I don't think there is a thread for this, so I'm posting one.

Use this thread to post any tips you have for Final Draft.

Thanks,

Final Drafthas its own "tip of the day" that's pretty good.

Go to Help in FD and then Tip of the day. There you can turn it on or off.

Yeah, I second that.  I've had FD for about a month and a half now and it's a godsend.  I was getting so sick and tired of trying to figure out all of Word's quirks.  I feel like I've been promoted since switching over

Now if only Final Draft could write my script for me...

What about the other writing programs?

Another note about Final Draft-If you are a college student or faculty you can order a full version at a discounted price. Check your campus bookstore or http://www.academicsuperstore.com...Great program.

Tried Celtx, but not that deeply...however it is free, so you can't beat the price...it's at http://www.celtx.com and is Mac and PC compatable.

Curious about Dramatica Pro...Looks like fun and a usefull tool for testing story ideas.

Dramatica Pro is fun and interesting, but the learning curve is steep.

Celtx is pretty cool as is Movie Magic. But I'll admit, I'm a Final Draft man from the start.
