Request: Word export in Hollywood screenplay format

Mon 23. Jan 2017, 01:15

Hoping this is an easy fix...would it be possible to have a few extra options on the Word export tab, so that we can get scripts formatted closer to the very strict standard Hollywood script format?
Obviously you would still need to insert branches (which would be fine in the existing signature orange formatting), but it would make the bulk of the dialogue much easier for actors to read and directors to estimate recording times, if it was in the traditional black 11pt Courier with no icons...

Hi Winterblood,

Sorry for the late reply. Have you tried the "Flow to Word" export (instead of the generic Word export)? It's not Courier 11pt (it's Calibri 11pt), but as you get all the dialogues to Word you can then easily change the formatting.
Unfortunately, this export is a bit hidden as it is not available in the main export menu. This help center article should give you all the information you need: http://www.nevigo.com/help/Exports_FlowToWord.html

If this is not solving the problem for you, please let me know.

I second Winterblood's request, but even with the Flow to Word export, Flow Fragment and Dialogue titles are exported to Word as headings, which are not necessary for screenplay format (or, subsequently, for time estimations or VO recordings).

Hi MAnnetta,

could you specify what exactly do you mean when you say ... [...] are exported as headings, which are not necessary [...].
Does that mean formatting as a headline is not needed or defining this part as a headline is unnecessary?

But in both cases - what Julius said applies here too, right? Changing the respective style sheets in Word does do the trick? No?
