Formatting Issues

So I am writing most of this using Office Suite X and it's being a straight BITCH! It links all paragraphs together so if I want one line of dialogue to be center aligned and then want one line of action to be right aligned it's not letting that happen. If I change one it changes the other. If I hit enter a thousand times it doesn't make a different. F'n annoying is what it is.







EXT – the woods – night

Randall is racing through the woods, he can hear that vampires are on his trail. They hear Ervin scream in the background.



Randall
Ervin!



He stops. He can hear something rushing towards him, it's too close for him to do anything about. It's about to hit him, he braces.



ROONEY
RANDALL MOVE!!



Rooney bursts through the brush and grabs Randall, the pair sprint. Right behind Rooney are the two vampires. They run downhill, the vampires are bloodthirsty and only paces behind them.

Randall
Rooney do see that?



Up ahead is a precipice, a long rigid drop off of a cliff and their running out of real estate as they bound closer and closer to it's edge with the vampires hot on their heels.



Rooney
RANDALL CAN VAMPIRES FLY?

RANDALL
What?

ROONEY
CAN VAMPIRES FLY??

RANDALL
NO!

ROONEY
Good




 

Rooney trips Randall who goes tumbling right to the bottom, right to the edge of the cliff. Rooney runs off to the side, out of frame. The two vampires are right on top of him. Randall stumbles to his feet and backs up right to the edge of the cliff, the two vampires are in a frenzy and only feet away.

One leans over Randall and opens it's mouths, Something catches it's eye off camera and it's turn and growls. With the speed of hurdler Rooney comes flying feet first into the vampire with a powerful boot right off the cliff.
