WinCuePro News Script Editor
In this Chapter you will learn how the script editor works. The Script Editor is used to create the
prompting text and is similar to many Windows based editors. Therefore, if you have used
Windows based word processors commands will be familiar. At the end of this chapter you will
be able to set read rates, fonts, colors and styles to suit individual presenters, and also change
the editor's layout to suit the way you work. This chapter applies to all versions of WinCuePro
News.
5 The Script Editor
5.1 The Script Editor Window
The Script editor is used to create the scripts. The Script Editor window has three
main features.
The Script Window
The script is created in this window and this represents what will be seen when
WinCuePro News is in the prompt mode. The text is written white on a black
background.
WinCuePro News supports both mouse and keyboard controls. A summary of the
shortcut keyboard controls is shown below. These keystrokes will help you to move
around the editor quickly. The cursor can be moved anywhere in the script using the
cursor keys or the mouse.
Text can be deleted using the Backspace and delete keys or by highlighting the
desired text and pressing the delete key.
