6.2.4 Adding a New Story to the Rundown

Creating a new story adds a line to the rundown. The text for this item can be attached to this

story using the script editor Choose Story, then New from the menu. A sub menu appears

and from this you can select Single-column Script or Single-column Break. Choose

Single-column Script and the New Item Title dialogue box appears. Enter the story name

in the text box and click OK.

6.2.5 Saving Scripts and Rundowns

It is good practice to save the rundown and scripts regularly to ensure no information is lost

accidentally. To save rundown and accompanying scripts, choose File, Save As from the

menu. A Save As dialogue box will be displayed. Enter the name of the Rundown in File

name text box and click on Save.

To save changes made to a script choose File, Save from the menu. The script changes will

be added to the existing file.

6.2.6 Moving Stories Within the Running Order

The stories within a rundown can be reordered very easily using the drag and drop facility in

WinCueProNews. Drag-and–drop is the easiest way to move a story within a Rundown.

Select the story you want to move by pointing to it and hold down the left-hand mouse button.

When the drag and drop pointer appears, drag the dotted insertion point to the new location.

Release the mouse button to drop the story in its new place in the runorder.
