Builder's are the
most flexible of the XE file types. Builders combine multiple
rich text documents sorted into a single file with titles,
descriptions and color indexing. Builders are perfect for
organizing complicated storylines with alternating scenes and
are a great place to save reference material. Use a Builder
to organize scenes, store clippings, hold research, or use a
Builder as a discard bin for worthy paragraphs.
To create a new Builder, choose
'New Builder...' from the 'Create' menu. Enter an appropriate
title, and press 'OK'.
An empty Builder will open.
Add items by clicking the 'New
Item' icon.
Enter ideas by selecting a row,
and simply typing in your chosen text. Add detail to each item
by adding descriptors. For each entry, a title,
description, and color may be assigned.
The topmost box allows you to
enter the item's title, the second it's description.
To change the item index color,
choose 'Color' from the 'Builder' menu
The item's title and
description are shown in the listing to the right.
Builders can automatically combine multiple documents into
a single, unified Chapter. Use a Builder to arrange
complicated scenes, are divide a large Chapter into manageable
parts.
Select 'Build All Items...' from the 'Builder' menu.
To add document titles, select 'Build With Titles' and
'Build With Descriptions' from the Builder's 'Preferences'
menu.
After you enter a title and
click 'OK!!', a Chapter will be created from the combined
Builder items.
The Builder items are combined
to form a single, unified Chapter.
Use a Builder to collect and
store important clips, well-written deleted content, or
like-themed text such as letters. |
