Most screenplay software have the ability to export the screenplay as a txt (text file), which can then be easily checked in MSWord and Pages. I also check the text with WhiteSmoke (grammar, spelling, and editing software). I have found that each program misses errors another will catch. [And, it's important!] Cheers, Tom
Hey, Steven. I use Celtx on Google Chrome with the Grammarist App and it does a great job, but it also freaks out with terms like CONT'D and V.O. etc. Good luck!

Purchasing a dictionary is a huge help.
For me it just puts the red line under the misspelled word.

Oops! I should add that all programs miss some edits than human proofreaders catch. I always use a few friends, bribed with dinners and drinks.

I use Grammarly in Word in addition to what's built in to Final Draft, and have a few people read it too... all helps.
@Tim - just had a look at Pro Writing Aid, looks good, thanks for the tip.
Doesn't it high lite?
Or there's the novel idea of learning to spell.
Cherie-- Yeah I forget how to spell. Oh well thank God for spell check.
