold, italic, underline, bulleted lists, numbered lists, a thesaurus, and scene breaks.
- 1Select text before applying bold, italic, or underline.
- 2Use a consistent heading level for chapters of the same kind.
- 3Use lists in planning material or notes when order and grouping matter.
- 4Insert a scene break when time, place, viewpoint, or action shifts within a chapter.
Use headings as structure
Headings do more than change appearance. They give the Chapters panel a useful outline and make the shape of a long manuscript easier to navigate.
