Sorry bud, I think I just Googled for it. Here's one you could try. It has no trial period and is fully functional.

No sweat. Here's a link (http://www.script-o-rama.com/tv/tvscript.shtml)I go to a lot. I actually read the film scripts but this link is for tv scripts. You can browse them as references as far as their formatting styles.

Ian Pegler's software (http://members.madasafish.com/~iantopeg/SMDownload.htm) isn't too shabby either. He also has a nifty storyboarding program that runs in unison to his script writer.

And if you're going to script-o-rama. you better check out JoBlo (http://www.joblo.com/moviescripts.php) too for some scripts.
And last but certainly not least with dealing with screenwriting you have to check out Wordplay (http://www.wordplayer.com/columns/welcome.html), a website with tips and advice from the two guys that brought us Aladdin, Treasure Planet, Mask of Zorro, etc ;Ted Eliot and Terry Rosio.

Edit: I just took a harder look at the CES and it's far better but it's always fun to experiment. :) The storyboard program is still nice though

I use celtx, www.celtx.com (http://www.celtx.com) because it doesn't just write scripts, it also enebles you to write synopsis and character sheets and everything in one file with one program. And it's free. And it looks good. :)

I use Storyboards to develop my stories, but when i need to document scenes and dialogue, I second Celtx for the job.

There are macros for Word, but they hardly ever work.

Greg, did you ever try out the software that Vic gave you a link for? How is it to use? I've never used a script software before, and thought I'd just have to format it in Word.

So, did you use it, and what's your opinion on it?
