[QUOTE="Croejar64, post: 6758934, member: 6804594"] 1. Yes Office 365 is installed locally. I tried using the free version in One Drive and it does not print correctly. I was using the installed version this time. 2. When I generated each character using a blank save everything worked fantastically. 3. Yes after saving and closing and reopening its the non drop down cells only I could not edit. When I opened each file I got a message stating someone else already had a copy open and I could read only. I could only select read only, notify, or cancel. 4. I am at work now and will have to check this but I am pretty sure I had no options to edit (it was grayed out) when I was trying to work on it. These 5 characters I made I never used LIbreOffice/OpenOffice. I had originally tried both programs and they each had issues mainly when printing so I just bucked up for Office 365 and started over in there. Here is an interesting item though. I have since gotten it to work though I am not sure exactly how. I decided to try Google Sheets to see if I would have any success there. I imported one of the characters there and it was not good. Google sheets loses some cells in conversion and I am not spreadsheet smart enough to fix them or try to. Not sure why I did this but I converted the same file back to excel from within Google Sheets and downloaded it back to my computer. I then opened it using excel and bam I can now edit everything. Funny thing is I just opened the other four character saves with excel and never imported them to Google sheets and converted them back like I did the first one. They all now can be edited too. I have no idea if trying things in Google Sheets did something to the file but all is working now. This is an insanely awesome thing you have here Forged and I will be sending you a beer!. Thanks for the response all. [/QUOTE]
