(Put Action in Parentheses)—If checked, puts Parentheses around the Action text (as is required in some Stage Play and TV Sitcom formats).
Action Indentation—This option allows you to change the starting indent of Action. The setting of -1 is only available when you have the option Put Action in Parenthesis selected, and setting it to -1 will automatically select that option for you if it is not already. This setting will cause the left parenthesis to be outdented one position so that the first line of action will line up with all subsequent lines.
When you change this Action Indentation setting, you will see a sample action line which will display how action will look with the current parenthetical and indentation settings.
