[QUOTE="Croejar64, post: 6757526, member: 6804594"] I love your character sheet. I subscribed to Office 365 just to use it. Libre office and open office are both buggy for me using it. I am having an issue with excel however. I created several characters for my group and saved them all. They have all leveled up and I tried to update their sheets to print off new updated versions. I can only open the files as read only. I am very "excel stupid". I don't know if I saved them wrong or what not and can't figure out how to open one that is not read only. I tried starting a new sheet to retrace my steps in the saving process and now I see that each sheet is protected. When I try to unprotect them it asks for a password. Is there a way around this that I am missing? I just want to save the sheets and be able to open them up and update them later when my group I run levels up. Your sheet is SOOO! nice updating everything for each level up and just makes it all so dang easy. Thanks again for any help! PS If this has already been addressed I am sorry. I started to search through the first 20 or so pages but with over 100 pages it was going to take me a long time :) OK I have now gone thru all 112 threads and seems no one else is having this issue so I know it must be something I am not doing correctly. I do not want any passwords or anything I just want to save the file and be able to update some fields later on as characters level up. I am using the most current version of excel via office 365 subscription. I have saved each character sheet using save as and named it something different so I can keep the original download blank. Reopening them I cannot edit fields like experience points or even add or change the players name or character name(a few of my players originally didn't have last names for their character and wanted to add one.) Any fields with drop downs I can still edit. Thanks again Doug [/QUOTE]
