Just Type The Words
Scriptware frees you from complex word processing commands and macros that jam up your creative flow. All you need to type your script with Scriptware are your pinkies and the Tab and Enter keys. That's it!
Scriptware knows how scripts are put together, so it puts you in the right place before you even think about it. Type "int." or "ext." and Scriptware knows you're creating a Scene Heading... so it makes the line upper case, changes the margins and spacing and lets you select a location by typing one letter. Then, jump right into Action with a tap of the Enter key. Character names? Just press Tab, then put in the name you want with just one keystroke - it's automatically capitalized. And when you hit Enter, you're typing the character's dialogue. It's that easy!
Scriptware Does The Rest
As you type, Scriptware formats. Automatically, instantly and perfectly. Margin changes, capitalization, spacing and all the rest happen on the fly and on your screen. And when you get to the end of a page, Scriptware knows what to do there, too. It breaks scenes, action, and dialogue in the proper places. It puts in (more) and (CONTINUED) lines when you need them. When you make changes on page one, Scriptware invisibly checks and paginates every page afterwards!
If you know nothing about formatting, Scriptware does everything you need. If you want to change a format so it's just right, Scriptware lets you do everything you want.
