Scene Headers

[Shaun Taylor]

When  exporting a project to an RTF or DOCX format, is there a way to include the scene title as the scene separator ?  Or is there a macro/script to allow this.

I like to edit on a print out and often loose track of what scene I am up to when making changes, especially over a project that requires multiple sessions.

Normally RTF/DocX are for export to prepare for publication, which is why this option isn't in there.

Export Chapters for Proofing includes the Scene ID though.

I also recommend "Export chapters for proofing", because you can edit and reimport your text. 

However, if you don't need the reimport, and the mere scene ID isn't sufficient, there actually is a script for a customized HTML export, see:  https://peter88213.github.io/yw2html

With the ready-made templates in the examples\template\manuscript folder you get a manuscript with the scene titles as third level headings, if I'm not mistaken.
