Fifth step. I’ve now got notes clustered on topical Adornments. Time to start writing, which means time to extract the structure I’ve created to Scrivener.
(I have not yet had a chance to look at @mwra’s exercise files for basic exports, here: Exercise files for learning basic export . Clearly they need to go to the top of my reading list.)
First attempt: Select notes, use File→Export→As Text→Scrivener. OPML file appears. But it’s empty. Huh?
(At this point my deadline is creating too much urgency to investigate the issue. Moving on…)
Second attempt: Select notes. Become confused by the order in which they appear in the “Text” sidebar in Map View. It isn’t the order in which they were selected or the order in which they appear in Outline view. Make a note to investigate later. File → Export → As Text → RTF. That works. Repeat for each topical cluster. Done.
