2 Column Dialog in Sophocles?

[jeffkantoku]

Hi, anyone in here who has Sophocles screenwriting software know how to do this?

I need 2 columns of dialog side by side, with two people talking at the same time.

I know some screenwriting software can do this trick. I was wondering if its possible to do in Sophocles and how I'd go about doing it.

Come on, Sopocles geniuses, help a brother out!

OK, I just figured it out.

I guess I'm the genius. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Thanks, anyways.

PS. If you want to do so:

For dual column dialogue, right-click on a dialogue paragraph and select the appropriate column from the menu that appears.

I don't like the way 2 column dialouge...here's what I do:

STEVE
--what exactally, uh, does--

LAUREN
--the man has no sense of direction when--

STEVE
--that mean?

LAUREN
--it comes to things other than his own personal being.

the best way (meaning the least confusing and easiest to read is this)

MAN 1
blah blah blah

Man 2
(overlapping)
balh blah

man 1
(overlapping)
blah.

dual dialog columns are for subtitles.

like this

man man(subtitle)
ching chong way im da man

or whatever the hell it means.

out
