Preview your script

Before printing, exporting or creating a PDF file, it is always a good idea to preview your script with SceneWriter Pro's built-in What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) print preview feature. This print preview will render your script on screen exactly as it would be printed.

To preview your script, from the File menu, choose "Print Preview..." a window will appear asking you if you'd like to preview only the scene that's currently highlighted, or the entire project:

As we've only created one scene, select the first option and press OK. The preview window will then be displayed.

Using Print Preview

• To magnify, right click on the page.
• To move up and down through the pages, either click on the navigation buttons in the top tool bar, or use the PgUp and PgDn buttons on your keyboard.
• To scroll up and down the page, simply click and drag.
