Importing DocX created by another program doesn’t copy scene names

I tried transferring an in-progress file by exporting as DocX (default settings) – The original scene titles are hidden at the first character of each section in the .pap file as: Label “This is Scene 1”, for example, but no scene marker.

Could you snap a screenshot of how this looks in Papyrus Author?

How to take a screenshot

Use the snipping tool or screenshot tool to take a photo of the problem by following these instructions:

For Windows: Use Snipping Tool to capture screenshots

For macOS: Take a screenshot on macOS

You can attach images to your post by simply dragging and dropping them into the reply field.

Is there some trick to this, or do Papyrus Author and Scrivener use different ways of storing the scene names/titles in the docx file?

If that’s the case, is there a workaround?

I think @Inkmuser had recently a similar situation in this topic: Best way to learn Papyrus? - #5 by inkmuser

It’d be awesome to hear how he solved it!

@cflynnbooks

Is there a way to make Papyrus Author see those Labels as Scene markers or titles?

If Scrivener has its own, unique marking style for Scenes, they might not translate over through export/import.

Is it possible for you to make the scenes into comments? Those carry over from the from a .docx file.
