FONT ALTERNATIVES
It has been suggusted that "New Couirer" font once printed may appear to light, and as an alternative "spindoctor" had suggusted using "Courier10 BT", and due to legal consideration I have not included it in this release, but for those interested the font can be found at:

OVERVIEW
OOScript is a screenplay formating template for OpenOffice.org's Writer program. The Template is CURRENTLY set to page and paragraph standards of 10 film industry paragraph elements, and one NOTE element if needed.

INSTALLATION 
Place the "ooScript15ME.stw" in your OpenOffice Template directory. The template will then be avaible through STYLES > PAGE STYLES, or from NEW > TEMPLATES AND DOCUMENTS.

For WINDOWS users you can also double-click on the template file, whick will create a new document formated to the template.

USAGE
The STYLE dialog box needs to be open (F11) and set to "CUSTOM STYLE", and have "PARAGRAPH STYLES" showing for navagation.

Pressing [ENTER] after some of the selected PARAGRAPH STYLES will bring you to the next "most likely" PARAGRAPH STYLE.

For example, if you type in your SLUGLINE (paragraph style) and press [ENTER] it will bring you down to the ACTION (paragraph style), and pressing enter again will bring you down a line and leve you in ACTION.  From there if you wanted to start your CHARACTER DIALOG you would have to double click on CHARACTER style in the STYLE dialog box, type you name, press [ENTER] which will move you down to the DIALOG style and write your DIALOG.  Pressing [ENTER] from here will bring you to the next CHARACTER style, and will loop between the two untill you double-click a new PARAGRAPH STYLE.

!ALWAYS press [ENTER] before you start an new paragraph style!
