Maybe they could point me in the right direction(s): While I own two of the better known, dedicated screenplay/scripting packages for Windows/DOS based computers, it occurs to me that I might have better luck were I able to customize a bit more. (As anyone who has written for the screens knows, we are all partial to our own individual idiosyncracies in styl e and format). I thought that one way to acheive such a level of customization would be through a "template" in a powerful word processor. (Generally, I use Microsoft Word for Windows 6.0 for my word processing pursuits). In any case, I can't help thinking that someone has beaten me to the punch here, and there has got to be a few worthy templates for screenplays floating around. I'd be interested in acquiring whatever you've got or can get, or can direct me to. If I could come up with one, and then modify it to my own tastes, I'd be in very good shape. Incidentally, for those of you who use dedicated screen writing applications, which do you find the most powerful, and/or easiest to use? Thanks, Michael D. Klenner [log in to unmask]
