File Scanning
Sente works with Scrivener documents using the file scanning interface, in which
citations are first entered as citation tags (e.g., “{Smith 2007}”) and are then
replaced with properly formatted citations during the file scan operation. Please see
the chapter on File Scanning
for more information and step-by-step instructions.
You can add Sente as your Bibliography/Citations manager in Scrivener by opening
Scrivener Preferences and clicking on the General tab. Next to the heading
Bibliography Manager, click the Choose... button, navigate to your Sente application
and select it. (It may be located in your /Applications folder.)
Output Options
The output options for your Scrivener document will depend on which format type
you export your file to. For example, if you export the file in the docx format
(recommended), your output options will be:
•Document, Not Scannable
•Document, Scannable (EndNote compatible)
•Document, Unscanned
However, if you export the file as an RTF document, your output options after
scanning will be limited to the following (with no Scannable option):
•Scanned RTF
•Scanned RTF with EndNote codes for Word 2004
•Scanned RTF with Sente codes for Word 2004
•Unscanned RTF
Please see the information in this chapter about working with Microsoft Word 2008
and 2011
documents and/or working with RTF files
. Please also see the chapter on
File Scanning
for more information on scanning documents.
Rescanning
Microsoft Word docx documents support the concept of “rescanning,” where
scanned documents can be edited, even including changes to the actual citations in
the document, and then scanned again to produce a properly formatted document.
Please see the File Scanning
chapter for more information and instructions on how
to rescan docx documents.
