Your scripts from other apps, kept the way they were. FADE IN SCRIPTS KEEP THEIR LAYOUT Fade In scripts now open with their own page size, margins and formatting, and keep them when you save, so a script that goes back and forth no longer changes shape. YOUR ORIGINALS ARE SAFE Before saving over a Final Draft, Fade In or Fountain file for the first time, OpenDraft asks whether to save a copy instead, and backs up the original. File > Recover Original File brings a backup back. DUAL DIALOGUE IN WORD Side-by-side dialogue now comes through in Word exports, and back again when you import them. ALSO FIXED New scripts start on US Letter, as the manual says. Several fixes to suggesting changes during collaboration.
