![]() If you have Word 2007 you can use the Word 2007 Screenplay with styles and hotkeys provided by Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen. ![]() If you have Word 2000 or XP (or even Word 97) you can use the Microsoft screenplay template. Microsoft provides two downloadable screenplay templates.Screenplay templates that I know about for Word include: But me, I’m a Word gal, and I write everything in Word, even scripts. If I wanted to write scripts for a living I’d go for Final Draft. If I was starting from scratch and just writing for Script Frenzy, I’d probably go for Celtx. Final Draft is a commercial product and costs around US$250. Celtx looks pretty good and from what I can see on the forum it’s free, or reasonably priced at least. ![]() For most people on Windows it comes down to Celtx or Final Draft. I was reading the Script Frenzy forums last night-anything but write more on my novel, and yes, I am procrastinating-in particular the What software do you use thread. I have never participated in Script Frenzy (yet), but one day I would like to. Those WriMos amongst us will know that they also do a companion challenge called Script Frenzy, which runs through April. I like the way it kick-starts my writing habits and makes me get down there and just write. This is slightly outside my normal posts about writing novels, but I am a big supporter of NaNoWriMo, even though some years I am too busy to actually participate. Unfortunately, the BBC doesn’t offer the Script Smart Gold template any more. I don’t know what it’s like, but you can get to it in Word and searching for “screenplay” in the online templates field to find it. Microsoft still offers a screenplay temple. This is an old post, and the links I blogged about here don’t exist any more, so I’m not going to fix them. A note, four years on, because many people still visit this page.
