Mariner Software Montage for Mac - Manual (Page 23)

Importing a Text or RTF Script
Scripts in text form abound on the
internet. One text format example is
RTF, which stand for Rich Text Format.
RTF files can use stylesheets to define
their ruler settings rather than relying
on large tab or space runs to properly
indent. RTF is a standard interchange
format across the screenwriting world.
To import a text or RTF script:
1
Click File>Import...
A window appears.
2
Navigate to the file, select the file.
3
Select a template to use in
formatting the script.
3
Click Open.
Note: While importing Montage makes
many intelligent guesses based on the
stylesheets found in the RTF, as well as
based on spacing, tabs, and carriage
returns in text files.
