Working with Script Text
The default font and font size for a script is established when you import the script, based on
the current Script settings. You can override the settings and change the font and size after
importing the script.
You can also cut, copy, paste, or remove selected lines of script to reflect changes that might
occur during the course of a project. Selecting text in the Script window is similar to making
selections in a word processor, except that the smallest unit you can select is an entire line of
text. You cannot select or otherwise manipulate individual characters or words.
n
To rearrange or rewrite individual words or characters in a script, make the changes in a
word processor, import them into a separate Script window, and then use the procedures in
this topic to copy and paste the new lines into the existing Script window, overwriting the
incorrect lines.
c
You cannot undo cut, copy, or paste operations in the Script window.
To change the font and font size of imported script:
1. Select Edit > Set Font.
The Set Font dialog box opens.
2. Click the Font menu, and select a new font.
The menu includes all fonts currently installed on your system.
3. Type a new font size in the text box, and click OK.
The Script window reflects the new settings.
