Need an assistant?


It's always good to get someone doing the little things, so that we can concentrate on rolling out words. Celtx jumps in, taking care of stuff that otherwise slows us down, stuff such as intuitive formatting. It's like having a staff of production assistants in a box. For example, type a character name, hit the Enter key, and automatically go into the dialog mode without having to select it.

We also get auto-completion of names and scene headings, handy shortcuts, page breaks and pagination, scene numbers, dual dialog, scene management, scratchpad, embedded notes, title page generation, and spellchecking.

Let's play with the time-saving "assistants" listed in the preceding two paragraphs.
