Character Builder layout tips

First Post
I'm ataching a screencap of my 1-page character sheet layout for the Character Builder. Here are a couple of tips:

Use the "Campaign Notes" entry to concentrate all of your info that is unlikely to change, or that have panels that are too large and can't be resized (like Feats and Magic Item Index).

Open the Character Summary, copy the Feats and Equipment entries and paste them into the Notes box in the Information tab. To format those, type in, use 3 spaces for subheaders (like the levels underneath Feats) and 6 for lines under the subheaders (like when the feat descriptions overflow).

Since the character I'm showing is a human, I had no use for the Racial Features panel. But it's easy to type in the racial features into the Notes panel.

I left the Feats header in there to remind me of where the feats are. Every time you open the sheet, you have to right-click on the Feats box and choose "Hide", as it will push the other panels out of the page. If you include Racial Features in the Notes panel, you can also do this with the Racial Features header.

It's possible to user understrokes ( ______ ) to create additional lines in the Notes panel, but I haven't tried it yet.

My character has a Frost +1 Short Sword that he can use as an implement for his warlock power. To simulate this, I equipped him with a Frost +1 Short Sword (renamed "Winterfang"), and with a +1 Magic Rod, which I renamed "Winterfang (i)" (for implement). This way the power cards show the correct name of the weapon.
