Movie Magic Screenwriter

If checked, displays the hidden format codes embedded in the text of your document by Screenwriter for such things as text styles (Bold, Italic, etc.), text color and other formatting codes.  In normal use, you won't need to be aware of these codes.  Unchecked, the format codes are hidden and do not display onscreen.
