"Hello, my name is Tony Ramirez from Tampa, Florida. And on behalf of Expert Village, this is "How to Write a Screenplay." Let's get started. Chapter Three: Fonts. There are a few rules that can't be broken, and this specifically is one of them. Fonts can't be anything funky, anything crazy, anything like that. The main font that you want to use - of course here we're using Microsoft Word, just to show you - is the Courier New font. So go ahead and choose that. Let's see here... I've got a million fonts for other stuff. Let's see...Courier New. This is basically your typewriter font, the same thing you'll see on a basic typewriter from back in the day. So, we have our font chosen, so we'll type in - let's just say - Expert Village. Expert Village, just like that. Now the size of the font that you want for all of the text that you're going to be using in your screenplay is a twelve point font. This is, by default, already chosen as twelve point, so we'll just leave it at that. But, of course, if you had to change it - if you are using Microsoft Word instead of an actual screenwriting software - you're going to want to go in here and choose twelve point font. So that's it right there. Your fonts cannot be changed. They have to be this exactly, which is your Courier New at twelve point. And those are your fonts."
