Ideal for long structured documents

As a professional, i need to write user manuals and software design documents. I bought Scrivener because I wanted to keep all of my research/reference informations and my draft document together. I also wanted an easy way to reorganize my ideas and draft text sections so that I can iteratively release my documents.

Scrivener has gone beyond my expectations in terms of workflow and flexibility. I can put down my text in any order and rearrange it afterwards. Its highly customizable meta-data allows draft and final text to be mixed without losing track of what needs to be reviewed. Scrivener synopsis feature is also a must to remain focus on the topic when written long documents.

I really appreciate the fact that I can write without worrying about the final format. It provides a cleanup slate in which to drop my ideas and concentrate on what is more important: the message that I want to get across.

When my document is ready for review or publishing, Scrivener allows me to compile the desired document sections into various formats such has PDF, RTF, HTML, mobi, kindle, epub, fdx, etc…

I strongly recommend Scrivener for writing long technical documents where you need to trough your ideas down on paper (screen in this case) and iteratively organize and polish them into a cohesive document. No other word/text processing software I have tried offers the flexibility and workflow given by Scrivener.
