843.0. "Format for a Play Script?" by ATPS::MALLORY (You won't know if you don't ask.) Sat Aug 22 1987 23:16

    Does anyone have a document format that would be suitable for
    a SCRIPT (as in TV or PLAY?)  It doesnt seem to lend itself to either
    report or article - the tough thing are intersperesed stage directions
    etc....
    

    I've looked at the 'custom' design manual and get weak in the knees.
    
    Just curious...

    Try using a three-columned list, with the second column used to
    install a narrow space between the first and third columns.  I needed
    a similar format, although not for a script, and this arrangement
    worked well.  I also used bolding for what would become your character
    identifications.
    
    I'll forward the template I used.  If anyone else is interested
    send mail and I'll send it along or put it here as a reply to the
    note.
