Features StoryLines Planning ToolStoryLines is a multi-storyline planning tool that helps you weave a set of virtual index cards into a finished, formatted story. Drag and drop cardsArrange your ideas graphically in cards, along as many storylines as you wish. A simple story might have one storyline, and a complex one (such as a TV soap opera) may have half a dozen - with StoryLines you can see them all at once, or just show the one you're interested in. FormattingStoryLines allows paragraph and text formatting in story content and annotations. You can add custom paragraph styles to the built-in styles.Screenplay auto-formattingIf you're typing a play or screenplay, StoryLines speeds up formatting by choosing an appropriate paragraph style where possible. Text and screenplay importImport existing plain text or formatted screenplays, exported by applications such as Final Draft. Import presets can be defined with detailed options for importing. Instant reportsAs soon as you have made an edit, a linear version will be updated in the Report window; you can choose from a selection of report templates, each with its own preview to help you see how it will format your project.New report templates can be created, and you can customize many aspects of how reports will be shown and exported, in terms of the information shown and also its appearance. Paragraph styles are preserved when exporting to OpenDocument, so you can continue to use the same styles in (for example) OpenOffice Writer. Outline viewYou can see an outline tree view to the left of your tracks window, for quick navigation. Navigator viewThe navigator view gives a bird's eye view of all the cards in your project so you can go to cards and columns without scrolling. Tag-based searchingYou can assign on or more tag to a StoryLines card, and then show all matching cards. You can even define virtual tags, to automate complex searches through content by specifying just one search tag.Tags can have icons associated with them, and these icons will show on tagged cards. So you can quickly see which cards you have marked for further development, for example. Multiple sheetsCreate multiple sheets in the same project, for example for different versions of the same story. User-customisable structureA story can have multiple levels (for example Part/Chapter/Scene). These can be specified when creating a project, or later.
