Falstaff -- A Word Template for Screenwriting

Falstaff is a great Microsoft Word template that helps you create a properly formatted screenplay. Regardless of your interest in the field of interactive media, there will come a time when you'll need to write scripts (1st Years are probably finding themselves with that need right now in 507). There are some great standalone screenwriting apps out there such as Final Draft and Movie Magic. However I really like this one because a) it's totally FREE! and b) it plugs right into Word (so you don't have to learn a new piece of software).

The official website's down and has been for a while, so I'll host it on my website for now:

Download Falstaff!

NOTE to Macintosh Users: The above file is a Windows executable, so it probably won't run on a Mac. However, I have also posted the template directly (can't verify whether it'll work, but let me know if you try it):

Falstaff.dot (raw Word template)

Interesting what you find on the occasional random Google search. I'm actually the creator of the template (half the Falstaff team), and glad to know it's still getting used! Might interest you to know we had posted an updated version before our website went down. The site won't be back for the foreseeable future (long story)... shoot me an e-mail, though, and I'd be happy to get you the latest version.
