And if you mean a manuscript for a play or movie, you can use OOo for that too. I believe there are some add-ons that other users have created which help with script formatting, although as I use Celtx for scriptwriting, I haven't tested them and can't vouch for them. If you don't want to use those, you will have to do your formatting yourself, but you can create a template which will give you your positioning. As far as I'm aware, there is no way to make the template change to upper cace for, for example, scene headers or cue lines and then change back to mixed case for the next line. Not that I want to knock OOo, I use it very successfully for novel writing, but if you are looking at movie/play scripts, take a look at Celtx. There's a version for all three platforms, Windows, Linux and Mac, and it does all the normal formatting, and has other functions, too. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
