Page View and Endless Scroll

We have two ways for you to view your script on screen

View page breaks or hide them and save space

In screenwriting, being able to see how pages break is meaningful, partly due to Industry standards that keep character names with dialogue and scene headings with action, among other screenplay-specific requirements. As such, being able to see each page as a complete page as a writer writes is often desireable and the normal state for all screenwriting software.

However, considering many computer screens are moderately sized, being able to hide the space that the breaks (and MOREs and CONT'Ds and page numbers) take up can be useful in many situations. To allow for that, we have two different view settings:

Page View

This view displays your screenplay with page breaks, Mores & Continueds (if set), Headers & Footers (if set) and Page Numbers (again, if set). This lets you see the script as it would be printed, with paragraphs being displayed using proper Industry-standard pagination as you type:

Endless Scroll

In addition, Script360 allows you to just display the script without any of the page breaks to hide the space that is taken up by the page breaks. You can use this to maximize your screen or when initially typing your script, where knowing how the pages will be laid out is less critical:

Note: Even when displaying the script with the Endless Scroll view, our editor will keep track of the page count, which is shown in the bottom-left corner of the editor:

When Printing or Saving to PDF:

Keep in mind that to print your script or to save it as a PDF, you must be viewing your script in Page View. You will get a warning message if you try to print or save to PDF when it is shown in Endless Scroll.

Swtching between Views

In the icon bar to the left of the screenplay, there are two icons together that control the current view:

To switch from one view to the other, just click on the desired icon.
