The Word Count (Link time) Box

As you type a script WinCue will keep track of the number of words in the script. The current word count

appears in the Words box and is constantly updated.

7.1.3

The Script Duration Box

The time taken for a person to read a script from the prompter screen will depend on the number of words

in the script and how fast that person reads. WinCue uses the current word count and the presenters read

rate to calculate the duration (Link time)of the script. The script duration in seconds is displayed in the Link

box and is updated as you type. The default presenter’s read rate of 180 words per minute is used unless

you are using a presenter with a modified read rate.

See Section 8.3 Changing a Presenter’s Settings.

7.1.4

Undo and Redo

You can undo and redo changes made in the Script Editor in the same way as any other word processor.

To Undo the last changes press CTRL+Z. You can undo each change since the last time you saved the

script. To Redo changes press CTRL+Y.
