Question

Do any iWork bundles support screenplay/teleplay templates?

I feel like Pages used to provide templates for screenplays, plays and teleplays, but looking at it today, I don't see any. I don't want to pay a lot for Final Draft or even a little for a middle-of-the-road program. Really, what I need are the quick indentations that come with these programs. I don't mind doing a lot of extra typing myself. Different indentations for action and dialogue and character, etc. would make my life a lot easier.

There are a few iWork bundles out there, but none of them specify exactly what templates come with their bundles. Does anyone know? Is there a place online where people share such templates? User-submitted templates? As it stands, it's a lot of work to format a regular doc this way, and it's a lot of money to have all the bells and whistles. I'm stuck in the middle here.

Many thanks in advance everyone.

What version of Pages are you using?

I don't even have a 'Word Processing' sub-heading, and under 'Miscellaneous,' all I see are "invoice" and "elegant brochure"

Is there any way I can get more templates without paying for a boat load that I won't use?

That doesn't answer my question. I see that you're in Pages '09, but there are various versions. (For example, I have version 5.1.) What I am trying to say is that with the last update, I think I lost templates. I realize the solution is not going to come within Pages, hence my question.

Does anyone know about the iWork bundles you can purchase as add-ons? I'm wondering if any of them have screenplay or teleplay or stage play templates? None of the developers have been very helpful with providing the info.
