I've come up with some useful tricks for easily formatiing episodes:

(Write the episode in Microsoft Word)

When you want to make a word bold, precede it with a & and end it with a * these two keys are close together and so you can relatively easily do it while typing.

Put stage directions and anything else that should be in italics, in brackets.

Then, when you've finished, you should have something like this:

&DOCTOR WHAT*
(slapping his forehead)
What do you mean, we're
all out of forks?!

Then:

Hit Ctrl-H and do the following:

REPLACE & with [ B ]

REPLACE * with [ /B ]

REPLACE ( with [ I ](

REPLACE ) with )[ /I ]

(only without the spaces I've put in so the code tags don't activate here)

and your text will turn into

DOCTOR WHAT
(slapping his forehead)
What do you mean, we're
all out of forks?!

Then just centre the whole thing and you're done.
Makes things a lot easier, both for us and Psycho.
