Can anyone tell me how to transfer a Scriptware file into something greenlight can receive and read? I called them and they don't know. I have Adobe already. Would I take Scriptware to ASCII and then into a word program (I have only Word Perfect) and then into Adobe and then to greenlight. I really want to enter this contest and am frustrated about exactly how to do it. Thanks anyone who can help me. IP: Logged |

That's exactly it. I have Scriptware and all I did was export it out and save it to my desktop as an ASCII file. Then I followed the instructions to convert it into a PDF in the Adobe program. You don't have to convert it into a word program. IP: Logged |

I did mine twice from Scriptware, and the absolute best way to do it is to export from Scriptware as a Text WITH page breaks, then open it up in your word processor to convert. Mine stayed the exact same length as it was in its original form. Something I -didn't- catch the first time around, though, is that Scriptware "helpfully" strips all the page numbers off when you do it this way. You might give it a whack and add the page numbers in once you have it in WP, before you convert to PDF. IP: Logged |
