Scrivener For Dummies

Working with the Project Keywords Window

The Project Keywords window floats over the Scrivener project window and lets you easily change keyword colors or delete keywords from the entire project.

Open the Keywords window by clicking the Keywords button in the Scrivener toolbar or choosing Project⇒Show Project Keywords. You can also click the gear button in the Keywords header of the Inspector pane, and then choose Show Project Keywords from the drop-down list that appears. The Project Keywords window shows all keywords available in the project. (To close the window, click the X in the upper-left corner.)

Figure 5-14 provides an overview of the Project Keywords window.
