I just purchased Scrivener yesterday and am trying to get it figured out. After importing my manuscript, I cut and pasted it, separating it into the 23 chapters that are linked under "Manuscript" in the binder.

For some reason, when I go to Project: Project Statistics it shows only 158 words. My entire manuscript is roughly 97,000. I think it's only calculating statistics on the title page?

I don't know if I did something wrong when splitting it into chapters? Or if I should've copied to paste it into the separate breaks instead of cut?

Can someone please help me understand how to fix this?

    Make sure all the folders that contain the text are descendants of the main project folder.

You probably need to check the Include in Compile checkbox in the Notes Inspector (View → Inspect → Notes; ⌃⌥⌘H)

Section 21.3 in the manual is about goals and statistics tracking by the way.

  • This was my problem. I used this answer, and it was absolutely what had happened to my word count.
