What Does a Script Formatter Do?
Writing scripts for film, television, and theater has traditionally been a time-consuming task. There are many
elements in a script that must be correctly placed in your script. Following these conventions is essential in
making sure your script is receiving proper attention from agents, producers and contests.
Screenwriter 6 works by your side, automatically formatting action, character name, dialog and other elements
as you write your script. Even better, there are no function keys or special command keys to memorize-your
fingers stay on the keyboard, always ready for creative thoughts to flow onto the page!
FREE Technical Support!
Unlike Final Draft, technical support for Movie Magic Screenwriter is provided at no additional charge. Whether
you call by phone, fax or email your questions, or visit our first rate support web site, you are not charged by
the minute (or at all) for technical support.

3. Why Movie Magic Screenwriter?
All writing tools are not created equal. Naturally, Screenwriter uses a simple TAB-ENTER system to quickly get
your creative thoughts flowing into the computer. Screenwriter has index cards, script notes, simple entry of
character names, spell-checking, and of course, smart margin changing. The comparison ends here.

registration, and export to Adobe Acrobat PDF format; superior production features, such as built-in script
breakdown and detailed export to Movie Magic Scheduling; Script Analysis features; and the finest import and
