• Script Wizard is seamlessly integrated
Scriptwriting Toolbars and menus appear only when Script Wizard files are opened, and disappear again when they are closed. Display options are maintained separately from those which the user sets for work in basic Word For Windows. And you can run as many other add-ons and add-ins as your computer’s working memory will allow.

• Script Wizard files travel well
When a script is written in Microsoft Word, it can go anywhere, anytime, via fax, modem, or hardcopy. It can be attached to email. Anyone with any version of Word or Word Perfect can download, read and/or print it. Any producer can import and export Script Wizard files to and from any standalone program.

• Tools for formatting while writing
Shortcut keys and toolbar buttons make writing and formatting scripts quick and easy. Use a single Ctrl-key combination or click once on a toolbar button to format sluglines, action, character names, dialog, parenthetic notes and transitions. All standard script notations are typed for you. The Character editor stores repeatedly-used character names for writing dialogue; select a key code, a toolbar button or a menu item to have the formatted character's name entered into your script automatically.

• Tools for making page breaks
Completely automated script processing utilities prepare your scripts for printing. Script Wizard makes intelligent page breaks for scenes and transitions, and inserts (MORE) and NAME (CONT'D) when dialogue is split across pages. Page break options include Top/Bottom Continueds and global page headers. Automatic and manual processing available.

• Tools for numbering scenes
For features, TV movies and hour episodic: Automatic and Manual scene numbering options let you add (and remove) scene numbers, in either the Left, Right or Both margins, using either conventional or unique numbering schemes.

For Sitcoms, Daytime soap, and stage plays: Automated procedures for including Act and Scene numbers in page headers are available for all TV and stage script formats.

• Tools for revisions and re-writes
A single hot key creates revised page headers and makes ‘A’ pages as needed. Mark Change symbols (revision bar) can be placed in either the left or right page margins, revised text can be set off from old with bold, italics, underlining or double-underlining -- automatically! Scene numbers are added (A/B), omitted or edited at the touch of a toolbar button.

• Plus . . . scene lists, cast lists, and sides. Enter a name or location (or any other script reference), and the Excerpt utility will search for and copy all paragraphs which include that text to a separate excerpt file. Page numbers can be included after each paragraph for cross-reference. Use it to review one character's dialogue or to generate casting 'sides'. bookmarks placed when you quit work today allow you to come back to the exact same place in your file tomorrow. instant scenarios or act/scene breakdowns are available simply by shifting into Outline view. page count is on screen on the status line at all times. on-screen notepad files are automatically time stamped each time you open them.

Praise for Script Wizard
"Script Wizard provides exactly what every screenwriter should be looking for ... a script writing program that not only serves their needs today, but provides them room to grow as they join the ranks of the professional writer. No one should have to get used to a brand new stand-alone program later in their career simply because they couldn't afford it sooner, particularly since they can get the best of both worlds today at an affordable price." ~ New York Screenwriter Monthly

"...very easy to learn and use ... it has built-in formats for one of the widest variety of script formats I found ... well documented." ~ The Journal of The Writers Guild of America

"... idiot-proof ... really understands the inherent nuances of screenplay writing ... if you are working in Word for Windows and are frustrated with futzing around with screenplay formatting, Script Wizard is a powerful tool -- smart, intuitive and comprehensive in the ways of the scriptwriting process .. very simple to run." ~ Video/Tape World

"...the most versatile script writing program on the market." ~ Personal Computers (syndicated column)
