Is this possible? I have a screenplay from Microsoft Word that I want to bring over to Storyist, but I'm having trouble having my character and the like come over already formatted. Will the program allow me to do this or do I have to enter information manually?

Hi jrock2strong,
Storyist can get the most information from an RTF file, so if you have Word, open your Word document and export it as RTF. Then, just drag it to the Storyist project view.
If you don't have Word any longer, you can drag the Word file (.doc or .docx) to the Storyist project view. Storyist will be able to get the formatting information, but no the stylesheets or the headers/footers. It sounds like you've got a screenplay, so if this is the case, you'll need to apply the screenplay styles. The easiest way is to use the Format > Style > Apply Styles by Matching Text command.
