Scene Heading, also called a Slugline, designates the beginning of a scene.  It tells the reader if the scene is interior (INT.) or exterior (EXT.), and where and when the scene takes place.

A Pop-up list displays, with Initial Scene Heading Text options.

You can either click on a pop-up list item with the mouse or press the Hot Key (designated by the underline) for that item.   For example, type “e” for EXT to enter “EXT.” and the correct spacing following it.  (Type “v” for Never mind to Cancel, or press ESC.)
