Mores and Continueds (Screenplay Only)

Great conversations don’t stop just because the page does.

What are Mores and Continueds?

In screenwriting, when dialogue or a scene continues across an interruption or page break, it’s customary to add visual cues to help readers and actors follow the script seamlessly.


  • Automatic Character Continueds

    • When a character's dialogue is interrupted by an action, general or parenthetical block type, Scripto adds (CONT'D) next to that character's name:


  • Break Dialogue Between Pages

    • When dialogue continues from one page to the next, Scripto adds (MORE) at the bottom of the page and (CONT’D) next to the character’s name on the following page.


  • Scene Breaks

    • When enabled, Scripto will add scene continuations to the top and bottom of the page to help your script flow smoothly from page to page.


  • Controlling Mores and Continueds:

    • Click the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the toolbar. Select Mores and continueds.

  • Select the options you want to display — they’ll appear in the editor and carry through to print and export.
