More Than Style Formats
Script Werx is a package of 12 templates, each of which customizes Microsoft Word™ far beyond the styles and recorded macros that are the limit of how Word is typically customized.
Every template provides up to 3 new toolbars, a Script Werx menu and dozens of new shortcuts and tools, most of which are complete with dialog boxes and on-screen instructions. Each of the six script templates makes it easy to:
  • Add character names to a toolbar and/or menu
  • Enter character cues with a single click or key combination
  • Compile often-used words or phrases that can then be used in your script by pressing a single key combination
  • Customize templates with headers, footers and cover sheets that will then be automatically included on every script you create
  • Have scripts generate their own:
  • TelePrompTer Text
  • Scene lists from screenplays
  • Shot lists from video scripts
  • Storyboards

    Character Names--Names can be easily added to a Character Toolbar and/or menu. Once on the toolbar, simply click the appropriate button or press a key combination to have the character name entered into your script--properly formated--at the current cursor position.



    In the Add Character Cue dialog box, simply type in a character name. Automatically, the name will be added to the Character Toolbar and a key combination will be created using the first letter of the name. This dialog also provides several over-rides that let you:
    • Enter a shorter name to appear on the toolbar
    • Chose a different letter for the key combination
    • Chose different modifier keys for the key combination
    • Add the name as an AutoCorrect entry
    • Control the abbreviation for the new AutoCorrect Entry
    Often-Used Words--Script Werx makes it easier to assign keyboard shortcuts to often-used words or phrases.



    In the Often-Used Words dialog box, simply type in a word or phrase. Automatically, a key combination will be created using the first letter of the name. This dialog also provides several over-rides that let you:
    • Chose a different letter for the key combination
    • Chose different modifier keys for the key combination
    • Add the name as an AutoCorrect entry
    • Control the abbreviation for the new AutoCorrect Entry
    Follows Industry Standards
    Whether you're writing a screenplay or a corporate video, you won't have to worry about margins, styles or formatting. Script Werx ensures that your script projects a professional image. The screenplay and teleplay formats are based on Guidelines from the Writers Guild of America and The Complete Guide to Standard Script Formats, by Cole/Haag (the defacto standard for the entertainment industry). The corporate video formats are based on over 20 years of experience writing video scripts for the corporate market.

    How It's Used
    Script Werx is a set of 12 templates that install themselves in your Word folder. Then, simply select New from the File menu. A list of all templates will appear. Double click on the one you want and start writing. All of the styles and formatting are built in. Shortcuts are available from a special Script Werx toolbar and menu. Dozens of keyboard combinations provide additional options for using shortcuts. The more comprehensive shortcuts include on-screen instructions and help screens to walk you through the procedures without having to resort to the user's guide.

    Fully Compatible--Any script created with Script Werx is a standard Microsoft Word™ file, which can be opened and edited on any computer (Mac or Windows) using the appropriate version of Word. All styles stay with the script itself, so the recipient sees exactly what you created on your computer and any revisions made will be in the correct format.

    Revisions--Using Word's revision features, revisions can be made in a distinctive color, giving you the ability to easily spot every revision and accept or reject revisions on an individual basis.

    Anyone using Microsoft Word™ to write scripts for feature films, teleplays, speaker support, documentaries or corporate video.
