I just started using Final Draft and one of my scripts has purple outlines here and there and I cannot get rid of it. Can someone tell me what it is and if I can get rid of it?

I only have one that this has happened with. I have made so many changes to it and I don't know if that is what is going on or not.

It might be the Highlighter, Tasha McLemore. Go to "Format," then find the "Text" area and click "Highlighter." In the "Highlighter" dropdown menu, click "None" to get rid of the highlight.

it's highlighting possible typos. try adding a comma after that please?
I'm guessing you don't actually want the pause that a comma adds, but until you can figure out how to allow certain rules in final draft (I haven't yet) it might be a quick fix!
ooh a hyphen might just work better though, and it omits the longer pause a comma might have.

... Yes, readtrough.com showed me when there is a pause / intonation difference through adding a comma or hyphen. (Then again, comma / hyphen -- or not, often the spoken intonation, especially with narrative, is wrong.)

I never seen that in Final Draft. Do you have some other grammar program that might be running on Final Draft?

Grammarly, but it only happens with this one script.
Is the purple outline still there, Tasha McLemore?
