Script Software
ScriptWizard
For those of you who have questions about script formatting, or asking about recommendations for screenwriting software, I am now offering excellent and affordable software, one that I've been using happily for over a decade. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can use ScriptWizard. It's that simple.
So what does ScriptWizard do? First of all, you have a choice of Screenplay, TV, Sitcom, Stage Play and advertising formats, with preset margins. You can also import your existing scripts from Microsoft Word and other programs. With a few easy-to-learn keystrokes, you will be able to insert character names, format for dialogue or action, interior or exterior shots, cuts, montages, even scene numbers - you name it, ScriptWizard gives you a way to do it. And the beauty of it is that you don't have to remember any of the commands, they're all on the screen.
Because ScriptWizard is an add-on to Microsoft Word, it makes it easy to work cross-platform with a writing partner, whether across the room or across the globe. Another really useful feature is the computer index card, giving you a global look at your script in outline or index card form, so that you can rearrange and edit your scenes and outlines without paging through the entire script, or printing hard copy (or accumulating piles of cards and papers on your desk). Have an idea while you're writing, but not sure about where you want to use it? There's a place to save it in ScriptWizard. And ScriptWizard makes the technical aspect of screenwriting something you won't even have to think about.
Whether you're a new screenwriter or contemplating buying new screenwriting software, trust me, ScriptWizard will do everything you need it to do. And the beauty of it is - it's one third the cost of some of the standalone programs! If you have Microsoft Word, you already know how to use this software. (if you're a Mac user, sorry - this is not a product for you). Just click on the ad for more information, or to buy ScriptWizard directly from this site. And good luck!

Script Wizard Is It Right For Me? * Do you currently have and use Microsoft Word for Windows? Add-ons vs Standalones Which is better? The vast majority of Script Wizard users -- especially those who have been upgrading with us for the past twelve years -- are writers who want to have one program to manage all their writing assignments. From a survey we conducted a few years ago, our average user has been writing scripts professionally for over five years and the thing they love most about Script Wizard is that it works so seamlessly inside Word For Windows. These users are not Microsoft- or Word-phobic, they know a great tool when they use it, and they want to be working in the full-service word processing environment all the time. Our reviewers can provide you with other excellent reasons to buy an add-on. Writing for New York Screenwriter Magazine, Ed Walloga has particularly cogent arguments for new and student screenwriters. In his review for Video Tape World, Sam Scribner made the case for older, more experienced writers. But all of the reviewers have something to say about this and you should take a moment to read some of their opinions. What's wrong with a stand-alone program? Nothing. Every feature that really matters to a script writer is present in every program on the market. All the other script writing features are "bells and whistles." What distinguishes "add-ons" from "stand-alones" is the way they do things. A word processor or script processor is a very personal tool, no less than the typewriter that preceded them, and each writer must choose the tool that suits them best. Any vendor who says otherwise is doing a product promotion; any retailer who says otherwise is doing a price promotion; any professional writer who says otherwise is proselytizing. Are there people who just should not use Script Wizard? Yes, people who have tried Word (almost any version) and hated it. Anyone else? No. |
