Hi, thanks so much for this sheet! I just downloaded v2 and it's really cool, but I can't print. I get the error shown in the screen shot when I print or preview. *Edit: I've been printing this morning, so it's not a connection issue.

Very odd! I'm not a Mac user so not sure why this occurs.

A few thoughts...
1. Try changing the printer to PDF or another printer?
2. Check settings in the page setup menu?
3. Does this issue occur with other Excel files or only this one?

found a few more typos in beta 6

Scag paladin crown, Exhalted s/b Exalted in 3 places
Pseudodragon trait emtoins s/b emotions
Warlock Otherworldy s/b Otherworldly
Ranger hunter Whilrwind s/b Whirlwind in 2 places
Gods list, several I gods are in as l (old typing technique since they look the same)
llmater
lstishia
llneval
llesere
loun

Awesome, thanks for these - great! Fixed in the next build.

Found an odd bug last night. Imported my bard into beta 7 from 6, all went nice and smoothly until I then went to manually copy the Adventurers Log page across. I have done this in the past with previous builds no problem, however with 7 it is also trying to copy across every single formula from the workbook. As the formula names are the same in each spreadsheet, I got a ton of confirmation boxes

That's what's so strange – I can print the original, blank file. When I was entering equipment and some other things, I copy/pasted some cells; I wonder if it copied or altered some formulas.

Usually Excel quits after that first error message but this morning I got this one for the first time.

I'm starting a new sheet from scratch and hitting Print as I go to catch it if it happens again. So far so good.

Not sure if it is a bug or working as intended - the Paladin's Divine Health (level 3) isn't being recognised as a Resistance (on Character Summary) or as an Ability Feature on Character Sheet I (but it picks up racial immunities/resistances)

Good to hear it is okay from the blank sheet, when copying and pasting data in Excel use either Copy > Paste Special > As Values or > Formula to avoid problems with formatting, formulas, etc.

Try this workaround, from the worksheet to be copied from, right click the worksheet tab and choose Move or Copy, Select the workbook that you will copy it too and check the create a copy checkbox. click ok. Now to clean up the names by going to Formulas > Name Manager and sort by Refers To. (click the column header), quickly scroll through the name and you should find a few c:\directory\filename references, highlight all of them and click the delete button. They'll now use the sheet reference of the named ranges. It'd be a nice Excel feature to add, Yes to All button for all named ranges.

Thanks for the feedback, added to Ability Feature "immune (disease)" but not to damage resistance (as disease is not a damage type).

Portrait

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, so I'll pose it more as a question. Am I meant to be able to insert an image for the Character Portrait on Character Sheet IV?
