Automaticly drag lonely scene headings to the following page.

Apr 11, 2012 11:19 AM

Hi,

 

I really really need Sdobe Script to be able to automaticly drag lonely scene headings to the following page.

This is VERY significant error in the Adobe Script... at least I cant find any option to enable it...

 

Manually addind (ctrl+enter) empty rows is not a real solution... imagine having a 120 page script and you have to make

a one word change in page 3 and this adds one row... then you would have to scroll through every single page break again

to check for LONELY SCENE HEADINGS. They simply cannot exist in the end of the page alone as they now do!

 

It is an absolute must to have an option to enable AUTOMATIC DRAG OF LONELY SCENE HEADING to next page.

 

PLEASE!

 

Otherwise thank you for really nice application. Sometimes both the desktop and browser versions "jam" and start to

function reaaaaaaly slow. I'll try to find out when this happens and post more info later.

    You can do this by creating a custom template. Click on Edit->Template after opening your script.

     

    We do this for some of the TV script templates already.

    Thanks,

     

    I checked the option "start new page" for Scene headings but its not quite what I meant. Now it starts a new page for every single scene heading.

     

    The thing is I only want it to move the scene heading to the next page if/when it is left "alone" in the bottom of a page.

     

    For example in the following situation I would want to have the Scene heading to jump on the next page. Because the action description or character name will not fit on the same (cuurent) page with it.

     

     

    ....

    ------------------PAGE BREAK--------------------

     

    An important question is being asked and the crowd waits in agony.

    It seems that the lonely scene headings cannot jump to the next page

    to join the action description.

    The rule could be something like:

     

    If empty available rows below Scene heading < 2 then move Scene heading to the start of next page.

    I am experiencing the same issue. This is a serious flaw in an otherwise good product. Professional formatting should be the first thing Adobe works on before adding all the bells and whistles.

     

    Please correct this issue ASAP.
