I use Scrivener for writing and organising large documents and then move them onto work for proofreading and formatting by others. One of the recurrent problems I have come across is how to get rid of section breaks in the word document. What happens is you get some text that won't move up to the previous page, which is a symptom of a section break in the document - here is the fix.

People have been trying to turn to other sources to replace this excellent program. Just a quick search on Internet for Mac dictation will show lots of people talking about how Mac dictate/voice control is not as quick or as accurate as Dragon. I would certainly concur with this. Whilst Mac dictate/voice control is useful it is not yet at the level that Dragon dictate was. Part of the problem appears to be that it appears to be operating through Siri and therefore requires an Internet connection sending the dictation to Apple for processing. I don't know about anybody else but I find that there can be quite a lag with this which really slows down the dictation and workflow. The beauty of Dragon especially the older versions was that it was software driven and all processing and learning was done on board your computer which really speeded thin...
