Important note

Pressing 'Cancel' while in the 'Project Settings' window means that you lose all information you've entered since accessing the form. It does not just cancel information entered in the last tab you displayed.

Opening the Project Settings form

Select 'Project Settings' from the 'File' menu in the Main Screen.

Title and Description

Enter project 'Title' and 'Description' in the text fields provided.

Author Name and Bio

Click the 'Author' tab and enter 'Author' (if not already filled) and 'Author Bio' (Biography) if you wish.

Setting Project Deadlines

Click the 'Deadlines' tab to view the Outline, Draft, 1st Edit, 2nd Edit and Final Edit

'Begin' and 'End' dates. The outline is automatically set to start from the project's date of creation. To change a date click on it once and a date box will appear (as shown). Type in the day then press your tab key (to move across to the month box), type in the month then press your tab key (to move across to the year), type in the year and press 'OK' to save. (You must configure your Project Deadlines before you can print off a Work Schedule report)

Changing the Rating Names

Click the 'Rating Names' tab to enter four key aspects you wish to rate in scenes (with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent). You can either press 'Reset to Defaults' (as shown) or type in your own rating names. For example, if you're writing a horror novel you might like to change 'Humour' to 'Gore'.

Press 'Save' to save information entered in all tabs and exit.
