FD7 Dialogue issues...

Hey folks- using FD7 and ran into a problem I had not had before:

I have some circumstances where a character moves back and forth between speaking and thinking. He is both involved in the story as well as narrating the story.

So for example- he has a line of dialogue with another character, then he thinks/narrates his true feelings. The way I was using to differentiate between him talking out loud and his narration was "(V.O.)", however- if he says something then thinks something before the other character responds, FD automatically adds "(CON'T)" to the mix.

So we end up with:

CHARACTER (V.O.) (CON'T)
Blah blah blah.

Now perhaps this is fine, but it looks horrible- and if you try to manually remove the CON'T, it will just add it right back a second later.

Should I just roll with it? Is there a way to get around this? Or perhaps a better way to differentiate between narration/thoughts and standard dialogue. I appreciate any and all input.

Thanks!

Haha, this is something I am worrying about. But his narrative views on what he is saying plays some pretty key parts. Is there another way I can go about that? It seemed like it would be the most clear way to know the difference, but I'm open to hearing other opinions.

@icerose & clockwork: Thanks, I will check some settings, I don't want to disable it automatically filling certain things in, but it would be nice if I deleted the automatically filled in things to stay removed... is the only option going to be simply disabling it?

Thanks for the input folks.

Thanks for all the advice and input guys!
