SUMMARY

Scriptor, a script writing program by ScreenPlay Systems, formats documents created with a word processor and prints them according to individual specifications. Scriptor comes with a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh Settings file that contains a "Scriptor" style sheet. Using this file causes Word to open your document with certain margin settings and then Scriptor inserts page breaks and other specified formatting instructions. After desired changes have been made, Scriptor generates a formatted file without changing the original file. Both of these files are normal Word documents and can be opened, edited, and printed from within Word.
