29. Highlight the text you wish to change.

30. Select Format >> Inverse from the main menu bar of the Script Editor interface.

If the highlighted section has already had a different colour applied to the text, selecting Inverse changes this to be black
text on the coloured background.

Format All

The Format All dialog allows you to change more than one attribute of the text in your script. The parameters of the
Format All dialog apply to the whole script.

From the main menu bar of the QMaster Script Editor select Format >> All Text...

The Format All dialog is illustrated below.

The default settings are to leave any formats as they are currently set. Each of the parameters may have three states
applied to:

Leave: retain formatting already applied to the selected text.

On: apply the formatting to the selected text.

Off: clear the formatting from the selected text.

Click the Font button to alter the typeface and size for all the text in the script.

Manage multiple scripts in a rundown

QMaster allows you to manage more than one script via rundowns. You can create multiple scripts and create your
own rundown or import and control one or more rundowns via an interface to an electronic newsroom automation
system.

Autocue uses the term rundown to refer to the sequence of items in a news broadcast. Other common terms which
mean the same include running order, runorder, slug list and queue.

A QMaster rundown is a collection of script files. Using a rundown is a way to manage and prompt multiple
scripts. Editing individual scripts is carried out in the same way as using a simple script file editor.
