How can I include acts, scenes or chapters in the header (the Label system)?

Many television scripts and stage plays require the act and/or scene number/letter appear in the header at the top of each page.  If, for example, “Act 1 Scene A” needs to appear on Pages 1-8, Act I Scene B" needs to appear on Pages 9-16 and "Act 2 Scene A" on Pages 17-24,  the Label system enables the user to apply these labels easily.

The Labels command inserts a new header text onto a page. This label text will be displayed at the top of each subsequent page until a new label is inserted.

To insert a Label:

1. Position the cursor at the top of the page on which the script label text should begin;
2. Choose Insert > Label or press Command + Shift + L on the keyboard;
3. The Insert Label dialogue appears: 

4. Type the Label name;
5. Click OK.

The label text will appear in the header or footer.

To stop a Label run:

Insert a new Label and in the Label Name box, tap the space bar once. The new label will consist of a blank space and will therefore be invisible.

To navigate to a labeled page quickly:

1. Choose Edit > Go To;
2. Select Header Label from the Go To dropdown menu;
3. Click Go To;

The script scrolls to the Label’s location.

4. Click Close.

To change the Label text:

- or -

1. Position the cursor where the label text was placed;
2. Choose Insert > Label;
3. The Label dialogue appears;
4. Edit the text;
5. Click OK to apply the changes.
