Welcome to GScript version 2.0
This readme contains the following information:
FILES
ADDENDUM TO THE DOCUMENTATION
NOTES ON FILE SIZE AND PICTURES
CONVERSION OF GSCRIPT 1.X FILES
FILES======================================================
GSCRIPT.DOT -- the template containing all the macros and style
definitions for entering and formatting a screenplay.
THIS FILE SHOULD BE IN YOUR DOT-PATH -- that is, in the
directory containing your other DOT files.
GSCRIPT.HLP -- a Windows Help file.
THIS FILE SHOULD BE IN YOUR WINWORD DIRECTORY -- that is,
the same directory as that which contains WINWORD.EXE.
GSCRIPT.DOC -- a printable documentation file. It contains macros
to demonstrate the workings of GSCRIPT and to print a
registration form.
THIS FILE SHOULD BE COPIED TO YOUR DOT-PATH.
GSDEMO.DOC -- a bogus screenplay used by GSCRIPT.DOC to demonstrate
the workings of GSCRIPT.
THIS FILE SHOULD ALSO BE IN YOUR DOT-PATH.
README.TXT -- this file. No need to retain it after you have
followed its instructions.
INSTALL.BAT -- a batch file to copy the necessary files to the
correct paths.
Usage: INSTALL [WINWORD PATH] [DOTPATH]
Example:
INSTALL C:\WINWORD C:\WINWORD\DOT
Type INSTALL at the DOS prompt for istructions.
ADDENDUM TO THE DOCUMENTATION==================
There is a new ToolBar button (a question mark) at the far right.
This will invoke the GSCRIPT.HLP file. There is also an item on the
Tools menu to run the help engine and load GSCRIPT.HLP.
Also added to the Tools Menu is an item called Scene Report. This is
a brand new macro that will take your screenplay and generate a report
of the number of scenes, their length in approximate pages, and the
page they begin.
SceneReport will automatically name the report file with an extension
of RPT. So, for instance, if your screenplay is named BOYSCOUT.DOC,
the report file will be named BOYSCOUT.RPT.
SceneReport will work on files that have not yet been formatted with
FormatScript. All it requires is that every slugline be formatted
with heading 3.
(If this seems complicated, it isn't. After you read the
documentation, this will make much more sense...)
NOTES===========================================
The file GSCRIPT.DOC expands to 407Kb. That's enormous. It is this
large not because there are that many words, but because it uses
screen shots extensively to describe the various functions of GScript.
If you have any trouble loading or displaying this document (which
*could* happen on some systems with low memory or low "resources")
please try again and after opening the document toggle the view to
Draft Mode and/or set PicturePlaceHolders to ON in the ToolsOptions
View dialog box.
CONVERSION OF GSCRIPT 1.X FILES=====================
Because Word for Windows didn't have an UpperCase style, GScript
version 1.1 used "Small Caps" for the Character, Transition, and More
styles.
If you attach the new GSCRIPT.DOT to a file created with GScript 1.x,
you may find that your "more" string, which you want lower-case,
appears as Upper Case. This is because the style in the document has
not been updated with the style definition in the new GSCRIPT.DOT.
To do so, select Style from the Format menu, click on Define. Click
on Merge, select GSCRIPT.DOT, click on From, and answer Yes to the
prompt about over-writing current styles.
After the above, the styles in your document will match the styles as
defined in the 2.0 version of GSCRIPT.DOT.
====================================================
HINT: The documentation is quite complex. You can easily navigate
among its sections by using bookmarks.
Press F5 twice to see the list of bookmarks available.

Thank you for trying GSCRIPT.
