How do you combine short pages so the page number is hyphenated?

Example: You have page 10 (short page), 11 (non-printing ommitted page) and 12 (short page), and you want to be combine onto one page, which Screenwriter will renumber p. 10-12.

The instructions below will also work if you need a hyphenated A-page (ex., p.61-61A), simply add a Fixed A-Page instead of a Forced Page Break

1. Place the cursor on the non-printing page (page 11) and press Backspace. When asked to delete the page break, say Yes.
2. Place the cursor on the first possible spot on page 12 and do the same thing, again answering Yes when asked about deleting the page break.
3. Place the cursor at the bottom of what is now the all-inclusive Page 10.
4. Press Shift+Enter. When asked what kind of page break you want to insert, go with the default Locked Page Break option. A non-printing Page 11 appears.
5. Press Shift+Enter again, and insert another page break.

You should now have Page 10, including all the desired text that used to be on Page 12, followed by two non-printing blank pages, followed by Page 13. Page 10's number should now read 10-12, as desired.
