If you can answer "yes" to 3 of the following 6 questions, you are sure to be happy with your purchase of Script Wizard...

• Do you currently have and use Microsoft Word For Windows 6.0, 7.0 97, 2000 or XP?
  
• Do you use, or plan to use Word for Windows for other writing jobs besides scripts?
  
• Do you want to be working with state of the art editing and proofing tools at all times?
  
• Do you write or expect to be writing scripts for more than one medium (e.g. features, television, videos, etc.)?
  
• Have you tried a stand-alone program and been unhappy with it?
  
• Do you need or expect to spend under $100, including tax and shipping, for your script processing program?
  

The vast majority of Script Wizard users -- especially those who have been upgrading with us for the past twelve years -- are writers who want to have one program to manage all their writing assignments. From a survey we conducted a few years ago, our average user has been writing scripts professionally for over five years and the thing they love most about Script Wizard is that it works so seamlessly inside Word For Windows. These users are not Microsoft- or Word-phobic, they know a great tool when they use it, and they want to be working in the full-service word processing environment all the time.

Our reviewers can provide you with other excellent reasons to buy an add-on. Writing for New York Screenwriter Magazine, Ed Walloga has particularly cogent arguments for new and student screenwriters. In his review for Video Tape World, Sam Scribner made the case for older, more experienced writers. But all of the reviewers have something to say about this and you should take a moment to read some of their opinions.

What's wrong with a stand-alone program? Nothing. Every feature that really matters to a script writer is present in every program on the market. All the other script writing features are "bells and whistles." What distinguishes "add-ons" from "stand-alones" is the way they do things. A word processor or script processor is a very personal tool, no less than the typewriter that preceded them, and each writer must choose the tool that suits them best. Any vendor who says otherwise is doing a product promotion; any retailer who says otherwise is doing a price promotion; any professional writer who says otherwise is proselytizing.

Are there people who just should not use Script Wizard? Yes, people who have tried Word (almost any version) and hated it. Anyone else? No.
