A screenplay is a sequence of clear signals. Scene headings,

2
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,360
action and dialogue tell the reader what to see and

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,260
hear. In the toolbar, to the left of the LTR/RTL

4
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:15,900
switch, sits a drop-down menu. It always shows the type

5
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:19,140
of the paragraph your cursor is currently in. Open it

6
00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:22,440
and you see all seven possibilities. You will need the

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,980
format selector less often than you think. When you press

8
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:29,480
Enter at the end of a paragraph, Federio Dramatize starts

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,060
the next paragraph in the fitting type straight away. After

10
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:36,400
a scene heading comes action, after a character name comes

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,780
dialogue, after dialogue comes action again. You do not have

12
00:00:40,780 --> 00:00:44,100
to type scene headings and character names in capitals yourself;

13
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:47,380
Federio Dramatize does that as soon as the paragraph type

14
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:51,960
is set. Federio Dramatize also sets the indents, the distances

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,320
from the page margin, by itself. So never try to

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,760
push a paragraph into the middle with spaces or tabs.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,060
Try these tools on a copy of your screenplay. Keep

18
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:04,580
what helps your writing, and return to the guide whenever

19
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:05,560
you need the details.
