    This is a template for writing a script in MS Word.

    Make a copy, and save it as a Document Template (.dot) for


    use in writing your feature scripts. Each time you start a
    new script, just delete these words and start writing
    selecting the appropriate paragraph style as you go.

    The paragraph styles are as follows:

    Character
    Description
    Dialogue
    Parenthesis
    Slug Line
    Transition
    FADE IN:

    1. SLUG LINE

    This gives you the scene header (eg 1. INT. ROOM – DAY)
    and then when you press ENTER or RETURN automatically sets
    up the next line for the descriptions.

    Use Description style for all the description of action,


    visuals, sound, etc.

    CHARACTER STYLE
    Gives you the name of someone speaking
    and when you press ENTER or RETURN
    automatically sets up the Dialogue
    style for speech.
    (parenthesis style - use rarely!)
    Parenthesis style also automatically
    sets up Dialogue on hitting RETURN.

    And Transition style is for, well, transitions such as:

    FADE OUT:

    That’s it.

    RECOMMENDATIONS:

    1. Turn off the automatic numbering on the slug line


    style for every draft except shooting script. (Check
    help to see how to do this for your version of Word).

    2. Use the Format/Style menu option to set up shortcut


    keys for each style for ease of use.
