Screenwriting : Transferring from WORD by Eugene Bruce

Transferring from WORD

Hi all, I'm Eugene and I'm new. Some of my old scripts that I've been going through are in WORD. Does anybody know of a script program where i can cut and paste my scripts too? Saves typing them all over again. Thanks in advance.

Matthew Parvin

Welcome Eugene! Nice to meet you. Glad you're here.

You should try out Arc Studio Pro arcstudiopro.com

The other option is to get the newest Final Draft, but Arc Studio Pro has a free option and they will let you c+p.

Hey, Eugene Bruce. You can save the Word file as a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file or a Plain Text (.txt) file, then open it with the Final Draft screenwriting software. You might have to reformat some of the script, but it's faster than retyping the entire thing.

Eugene Bruce

Thank you, folks! I'll try those suggestions!
