If the Cut and Paste method does not import satisfactorily, try this method. Also, if the Mac Word Processor script you want to import is on a different computer than Screenwriter, you can’t use the Cut and Paste method. Instead:
1. |
Open the Mac Word Processor, and open the script file you want to import to Screenwriter. |
2. |
Under the File menu, choose Save As. Save the script under a different name. |
3. |
In the Save As menu there should be an option to save the script in a different format. Typically, it says something like Format or File Type or Save Type. Change it to Rich Text Format or RTF. If that’s not available, choose Text or ASCII Text (If Text or ASCII options like With Line Breaks or With Formatting are available, select them.) |
4. |
Click on OK to save. When the file’s saved, exit the Word Processor. (If importing from a different computer, transfer the saved file to your Screenwriter computer.) |
Now follow the Direct Import instructions above.
