Renumbering stories in a rundown
The stories within a rundown can be renumbered at any stage when lines are added or deleted. Choose Rundown
>> Renumber from the main Rundown menu bar.
Access editing commands from the rundown
It is possible to edit the rundown and the attached scripts in the rundown window. It is often quicker and more
convenient to use the rundown context menu accessed using the right-mouse button rather than the pull down
menus.
Right-click once on the script you wish to edit. A menu appears next to the cursor. This section describes the
commands available from this menu.
New story
Selecting this option adds a new story to the rundown. Refer to Managing scripts in a rundown >> Create scripts
for information about different types of script file.
Edit Story
Select Edit Story from the context menu. The item opens in the Script Editor where it can then be edited.
You can also edit the attached script by double-clicking on the item and the text will appear in the Script Editor
window.
View Story
Select View Story from the context menu. Viewing the text allows you to read the relevant script but does not
allow you to make changes to it.
The item can also be viewed by selecting it from the rundown list and using the menu commands. Choose Story,
and then View from the menu.
Finally, you can view the associated script by double-clicking on the item and the text will appear in the Script
Editor window.
Delete Story
It may be necessary from time to time to delete stories from the rundown. Select Delete from the context menu. A
dialog box will appear asking the question “Sure you want to delete this item?” Click Yes to delete. The item will
be deleted from the rundown and the text will disappear from the Script Editor.
The item can also be deleted by selecting it from the rundown list and using the menu commands. Choose Story,
then Delete from the menu. A dialog box “Sure you want to delete this item?” will appear. Click on Yes to delete.
Edit Field
The unique title field in the rundown simply identifies each individual story. The title field should contain a brief
description of the story. To do this click once with the right mouse button on the description you wish to edit.
Choose Edit Field from the menu. The title field will now appear white indicating that the text can be edited. Make
the required changes and then press the left-hand mouse button or press Enter.
