[QUOTE="Mickey Flint, post: 7320078, member: 6804723"] [b]Errors messages and printing layout[/b] Hey yo! As I have commented on over the years now, this is the best tool out there. I have required my players to use it when I dm. That being said, I have been having a really big problem. I had a hard drive crash and have a new laptop and need to rebuild all my characters. I am running Excel 2007 (same as before) but from the first download (and every successive download) of v2.27 i get the following error message at file opening: Excel found unreadable content in 'ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator v2.27'. Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook then click yes I click yes and go about my business and i get a notification that it has made the following repairs Removed Part: /xl/comments1.xml part with XML error. (Comments) Load error. Line 2, column 453. Removed Part: /xl/comments2.xml part with XML error. (Comments) Load error. Line 2, column 393.
