Celtx
Celtx makes screenwriting easier for beginner and amateur screenwriters. Celtx can maintain large projects which include, first and foremost, a catalog which you may add items to, and also works with scripts, storyboards, and production schedules. Aside from screenplays, it also does stageplays, A/V scripts, comics, and text adaptations.
The screenwriting system is unique. It has several options which auto-format parts of the screenplay as you so choose for them to format based on parts like Action, Characters, Dialogue, and Transition.
Cinergy Script Editor
The editor can be installed as standalone script editing program, or you can access it from within the main Cinergy production management system. The CSE is the easiest way to automatically apply industry standard formatting and pagination rules to your script. An intuitive interface allows you to spend more time focusing on ideas instead of using your energy on properly formatting your pages. Scripts are automatically formatted for character names, action, dialog and other elements while you write.

Spellcheck/Thesaurus.

Movie Magic Screenwriter
Writing scripts for film, television, and theater has traditionally been a time-consuming task. There are many elements in a script (i.e. scene headings, character names, dialogue, scene breaks, etc.) that must be correctly placed in your script. Following these conventions is essential in making sure your script is receiving proper attention from agents, producers and contests. As with all Screenplay Systems software, Screenwriter suffers from over-zealous copy protection.
Movie Outline

With Movie Outline you can easily plan and customize your story structure, color-code acts, rearrange scenes, develop and track characters, format your screenplay to industry standard and gauge the progress of your own story to that of included outlines and analyses of successful Hollywood movies, allowing you to simultaneously compare your own narrative's pacing with the pros.
Rough Draft
RoughDraft is a freeware word processor. Although suitable for general use, it has features specifically designed for writers of novels, short stories, articles, poetry, plays and screenplays. It's designed to be as practical as possible, offering all the features you need, but without being complicated or awkward to use.
ScreenForge
ScreenForge v1.1a is a combination of three MS Word templates that work together to create a Script Cover page, Title/Fly page, and the Screenplay itself. It has been designed with the formatting rules outlined in the book, The Complete Guide To Standard Script Formats Part I: The Screenplay, by Hillis R. Cole, Jr., and Judith H. Haag. The Screenwriter's Bible, by David Trottier, also contributed some useful screenwriting elements. ScreenForge provides the means to easily write a screenplay in the accepted Hollywood format. It frees the writer to concentrate on the expressive craft of writing rather than the rigid rules of formatting, while maintaining the familiar interface and functionality of MS Word.
ScreenPro
The winner by far on the screenplay shareware front is Jack Passarella`s ScreenPro97.

SLang (Story LANGuage)
SLang is a stand-alone Windows application for story development. It stores your story as a number of *events* each of which is given a name and a number of alternative textual descriptions. You may also specify rules which govern which events depend on which others. This information can then be used to generate a workable ordering of the events in your story, event dealing with multiple threads in a sensible way. You can also use this mechanism for experimenting with alternative *paths* through your story, or for finding the shortest/longest path from the start to a specified event. The program generates a trace, showing you how it made its decisions for ordering the events. The whole story can be exported to an RTF or TXT file.
