You can find word processing tools for scriptwriting which will also serve for treatments. These are available either as plugins for existing programs like Microsoft Word, or as stand-alone software. See the ScriptWerx program offered in the VU Store, http://www.videouniversity.com/scriptwx/swerx.htm

Just wondering what everyone is using.I find it nicer than hand writing but which way is best?
Thanks Doug.Do you use that one?Is it easy to change info.eg. multiple replacement of a character name?

Since it works with Word, you can do the same kind of Find and Replace that you can in any other Word document.
