Print scenes for actor

QUESTION

Can I retrieve all scenes for a specific actor? Lets say I need to hand out text for rehearsal for an actor and I want to print out only the relevant scenes is there an easy way to do so?

ANSWER

To print character sides on Windows:

{File}{Print}{Character sides}

To print character sides on Mac:

Same as for Windows, but change {Copies and Pages} pulldown to {Final Draft} in Print dialog.

To print only the character's lines (not sides):

{Tools}{Reports}{Character Report}

Printing character sides is a choice in the Print dialog. After picking Character sides you can choose which character's sides you want printed. The "sides" are scenes that an actor reads for an audition, typically.
