Overview of ScriptWright Features
 | Formats your script in any of three standard, professionally approved layouts:
Draft, Master, or Shooting, inserting break strings for dialogue and scenes as needed.
|
 | "Filesafe." It makes no changes to your document that cannot be easily
reversed. |
 | Fully integrated with Word for Windows, allowing you to take full advantage of
Outlines, Hidden styles (for notes and annotations), and Revision Marks (for changes
between drafts) without disabling any of Word's built-in features.
|
 | Context sensitive Help, amply illustrated manual in
PDF format |
 | Features include: auto document abbreviations, side by side dialogue, print
selection, copy to a scrapfile, note file, document history, and revision management.
|
 | SmartEnter and SmartTab allow you to move from style to style, and insert character
names, with only the Enter and Tab keys. New in
2003: SmartContinuings. |
 | Tools to generate scene report detailing the length of each scene and a character
report breaking down each character by the number of their speeches.
|
 | Smart Continuings - Like SmartEnter (which
expands abbreviations and moves to the appropriate style), this feature
automatically inserts (continuing) or (CONT'D) when a character continues
speaking after an interruption by action description. |
 | Convert Continuings - The ability to toggle
between (continuing) or (CONT'D) as the marker for interrupted speeches. |
 | Backup Module |
 | Insert Note/Comments - A tool to manage
comments. |
 | Report Module - creates page breakdown for
scenes, sequences, and acts. Also can be used to quickly navigate
through your screenplay. |

ScriptWright and Final Draft
It is a simple matter to convert from
ScriptWright TO Final Draft. You simple select your entire document, copy,
then paste into a new Final Draft document.
All major paragraph elements will be
converted automatically.
 |
The hidden outline levels used by
ScriptWright will be ignored. |
 |
The style Headline (used for camera
direction) will be formatted as General |
In order to be able to edit in Final Draft or ScreenWriter
2000, you need to install the module ConvertRTF.
This allows you to go both ways.
