I would just go to http://www.imsdb.com/ and look at how the professional screenplays are written for a starting point. Also http://www.simplyscripts.com/the-archives/ is a good resource for a general overview. Also I would read general books on screenplay writing to find the little changes you need to make it get accepted. Good luck!
