Screenwriting
Quick Celtx question
I'm a Moviemagic kind of guy, willing to slum it with Final Draft because so many of my students are using it, but now one of my UCR students has sent me a script in Celtx. I downloaded the software so I could read the script, but this thing is making me nuts. Is there any way to display page numbers in the file? The only way I have to judge how far I am into the script is the little scroll bar box on the side, and that's hardly a precision measuring tool. And is it possible to close the stupid Project Library and Scenes boxes on the left? There are xes at the top of each, but they're grayed out and non- functioning...

Try reading it through the Print Preview. A pain, I know, but other than the macros, you get what you pay for with Celtx.

You can also export as .pdf or use the typeset. Don't know anything about the other boxes.

If you're in Celtx you can save it as a PDF file. I think that numbers the pages for you.

You beat me do it. (And to answer my own question printing to PDF does number the pages.)

Kind of defeats the whole idea of giving notes on the page, though...

I'm MMS too, and very low-tech - I'd ask the student to print out his script and give/ send it to you - you don't need to learn a whole new program for one student. Ask him

Thanks for all your help!
