FINAL DRAFT
28 - Tutorials
Zoom (Magnification)
To continue the Tutorial, we will use a sample script that was installed along with Final Draft.
To open the sample script:
1 Choose File > Open.
The standard Open dialog appears.
2
Navigate to the Final Draft 8 folder.
3
Open the Final Draft folder.
4
Open the Tutorial folder.
5
Open the script The Swans of Brooklyn - script.fdx.
The script appears.
Final Draft has a zoom (magnification) feature which allows you to see more (or less) of the
script on a screen. This permits you to set the optimal size for working on various monitors or
laptop computers.
To view more of the script:
1 Choose View > Zoom > 75%.
Then:
2
Choose View > Zoom > 125%.
As you can see, this feature could be useful in different work situations, especially if you are
using a laptop computer.
NOTE
NOTE: Final Draft retains its settings between sessions. Whichever magnification a script
is in when you save it, it will appear in the same magnification when it is next opened.
To view the script at “normal” size:
1 Choose View > Zoom > 100%.
