Hi Mr. Diggs, I'm an Aspiring Screenwriter too.  Have not had the chance to read your screenplay as of yet, but I just wanted to make a friendly suggestion.  I use Celtx for my screenplay writing.  It's FREE and it does exactly what I need it to do.

I promise, you wont be disappointed.  It took me a few minutes to get the feel of it, plus reading several screenplays help also.  It will help out with your formatting issues, and you can also save your screenplay in PDF.

Glancing more at your screenplay, I also like to personally recommend this book for your viewing and learning pleasures:  

http://www.amazon.com/Screenwriters-Bible-Complete-Formatting-SCREENWRITERS/dp/B001TJZOF2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321926172&sr=8-2

I've learned a lot from this book alone, and still learning.  I'm new at this, but it seems as if you're trying to direct your screenplay as well as tell your story.  Leave the directing to the Directors....  

Dawn  :)
