[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7187556, member: 6776887"] Sorry for the silence on this. I have sat on this for a while because the Word file that I used has been slowly deteriorating chapter by chapter, and I was trying to figure out how to offer something that was not falling apart. Among other problems, different line and character spacing has crept its way in and is difficult to clean up. I have moved to LaTeX for all future projects of this sort, and I would highly recommend you take a look as well. You can use an online editor such as [URL]https://www.sharelatex.com?r=23b51720&rm=d&rs=b[/URL] for free, and the following template here ->[URL]https://github.com/evanbergeron/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template[/URL] will give you a starting point for a document that looks like it came out of a WotC adventure book (scroll down in that link to see what it can look like. You can download the files as a bundle and then upload them to ShareLaTeX. I plan on re-releasing at least this adventure path conversion using a modified version of that template. The nice part of using LaTex is that it separates content from presentation in a similar way to how html and css work. You can write out the content and make a couple of changes to alter how the document looks, but the content stays the same. There is a small learning curve, but I would highly recommend it over Word or most other means of laying out something like this. There are some downsides to LaTeX. It can be harder at first to put something in a specific place or figure out why a bunch of your text has split apart, but it really is worth it for a project like this. [/QUOTE]
