For something so simple, screenplays seem awfully tough for word processors to handle. Sure, you can go out and spend a couple or a few hundred dollars on a specialized screenplay-formatting program for Windows, but do you really want to do that if you already have a full-featured word processor like Microsoft Word? Do you need to?

Not anymore. Script Genie extends the capabilities of Microsoft Word to allow you to easily manage writing your screenplays, complete with automatic formatting of scene headers, dialogue, and other script elements. It allows you to create lists of character and location names for quick reference and one-click entry, as well as allowing you to easily rearrange the order of scenes and generate numbered scenes for shooting scripts. And Script Genie files can be easily loaded into a wide variety of word processors or script-formatting programs.
