Screenwriting : Final Draft, pdf, or doc to Celtx by Andy Davie

Final Draft, pdf, or doc to Celtx

Hi all... I wonder if anyone has any ideas on the best way to convert a Final Draft fdx file, or for that matter a pdf or doc file into Celtx without losing the layout etc? I've tried pretty much everything but it throws the formatting off, mixing action into dialogue and vice versa. I'm resorted to copying and pasting which gives the same results, so I'm looking at having to go through fixing the layout manually, annoying but not a huge deal I suppose. If anyone has any ideas on how best to do it, please do respond. Cheers Andy

Not to worry, problem solved... turns out the online do hicky has a conversion tool these days :-) Should have checked that before asking on here shouldn't I? :-)

Not to worry... It turns out that the online workspace/edge has a facility for converting final draft files for use in celtx these days... I really should have checked that out before posting on here... Thanks anyway folks :-)
