I've tried lots of other writing software, though not Write Way. The more I learn about Scrivener, the more I like it. I've just discovered the "Collections" which I imagine would be very useful: for tracking characters; things I need to do; storylines etc in a way which outlines can't.
I'm afraid I agree with VydorScope re Word vs Free word processors. I downloaded Open Office when I first got my current laptop after the other broke down. I thought Writer was very much like Wordpad, lacking the massive capabilities of Word. I was so relieved when this lappy accepted the Works Suite 2005 disc which contained Word 2002. I even managed to download (from MS) the part to make the Assistants work (love the cat!). I animate the cat when I'm bored or thinking.
I think that Scrivener and Word would work well together. Scrivener even recommends creating the first draft in Scrivener, then exporting, via RTF to a word processor for polishing and creating the final draft.
I love the way the trial version allows you to SAVE, so many trials of writing software meanly don't. I even noticed that last year they allowed an extended trial for Nanowrimo participants with a 50% off coupon for winners. It impresses me that there's good service, just in case I need advice or something goes wrong.
I'll try WriteWay, but I think I'm probably going to ask for Scrivener.
Will keep you updated.
