Slug line and transition inserting macros did not work correctly when applied at the end of the document. They do now.
The Format Screenplay macro could sometimes un-style transitions and slug lines when draft mode was used. This has been fixed.
New features:
List Characters macro to create a list of characters in the script, either in alphabetical order or in order of appearance. Can be used for treatments or to spot inconsistent naming.
Select Scene macro for easy selection of the scene containing the cursor.
Selection to Draft macro, converting formatted text to draft mode.
Screenwriting toolbar for users of Nisus Writer 5.1. To ensure the best configuration of Nisus Writer for its use, the “Create NW Workset Macro” applet is included.
Also for Nisus Writer 5.1 users, a cluster of macros around the Option macro meant to be copied to your Nisus Macros, enabling easy letter case toggling between Capital and UPPERCASE.
The Print Screenplay macro now offers the option of numbering scenes before printing. This should only be done on production scripts.
The Draft style now inserts its own line spacing for better visual layout, no need to use empty paragraphs.
The font, size, styling and ruler of the Draft style can now be changed to your own preferences, but you must not set its font to Courier.
The macros feature even better context checks than before and better feedback to the user.
The documentation overhauled.
Other minor improvements.
2.0 KDSS now compatible with any version of Nisus/Nisus Writer from Nisus 3 onward.
Print Screenplay no longer re-formats the script anew, duplicating what Draft to Screenplay had always done. Hence, Draft to Screenplay renamed Format Screenplay.
Formatting now very robust and many times faster than before.
4 slug line and 4 transition macros added.
Print Screenplay now properly detects all instances of parentheticals split by pagination. Instructions provided in macro for users wishing to change the “continued” string this macro uses.
Temporary “.pnt” version of script file generated by Print Screenplay is now saved and put in Trash (on same disk as the script).
Languages other than English supported.
Users can now use colors in their scripts, perhaps as an aid in find/replace operations.
This READ ME file improved and updated.
Other minor improvements.
1.3 The macros now properly exit on documents that have not been saved yet.
Any selection is now preserved during initial checks.
The contents of clipboard 0 are now preserved.

KDSS is now shareware.
This READ ME file improved and updated.
KDSS website created.
1.2 Support for parentheticals within dialogue added.
Empty paragraphs now tolerated in both draft and WYSIWYG modes.
Macros are now faster and less prone to out-of-memory errors.
Fixed a bug that resulted in faulty formatting of auto styled text after removal of empty draft style paragraphs.
