      There aren't many details to get into. If you have a script formatting template or stand alone app then you don't even need to know the exact settings. Reading a few scripts will quickly answer any remaining questions you have. I suggest you start with scripts in proper spec format like those found on www.screentalk.org

      The WGA also has several unproduced specs written by pros on their site. Check them out.

      You can also read my format links at www.thewriterslist.org

        Online guides:

        www.screenwriting.info/

        www.scriptwritingsecrets.com/contents.htm

        www.oscars.org/nicholl/format.html

        In addition to Trottier, Cole and Haag's Complete Guide to Standard Script Formats is a good, if stodgy, guide.
