There really only is Final Draft. Why waste your time with other software and especially MS Word? That is a mess. I bought my copy of Final Draft on Ebay for just over $100. It really is worth it if you're going to write a bunch of scripts.
Other options: www.ScriptBuddy.com
Not only is Script Buddy free, but you can edit your script from any computer, online. You can only edit one script per account, but this is a good idea for those who are: 1) only working on one project 2) working with a co-writer or 3) not looking to spend any money. Of course, you can always upgrade (and pay $). The benefits include being able to work on more than one script.
All in all, some kind of software is necessary due to the screenplay's unique and aggravating format.
Please leave comments if you need additional help in this area.
