I've noticed my screenwriting software is making wrong slug lines. Instead of INT., it features a dash. Example: " EXT. STREET - CONTINUOUS" reads " EXT - STREET - CONTINUOUS". I found no way to correct this within the software and no way to edit the resulting .pdf files...:( Would a screenplay be rejected if it has such slug lines or is this a minor thing and to be overlooked, while other things are far more important about a script? Thank you for taking the time to read and answer this!:)

What software are you using? Most screenwriting software auto-set the slug lines correctly. If your software doesn't and it's really for screenwriting, check to see if some hidden formatting option is set incorrectly. Otherwise change software. If its a spec script and the story is compelling enough most would overlook it. But depending on the reader, some would say there is a lot of software out there that can handle formatting correctly, why aren't you using it and auto-trash it. It all depends on to whom you submit your work.

The software is called Script Maker...
