page: scene headings stand on the right, dialogues are indented

00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040
from the right, the ruler runs from right to left,

13

page numbers and the scene navigator follow. The abbreviations for

00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:02,280
interior and exterior are recognised in the respective language, for

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,380
from DOCX, RTF, TXT or PDF, Federio Dramatize guesses the

language from the text. Check the guess in the page

settings, especially with mixed texts. The writing direction alone says

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,380
nothing about the language: an Arabic and a Persian screenplay

21
00:01:29,380 --> 00:01:32,640
both run from right to left but need different dictionaries

00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,960

screenplay. Keep what helps your writing, and return to the
