To give you an idea of how script writing works - there are certain elements like a "Scene Heading" with a certain indentation, all typed in Upper case. Then there are scene actions, with a different indentation, typed in lower case. Character names before dialogue are always centralised and capitalised; the dialogue following it has yet again a different indentation and is again in lower case... In script maker each of these can be achieved with a simple shortcut, such as Ctrl>N to capitalise a character name and put it in the right place on the page; Ctrl > H for Scene heading etc. It is these commands that don't all work in OO. > > For an example of perfectly formatted scripts, please refer to the scripts on this site: > > http://www.script-o-rama.com/table.shtml > > Maybe I should indeed invest in Final Draft (but not going to right now) - and when I do eventually, I need to know that it is indeed 100% compatible with OO... > > Thanks for your support in this matter, I hope their will be a solution soon. > Analize
