SCreeNplAY FORMAT

         

         EXT. THE RAMBLE/CENTRAL PARK - DAY 
      
             There's no twelve point courier in Google docs and Final Draft, the free demo versions doesn't let one write more than fifteen pages. All of which are watermarked on print. But there are no margins on this, so blogspot isn't a happy alternative. unless ... let's try this:

EXT. THE RAMBLE/CENTRAL PARK- DAY
A young woman paces back and forth between a signboard and a dirt path forking into three paths on each side.  A bag hangs on her shoulder, her high heels look worn and the map fanning from her hand.    

   EXT. THE RAMBLE/CENTRAL PARK- DAY
Nadia, the young woman stands in a shade near the path and fidgets with a cellular she dishes out of her bag. A man in a long black overcoat seemingly appears out of nowhere. Nadia squints.

                                                                       Bob
“Hey, um … you look a little lost. I don’t mean to um…
impose or anything… Just um…I’m sorry.”
                                    
  Bob smiles awkwardly then starts to leave. Nadia stops squinting.  
                                          
        Convert to Courier: 

EXT. THE RAMBLE/CENTRAL PARK- DAY
A young woman paces back and forth between a signboard and a dirt path; forking into three paths on each end.  A bag hangs on her shoulder, her high heels look worn and the map fanning from her hand.

  Nah the margins are out of whack. But good try.I suppose. What's the difference between Courier std and Courier new. Why shouldn't I use Courier New? And do the names have to be in block letters as opposed to simply capitalized. Also I can't get fifty five lines per page if the font size is twelve. But A four and print paper, may have different sizes.
