?make the most the StoryBoard, with its scene title and description?

Do the following in the Scene editor window.
Type a short scene title (less than +-15 words) IN CAPITALS.
Then continue with the scene title on the same line in upper and lower case (a mini-thesis!)
Example:
Scene title: JACK VISITS THE SUPERMARKET ON A RAINY DAY.
Mini thesis: He meets his old girlfriend, hears she has been given a geological map which will lead to the treasure, but the treasure is in a war-torn zone. Questions: What will his wife say when she finds out he is seeing her again? What does he do?
Description: Continue with your detailed description in the box at the foot of the page.
