Ah. Only up to 40 pages.

I took a screenwriting class last semester. One helpful textbook was The Screenwriter's Bible by Dave Trottier. His website is www.keepwriting.com. He is known as "Dr. Format" because he's sort of like the Dear Abby of screenwriting. He has a column in a magazine where people write to him with formatting questions and he answers them.
Also, the professor wrote a sort of workbook for us which includes a lot of information. I can pass along some of that to you via email, if you want. I could also send you my screenplay sample, which isn't written very well, but is formatted wonderfully.

This is only $49, though I've seen it many other places for much more.
Here is a shareware text editor with a screenwizard. It's only $29. Here are it's features.
Here are some reviews from the Writer's Guild of America. That looks to be really handy. Especially the Software Features Chart.

Doc....for your own sake, change the email address aboe...don't use the @ mark, it is too easy for email harvester to find....writw AT instead of it..
My friend Jarrod wrote a couple of those harvester programs, and I know some of the ways around it. That is not an @ sign, it is actually a Phonecian ascii symbol that is very close to the @, but not quite. If you squint really closely, you'll see subtle differences. Of course, since it's different ascii code, it may as well be a stop sign for all that those programs recognize it. However, if you cut and paste it, the cut-and-paste sofware recognizes the character, and converts it back to an @.
Please don't tell the harvester guys about this bug. My friend would get fired.
Oh, and thanks JTK. I'm downloading that app right now.
