The Novel format is a fairly simple layout. It is set to double-space lines, and new paragraphs are automatically indented. The header is set to a standard novel format. Screenwriter gives you the ability to add Chapter and Book numbers, which are automatically renumbered if you delete or insert them.
In Screenwriter:
- Chapter = Scene Information element
- Book = Act Information element
- Novel Text = Action element
