Movie Magic Screenwriter

When Screenwriter adds an A-Page (or B-Page etc.) to a script, it puts it in as a flexible A-Page.

If you later add or delete text before the flexible A-Page, the A-Page adjusts its numbering accordingly, just like a normal un-locked page.

After pages have been issued, you may want existing A-Page numbering to become fixed:

To do so, click on Production > Fix or Flex... > Fix All A-Pages.

fix=or-flex-menu-mac

All Flexible A-Pages are converted into Fixed A-Pages, becoming locked.

When you add text later, the new A-Pages generated are Flexible A-Pages.  These can also be locked when necessary.

Fix All A-Pages—Locks all A-Pages.  Only available in a script with Locked Pages.  Otherwise, it is grayed out.

Flex All A-Pages—Unlocks all fixed A-Pages.  Combines any short A-Pages that were locked, and may combine any Double-Locked Pages in the script.  Only available in a script with Locked Pages.  Otherwise, it is grayed out.

Fix (Lock) All Headers—Locks the Headers of all pages, except Flexible A-Pages.  Only available in a script with Locked Pages.

Flex All Headers—Unlocks the Headers of all pages, converting them to the Current Header.  Only available in a script with Locked Pages.

Unlock Headers—Unlocks the Headers of all pages, and turns Header Locking off for this script.  Only available in a script with Locked Pages.
