My wife has been using Microsoft Word version 4 to write screenplays. As
far as
I can tell, this is the software most commonly used by screenplay
writers. I was
wondering if anyone had found any other word processor, say Nisus,
suitable for
writing screenplays.

I already owned WriteNow and upgraded to the latest version, hoping to
get my 
wife to switch to it. Unfortunately, WriteNow does not support an
all-caps 
character style. Also, I couldn't figure out how to define a paragraph
style 
that includes adding space before and after the paragraph.

Some of you may wonder why an all-caps style is needed. That was my 
initial reaction. I told my wife that her screenplays would look a lot
nicer 
if she used bold face and italics instead of all caps. Unfortunately, the 
industry still demands the old-fashioned format. She even switched her
font 
from Times or Palatino to Courier to make it look like it came out of a 
typerwriter. One reason for this is that people estimate the running time
of the 
film by the number of pages in the screenplay. The nicer fonts compress 
everything substantially, causing people to underestimate the length.
