I can't seem to figure out how to insert a title page into my Trelby screenplay. I have found the "Scripts" tab and edited my title page but it won't appear in the document itself. There's no "insert title page" button. Please help!

If by "document" you mean "my computer screen", no, it will never appear there, only in the produced PDF.

Thank you! I tried exporting it to PDF and the title page showed up but not the header. Any ideas for the header to appear?

You mean the header on top of each page? That should appear in the pdf file automatically. Why don't you send an example file of yours where the header doesn't appear so we can debug the problem.

Oh, thank you. I have attached a sample Trelby file. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Much appreciated for having a look!

Your sample script is only one page, excluding the title page. It is normal screenplay convention not to have headers on the first page, as the manual says:

4.21. Script/Headers

'Headers' allows you to edit your script's headers. Headers are lines that are automatically added to the top of each page of the script, excluding title pages and the first page of the actual script.

If I add a second page to the sample script you sent, the headers show up on that page, so I think you are good to go once you have more than one page of material :)

Ah yes, that was what I was doing wrong. I kept looking at the first page ( I have 31 pages of material), even when I exported it to PDF. Thank you so much for helping me out!! You're a lifesaver!
