Hi.
In other software I used years ago, I could grab a scene that didn’t seem to fit and drag it to a ‘location’ below the main Manuscript one. Drop it there, and it would be preserved just as it was.
I could title that location however I liked and it would not be compiled because it was not part of the main ‘Manuscript’ folder.
Is there some way to do something similar in Papyrus Author 12?
I know I can cut the words and drop them onto a pinboard, but that loses the notes/abstract/etc. from the scene. I would like to preserve it, below the main document, but NOT have it included in the published version until I decide whether to delete or re-insert it - or edit it and make it fit.
When you select a text area and click the icon, the text will become Ghost Text. It will change color to indicate its status, and most importantly, it will not be published when you export the document into any other format.
You will still have to manually drag and drop it at the end of your document, that can easily be done inside the Navigator, just take the entry and drop it at the end. Or you keep it right were it is, it will still not be published.
Is it easy to set an entire scene to ‘ghost text’? I had issues in a book years ago where some spaces in an edited paragraph had become ghost text and the words were merging in the exported docx.
Unfortunately, there was no way to highlight the spaces as being ghost text so it took ages to find the problem.
Or you keep it right were it is, it will still not be published.
