ScriptE for iPad: Change Script Page Breaks

1. Identify script pages and page breaks

1. Select the scene.

2. Look at the PAGE BOX to see which page the scene starts on.

The number in the page box indicates which page the the scene header (INT/EXT. LOCATION - D/N) with be printed on.

It's very important that this corresponds with the first page number in the script.

3. A red line in the script indicates a page break. The number on each side of the line indicates which page the subsequent paragraphs will be printed to.

If your production has unlocked the script pages between script revisions, seemingly random page breaks might appear. This will cause your lined script pages to not export correctly.

You can fix this manually, but it can be very time consuming, so do encourage production follow proper script formatting protocols and not unlock the pages between revisions.

2. Remove page break

4. Tap EDIT.

5. Tap on the paragraph you want to move to another page.

6. The paragraph selected will be highlighted in yellow, so you know that you selected the correct one.
