ScriptE for iPad: Change Script Page Breaks

IDENTIFYING PAGE BREAKS

1. A red line in the script indicates a page break. The number on each side of the line indicates which page the subsequent paragraphs will be printed to.

If your production has unlocked the script pages between script revisions, seemingly random page breaks might appear. This will cause your lined script pages to not export correctly.

You can fix this manually, but it can be very time consuming, so do encourage production follow proper script formatting protocols and not unlock the pages between revisions.

REMOVE PAGE BREAK

2. Tap EDIT.

3. Tap on the paragraph you want to move to another page.

4. The paragraph selected will be highlighted in yellow, so you know that you selected the correct one.

5. Change the page number in the PAGE BOX

7. The page break is now gone, and all subsequent paragraphs are on the page you entered.

8. If you have too many paragraphs on the same page, ScriptE will print continued pages.

You may need to insert new page breaks to avoid this. To determine this, preview the script.
