Calculate Eighths by...—Specifies how Screenwriter should define an 1/8th of a page. Historically, an 1/8th of a page was one inch (6 lines.) Nowadays writers are allowing more than 48 lines on a page, so Screenwriter gives you a choice between the standard 1/8th or a “truer” 1/8th.

Standard- 6 lines = 1/8th of a Page—If checked, defines an eighth of a page as 1” (6 lines.) If you have more than 8” of text on a page, however, it's possible for a page to calculate as longer than 8/8ths—giving inaccurate page counts. |

Adjusted - 7 lines = 1/8th of a Page—If checked, defines an eighth of a page as the total allowable lines on a page divided by eight. When rounded, this equals 7 lines. |
