The menus in Screenwriter 6.0 underwent a major reorganization. This was done for two reasons:
• |
To accommodate the NaviDoc and other new features in the menus. |
• |
We felt that many of the menu items were either non-intuitively named or placed and benefited from changing them. |
We believe this makes the program easier to use and learn. There is a new NaviDoc menu, renamed commands, and rearrangement of the commands. The Search and Spell menus have been removed. The Production and Window menus remain unchanged.
For current Screenwriter users, the table below should help your transition to the new arrangement. The table lists the menu items that have changed and identifies their new locations. After the table are screenshots of the new menus.
In the table below, new menu items are in BOLD ITALICS.
