Cleaning up Imported Scripts

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Screenwriter may require you to do some cleaning up after importing a script.

To correct a mis-recognized Element, place the cursor anywhere in the element.  Click on the Current Element Window in the center of the Top Toolbar, and select the desired Element.

If the imported script was in TV format, you may have to reset the script’s formats (See Choosing a Script Format for more details.)  You'll also need to put back in the forced Page Breaks between scenes, and re-enter the Act Break and Scene Label.  Unfortunately, due to a lack of standardization in TV formats, the import function is unable to recognize all possible permutations.

NOTE:  Although the Import function is highly accurate, we recommend you check all imported scripts for errors before printing multiple copies.  Running SmartCheck helps, though even it can’t catch all errors.
