Script Wizard®
Script writing, formatting and production processing add-in to Microsoft Word
Script Wizard is the full-service script-writing add-in to Microsoft® Word. The add-in provides professionally formatted style-sheets, expedites the writing process with shortcut keys, and allows users to write professionally formatted scripts and prepare them for production, or export them to other production script generators. Ideal for both professionals and students. Supports screenplays, teleplays, stage plays, radio plays, and A/V formats.
Script Wizard supports all script forms and styles
and includes templates for 12 professional script formats, including screenplays, sitcoms, soaps, radio-style scripts, stage plays, 2-column A/V and Story Board formats.
Script Wizard is seamlessly integrated
Scriptwriting Toolbars and menus appear only when Script Wizard files are opened, and disappear again when they are closed. Display options are maintained separately from those which the user sets for standard word processing tasks. And you can run as many other add-ons and add-ins as your computer’s working memory will allow.
Scripts can be imported and exported …
Script Wizard can import script files written in standalone programs such as Movie Master®, Scriptware®, Super Script®, Final Draft®, Word for Macintosh, as well as Scriptor OUT® files. It can also export files back to those same programs.
Tools for formatting while writing…
Shortcut keys and toolbar buttons make writing and formatting scripts quick and easy. Use a single Ctrl-key combination or click once on a toolbar button to format sluglines, action, character names, dialog, parenthetic notes and transitions. All standard script notations are typed for you. The Character editor stores repeatedly-used character names for writing dialogue; select a key code, a toolbar button or a menu item to have the formatted character’s name entered into your script automatically.
Tools for making page breaks
Completely automated script processing utilities prepare your scripts for printing. Script Wizard makes intelligent page breaks for scenes and transitions, and inserts (MORE) and NAME (CONT’D) when dialogue is split across pages. Page break options include Top/Bottom Continueds and global page headers. Automatic and manual page-break processing available.
Tools for numbering scenes…
For features, TV movies and hour episodic: Automatic and Manual scene numbering options let you add (and remove) scene numbers, in either the Left, Right or Both margins, using either conventional or unique numbering schemes. Options to lock numbers, annotate “omitted” scenes and generate A-B scenes, are included. For Sitcoms, Daytime soap, and stage plays: Automated procedures for including Act and Scene numbers in page headers are available for all TV and stage script formats.
Tools for revisions and re-writes…
A single hot key creates revised page headers and makes “A” pages as needed. Mark Change symbols (revision bar) can be placed in either the left or right page margins, revised text can be set off from old with bold, italics, underlining or double-underlining — automatically! Scene numbers are added (A/B), omitted or edited at the touch of a toolbar button.
Scene lists, cast lists, and sides
Enter a name or location (or any other script reference), and the Excerpt utility will search for and copy all paragraphs which include that text to a separate excerpt file. Page numbers can be included after each paragraph for cross-reference. Use it to review one character’s dialogue or to generate casting ‘sides’. bookmarks placed when you quit work today allow you to come back to the exact same place in your file tomorrow. instant scenarios or act/scene breakdowns are available simply by shifting into Outline view.
Page count is on screen on the status line at all times.
On-screen notepad files
…are automatically time stamped each time you open them. Use the Edit Find command to quickly find every note you ever wrote on that character, that scene, etc.
