There are two ways to restore a previously defined format you may have overwritten:
• |
Uninstall and then reinstall Screenwriter. This restores all the pre-set template formats to their Screenwriter defaults. |
Reinstall Screenwriter by doing the following:
Macintosh OS X
1. |
Insert the CD for Movie Magic Screenwriter. |
2. |
When the CD appears on the Desktop, open it by double clicking (it may open automatically). |
3. |
Double click on the Install Screenwriter 6.0 package. |
4. |
Follow through the on-screen steps to re-install the program. |
•Open the appropriate Example file and save its format over the template that was overwritten:
1. |
Click on File > Open. |
2. |
Open the Sample Files folder. |
3. |
In the Sample Files folder, select the sample file that contains the format of the template that was overwritten and click Open.. |
4. |
Click on File > Save As Template... |
5. |
Select the template (.def) file that was accidentally overwritten. |
6. |
Click on Save. |
7. |
A prompt should appear asking to replace the existing file. |
8. |
Click on Yes to overwrite the file. |
9. |
You should now be able to load that template again with the correct format (See Loading a Template) |
This method will not correctly restore the format if you have modified the settings and format of play.mmsw. In that case, use the re-install method above.
