That’s it, if you’re looking for more software help and advice for writers, subscribe to my YouTube channel and go to for more articles and videos on free as well as paid writing software. Trelby gives you a checkbox here that says “Include scene numbers”. Go to “Script – Settings – Change…” and then choose “Formatting”. Let’s have a look at scene numbers as well, that’s really easy to do.

If you hit “OK”, Trelby will add page numbers to your header, starting with page 2. And maybe you want to add a full stop at the end. Trelby now creates a new string.įor page numbers, change that string to what it says below the text field entry: the “$” sign, followed by the word “PAGE” in curly brackets. If Trelby doesn’t automatically offer you to include page numbers, just click on “Add”. Now, here you can define different strings that you would like to appear in your header. If you have your script open in Trelby, go to “Script – Headers…”.

A Writer’s Territory reader wrote in and asked how to do that. Okay, so, Page numbers and scene numbers. I’m planning to include more Trelby articles in the future, so watch out for that. Trelby is a great free screenwriting application for the PC, so, if you don’t want to spend any money and still need a software that can do the screenplay formatting for you, Trelby might be the right choice for you.
