New Page in Celtx

I'm writing a TV script, and the how-to says to start the new scene on a new page.
How do I get to a new page in Celtx?
The guide says to "tab until new page" but I can't do that in Celtx.

RE: New Page in Celtx

I don't know about TV scripts. The only thing I know is that in Celtx stage scripts you get a new page with each new Act.

fwiw.

Celtx has it's own formatting built in. Good luck figuring out how to override it, or take advantage of it for your needs.

RE: New Page in Celtx

I'm writing a television script as well. I checked this out on the Celtx wiki and it says this: 1) television scripts are supposed to start on a new page for each act (like where you'd plug a commercial break). 2) The way they suggest doing it is to create multiple scripts - one for each act. This doesn't work very well for Script Frenzy, since it makes it a bit harder to create a single PDF at the end...

I'm going to move this over to the technology forum.

RE: New Page in Celtx

If you want to get a new page in any of the formats on Celtx, all you have to do is press Alt+Enter. I've found this to be a pretty effective way of making their Screenplay format work as a makeshift Television format until they decide to plug a real TV format into the program. Hope this helped!
