DREW NOAH: So I'm going to continue talking about the Screenplay Editor, and just give you an overview of these toolbar options. So the first thing you see is a little drop-down and these are your different script formatting options: Scene Heading, Action, Character, Dialog, Parenthetical, Transition, Shot, Text, and these are also available when you're typing. I kinda show you what that means later. But continue with the toolbar, just some basic options: Undo, Redo, Bold, Italic, Underline, and you have Uppercase and Lowercase. You might be wondering why they include this, it's because if you just want to highlight something and then uppercase it, that's how you would do it instead of having to retype it and put the caps lock on 'cause this is typically not available on your usual, like, text editor. Your other options are fairly simple: Cut, Copy and Paste. Of course, these all have your typical shortcuts as well. There is the Dual Dialog function and this is if you need to dual dialoguing your script. How you would do this is you highlight two pieces of dialogue just like that, hit your Dual Dialog button, and you can see the little icon popped up. And I'll show you how to use TypeSet later. But when you move to TypeSet, your more formal script, it's going to put it in the real Dual Dialog formatting where you see Dorothy and Scarecrow right next to each other. But going back to our toolbar, the next option is a Note. And this is a note right here. So I'm going to show you how to insert a note. Let's see, say, I'm going to put a note right here. I'm going to put my cursor right there, and I'm just going to hit the Note button, and then you can see it starts out. It's got a date and time, and I'm just gonna--you just write your note in and hit OK. And then you can see your little note pops up. And in your Script tab and Screenplay Editor, you can just add all your little notes. And you see I'll click on it and you could see what it is or you can edit it. You can also drag it around. You can see the little cursor following it and I can just drag it to wherever I need it. So you can use notes for whatever you need. You can see this note in the example. It's just talking about how the sound effect will be added in post-production, the sound effect in the script. Your next option, SpellCheck, very useful. Another standard, SpellCheck. Here's the Find and Replace option, and last is Remove Markup. Markup is being like when things are colored, you can add them to your Production Items list. And then, there's a Zoom In and Out function which is nice if you want to read it with some bigger text, basically. The last thing that--I can say this in the toolbar that this gets rid of your Production Item sidebar. So that's your toolbar options in your Screenplay Editor in Celtx.
