Maybe Notepad+ could help you?
Notepad++ Homepage
ITs Open source so no money to pay
it has many features for editing many documents at once in the same window etc etc
Im sure in that you could add the characters names at the start of each line with a couple of clicks..by default it has many programming languages that it can understand such as SQL..so if you type "Select" which as an SQL term it will highlight it in blue becasue it recognises it..im sure you can add new languages to it so you could make one called Scripts..then add your characters names in there...add them to the clipboard..and volia each time you come to a new line you could paste out the name out of the clipboard..and the persons name will also be highlighted into a different colour for ease of reading..
Hope this helps..

..well thx for reading...and ya i dont even know if this is the right forum for this question lol...thx anyways...peaCE and Love!
Yes, there are add ons for MS Word that will make script formatting easier. You can find a list of them at this Web site.
I know that standalone scriptwriting programs are generally expensive - a friend of mine paid over $150 for Final Draft Pro (and that was with a very good student discount). The add ons for Word should be more reasonable.
