MS Word formats and styles are perfectly OK for doing scripts, but it takes an experienced person to get it right, so it's better to let someone else create good templates.
Then let's agree to disagree. If it works for you, fine, but for me Word is simply the wrong tool for screenwriting.

I think you'd probably need to try BillWill's templates out before making such a statement.

Heh Heh, not for ME, for my clients; around 300 of them.
These templates were originally developed for Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran who you might perhaps have heard of; and were used for writing many Classic Sitcoms of the 90's
Since then the templates have also been used by many other script writers.
It's clear that you have had a bad experience with Word in this context but watch these two tutorial videoes before you again go expounding "Word is simply the wrong tool for screenwriting."

By all means say that YOU found Word unsuitable for YOU to writes scripts; that's your right, but stop claiming that it is no good for EVERYBODY to write scripts with. Quote: but whatever you do, don't use Word with its style and formatting.
Did you try Adobe Story? It's a great script software where you can write dialogues, actions, scenarios etc
You can also keep track of your whole project in a pretty organized way; character bios, screenplays, TV scripts, cast, crew. callsheets, it has everything!

£7 a month soon mounts up, though - you could outright purchase something for a lot less.
Let someone else do the bloody crew sheets!
