Great Script Editing Software

I've been working on the pre-production side of Identity Man, for about a month now, and I've been using a program called Celtx, to create the script. You can download it here www.celtx.com, you won't regret this, it's totally free and comes with the ability to share scripts over the internet, both privately (only selected users can download it, or edit it) or publicly (it gets posted on Celtx: Project Central).

Project Central is a screen-play sharing site, and Celtx allows you to download and upload from within the program, which is incredibly useful, and it's a lot of fun to read the other scripts that are there.

Celtx has a set of features that save a lot of time. One, is the ability to automatically format scripts in studio format. And it can auto-complete character names, which prevents you from having to type the main character's name 100 different times.

I actually discovered Celtx early this year, but I thought I should share it with all the people out there; It's really a great piece of software, and considering it's free and open source, you should really give it a whirl.
