Yes, thanks. Speaking of user-related errors .... I guess I didn't read far enough!

In any case, problem solved, which is good.

Wow, Marguerite. THANK YOU for all that info; I didn't mean for anyone to go to all that trouble...

FYI, anyone else: download from the link that says SHORT STORY.STORY. *DO NOT* download from the first link given.

Works like a charm...

AH-HA!

As I suspected, the error was User Related....

I was downloading the FIRST link. When I saw the SECOND link, I clicked that, which brought down the .STORY file and now all is working perfectly!

Thanks for everyone's assistance!

Hi William,

I'm happy it worked out.

Quick question: When you downloaded the template using the first link, did your browser rename the story file (which has the extension ".story") to have the ".zip" extension?

I've seen several cases where download tools are too helpful by half and rename the story file after inspecting the contents and finding that it is actually just a zip archive.

Hey Steve-

Sorry to be all this bother on a Sunday, but I have to say, you guys knocked me out with the time and effort you put in to helping me. Hopefully, one day, I can "pay it forward"...

Here's what happened:

Clicking on the first link took me to: http://www.mediafire.com/?driza31d0b2

Big letters tells me CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Do so, and you recieve a file called SHORT STORY.STORY.ZIP

Open the ZIP (I scanned it, it appeared to be clean and virus free), and in that is an entire folder with a .STORY extension. Moving that into the Template folder shows it in Storyist, but trying to open it fails.

Downloading from the SECOND link brings in a file SHORT STORY.STORY, with the Storyist icon. Move THAT into Templates, and it works like a charm.

If only I could download "Creativity" so easy.....

Here's a short story template I just whipped up for use with Storyist. Please feel free to test this and leave me any suggestions.

Download here: Short Story Template

EDIT: Didn't realise we could upload files Here's the file again Short_Story.story

Sorry if this has been answered already.

When I use this template I get a header on the first page which I'd love to remove, and I also get a thin rule around each text box. This I'd DEFINITELY like to remove. I've tried both versions of the program.

Any suggestions anyone?

BTW, I've asked this in a separate post. Sorry.

Best to all, CM.

Tired to download the Short Story Template, but the link no longer exists...

Anyone got a fresh link?

Best...

Hi Serpententacle.

The Short Story Template should have downloaded with your copy of Storyist app. If you click ALL in the Template Chooser (which appears when you start by clicking on the application), you should find the Short Story Template positioned 2nd to last. Failing that, check to see if the ~Home> Library> Application Support> Storyist> Templates contains the file "Short_Story.story".

If all else fails, try this:  Short_Story.story   4.01K   32 downloads

Did you click on the link that says Short_story.story in Captain Marsupial's original post? I just did, and the forums tried to open the file on my iPad, so it must still be there.

You have to install it by dragging it to Library/Application Support/Storyist/Templates inside your home folder. Next time you start Storyist, it should be there, ready for selection.
Best,
M

A suggestion on using this template:

- This is a fairly old template which was apparently created with Storyist 1 and can't be read in that original format by iPad Storyist (so the message said), so just open it as a project on the Mac and save it (or save as a template) to the Dropbox as Short-Story.story; open it on iPad and it's fine. Saving it converts the file to a Storyist 2 document which is functonal on the iPad app.

That's probably true of lot of the older (as in pre-2008/9) templates. Good catch!
