Format your text

Use text formatting to emphasize particular words. For example, underline moment in Alex’s line, Give me a moment. The block remains Dialogue.

Format selected words

1. Select the words you want to format in the script.
2. In the editor toolbar, choose the formatting you need:
   • Bold.
   • Italic.
   • Underline.
3. Continue editing the script. You can combine the three styles on the same text.

You can also use the formatting shortcuts with the text selected.

Remove a style

Select the formatted words and choose the same formatting button again to turn that style off. For example, select moment and choose Underline again.

If you applied formatting by mistake, use the editor’s undo shortcut: ⌘ Command + Z on macOS, or Ctrl + Z on Windows/Linux.

Text formatting and block appearance

The type of a block can supply its own appearance. For example, Aside text is italic with the default settings. Changing a word’s formatting and changing a block’s default appearance are separate operations.

Use Change block type when the text has a different role in the script. For page layout and a block type’s default appearance, see Set up script pages.
