Editing scripts
To edit the text of a script using the Script Editor, double click on the item in the QMaster Rundown window.
The entry in the rundown is highlighted in black to indicate the script you are currently editing. The Story Title
will be shown at the top of the Script Editor window. The cursor is automatically placed in the Script Editor
window and you can type in the text for the story. The text written in the Script Editor will appear on the
prompt output monitor.
To quit the Script Editor, press the Esc (Escape) key on the keyboard.
Moving scripts within a rundown
The stories within a rundown can be reordered very easily using the drag and drop facility in QMaster.
1. Select the script you want to move by clicking on its title and holding down the left-
hand mouse button.
45. When the drag and drop pointer appears, move the dotted insertion point to the
new location
46. Release the mouse button to drop the script in its new place in the rundown.
Renumbering stories in a rundown
The stories within a rundown can be renumbered at any stage when lines are added or deleted. Choose
Rundown >> Renumber from the main Rundown menu bar.
Access editing commands from the rundown
It is possible to edit the rundown and the attached scripts in the rundown window. It is often quicker and
more convenient to use the rundown context menu accessed using the right-mouse button rather than the pull
down menus.
Right-click once on the script you wish to edit. A menu appears next to the cursor. This section describes the
commands available from this menu.
New story
Selecting this option adds a new story to the rundown. Refer to Managing scripts in a rundown >> Create
scripts for information about different types of script file.
