This also gives me the opportunity to confirm that these files still work with version 1.7.3 (the latest Windows release as I type this), although just to remind you, you’ll may need to download the above linked file when you upgrade your version of Scrivener, depending on what’s included in the update and on your method of installation. Follow the same instructions as above, but use the file linked here instead. Just for you, I’ve created a version of the file that will update the default links in writing tools to take you to the Collins British English Dictionary and their Worldwide English Thesaurus (they only have two options, American or Worldwide).

I have tested this modified file with Scrivener for Windows version 1.6.1 (the latest official release) as well as version 1.7.0.2 (the current beta).

The steps below will switch the and references to enable you to look up words in the Collins online dictionary and thesaurus instead (in particular, the American English versions).ġ) Download the file Scrivener_en.qm from this link (you’ll need to unzip it), and save it to your hard drive.Ģ) Copy the file to the translations folder of your Scrivener installation (for example on my computer it’s C:\Program Files (x86)\Scrivener\translations\). Depending on the version of Scrivener you are running, you may already have a file called Scrivener_en.qm in that directory. These tools aren’t user definable, but if you are prepared to tinker a little under the hood there is a way to change these to something you use more regularly. Scrivener for Windows has a number of writing tools available from the Tools menu, including options to look up selected words in a number of online references (dictionary, thesaurus, etc).
