    I believe he uses the Final Draft screenwriting program. I was thinking about buying a copy. Has anyone around here used it before?

    If you do screenwriting, it is a lot easier to use this product than trying to do styles in MS Word, especially when you have a lot of short dialogs or you want to highlight a specific part. A very good product for what it does (ie. its not a word processor for writing a novel). But don't believe me, find out for yourself. They do have a demo you can download from www.finaldraft.com

    Thanks. Yeah, I've been writing all my scripts using Word. Everyone looks at me crazy when I tell them that and I wasn't really aware of how much extra work I was creating for myself. I think I'll download the demo this afternoon.

    Final Draft is pretty good, feature-wise, but it's really poorly ported to OS X. Sophocles for Windows looks really nice, but it's not available for Mac.



    I own Final Draft, however, and use it often. Works well for what I need it for, and it's a hell of a lot easier than trying to format in a normal text editor.
