Anyone still (or ever) using Word to write your screenplays? I know it's not a 'screenwriting software' per se, but it has done the job for me for 18 years as a screenwriter. I just like the control I have of what word ends up where, making whitespace, etc. I have yet to find a software that lets me be me - that and I am autisitic, so learning new tricks is really difficult. Word is simple and effective.
And, most importantly, I have yet to see a shred of proof that any of the softwares improve writing quality (ggod storytelling, originality). As a reader for many years, it has not gotten better with the advent of softwares. Maybe the opposite. I even draw my own storyboards on word - it's gotten harder now that Microsoft changed it, but still doable.
Anyone use Word? I know it ain't cool, but it's like that ol' Model T that goes and goes.
