![]() If you write an action line for example, and then hit enter, the program jumps to the next action element. Many screenplay writing applications use the “Enter” and “Tab” keys to jump between the different formatting elements, and this also works here. You see, the “Action” element is highlighted in the line types on the left. If you now type in a scene heading, and you hit “Enter”, you jump to the next paragraph, and this is automatically an action element. That’s because screenplays usually start with a scene heading element, so this is what WriterDuet gives you right from the start. If you now take a look at the left side at the line types that we have available, you see that at the top it says “Scene” and that “Scene” element is highlighted. Because that speech bubble is going to be there with every element on the page that you create, so you know from the start what it does. If you click this, you get options for comments, revision history and tagging.ĭon’t worry about what all of that is right now, we’ll look into that another time, but for now, just know that it’s there. Since there’s nothing on the page yet, by logic, it’s going to be the first line that is colored.Īlso, at the left side of the page you see this little speech bubble. When you create a new document, you see this empty page and it has one colored line. So, let’s see how you can actually do some writing in WriterDuet. If you don’t, no problem, there is an article that explains it, if you’re not sure what all these different script elements to you can go and read that first. ![]() I’m assuming that you have basic knowledge of what the different screenplay formatting elements are and what their purpose is. OK, so let’s get back to the screenplay document. So, all the rules that apply to using the screenplay formatting elements that we will look at in a second, also apply here, it’s just that the names might be a bit differnt, and of course the formatting itself will be adapted to book formatting, not to screenplay formatting.īut having gone through this article you’ll easily be able to use all of these. Let’s take a look at the book template for a second, if you create a new document with the book template, and then in the sidebar you click on the “Line Types” icon, you see that you have different formatting presets there, like headings, chapters, and so on. I will show it to you with the example of a screenplay, but when you’re using WriterDuet to write a book it’s even easier because you don’t have so many different formatting elements. But I don’t know if they will change that in the future.Īnyway, the way the formatting features work in the program is always the same. I’m working on a free account here in this case, so at the time of this recording it works. They seem to have opened that up a bit, because now you can create more documents even with a free account. A while back that was restricted to the standard three documents, namely Main Document, Title Page, and Private Pad for free accounts. One thing that you might already be aware of is that you can create several documents inside one WriterDuet project. ![]() So, let’s look at how you can use WriterDuet’s Editor and formatting features to write your draft. I have already written several articles about different functions in WriterDuet, but this time I want to focus on the most important part of all, which is the actual writing.
