Free Screenwriting Software
What is ScreenStyle
software?
ScreenStyle is a screenwriting software
program that turns Microsoft Word into a basic screenplay formatter. ScreenStyle
software has been used by over 200,000 screenwriters over the past 15 years. You
must have Microsoft Word or Office for PC or Mac. ScreenStyle will not work on
any other program.
Does it really work?
Yes. ScreenStyle makes the writing of a screenplay easier,
faster, and worry-free. When you print your screenplay, you will have a
screenplay formatted exactly to Hollywood standards.
Does
it work outside the United States?
We make no
guarantees. Certainly screenwriters from all over the world have used
ScreenStyle. However, due to variations in paper size, font size, and formatting
standards, ScreenStyle may not work on a non-U.S. version of Microsoft Word. Is
it easy to use? It depends upon your computer skills. If you're uncomfortable
downloading software or have never worked with a Microsoft Word template, then
perhaps this program isn't for you. We are unable to offer any technical support
on this free offer. However, you can download the ScreenStyle manual first and
make your decision.
Is it really free?
Yes. It's free. You can use it forever and ever. However, by downloading
this software you agree this software is for your own personal use. You can't
redistribute it, sell it, package it, or anything else. You can certainly send
all your friends here though.
What if I don't want to
download the software but want to receive it in the mail?
You can purchase ScreenStyle and we're happy to send you the complete
manual, CD, and offer e-mail support to you. The download version is absolutely
free.
How does it compare to Final Draft or Movie Magic
Screenwriter?
It doesn't. ScreenStyle is a basic,
low-budget program designed for beginning screenwriters. There are no fancy
outlining features, you can't save your script as a PDF, and you can't do a
complete script breakdown. If Final Draft is a Mercedes and Movie Magic
Screenwriter is a BMW, then ScreenStyle is the used station wagon my father
bought me in high school. And like he said, "Don't complain. It's free and it's
wheels."
Why are you giving it away?
We've been selling screenwriting software for almost 10 years.
ScreenStyle is an excellent introduction to screenwriting software. We've found
that many of our ScreenStyle users reach its limitations and then buy Final
Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter from us. And we hope you do too.
Can I import my ScreenStyle project into Final Draft or
Movie Magic Screenwriter?
Easily and quickly. Both
Final Draft and Screenwriter have a "convert to script" feature that makes it
very easy to import your ScreenStyle script into Final Draft or Screenwriter. It
takes less than a minute to import your entire script.
Can I e-mail my script to someone that doesn't have
ScreenStyle?
Yes. If that person
has Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter, they can easily open your script
written in ScreenStyle. If they have Microsoft Word, they can also read your
script correctly. What else should I know about ScreenStyle? ScreenStyle is a
template for Microsoft Word. It is not an executable program. If you've changed
the location of your template directory, then you'll have to manually install
ScreenStyle and the auto-installer won't work. Instructions are included in the
ScreenStyle manual.
