Script Styles are the predefined paragraph styles that format a script. The style sets each paragraph’s margins, spacing, etc. These are set to match the format specified for a type of script.
Script Styles in Screen Writer Studio come in two flavors, standard and program (file). The standard styles are the four main styles; Screenplay, Sitcom (tape), Sitcom (film), & Stageplay. These four formats are stored as part of Screen Writer Studio and are always available.
Program styles are styles that are for a specific show or studio. Each style is a separate file. If you have the correct style file, you can load and use it. As shows come and go, style files for new shows are created and can be downloaded from our site as needed.
But if you don’t have a show’s style file, you cannot load it. Standard styles are always there while program styles require the appropriate file.
When you create a script or load a style, the style used is copied into the script. If you change that style later, it does not change the style in that script. The only way to have changes in a style applied to a script is to load that style into that script.
You can load, save, and edit both types of styles.
