Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luke" data-source="post: 1181189" data-attributes="member: 602">Just thought I'd tell you about the latest advanced wordprocessing available in RolePlayingMaster.At last, you can use an RPG-dedicted program, AND have all the control you need to produce the highest quality output.Its an awful lot like Word, with an incredible degree of control on stuff like paragraph formatting, auto-numbering, images, standard font/bold/italics, and especially tables.Tables, in particular, have a great degree of control. Tables can contain other tables, hyperlinks, fully formatted paragraphs, different back-ground colours, images etc.Your note fields in RPM (like PC/NPC notes, encounter groups, map/location descriptions, adventure details or encyclopaedia entries), can access very advanced features now with a simply right-click of the mouse.In fact, any one of those fields is effectively like its own word document.There are then 2 basic ways to continue and make great use of this.1) You can prepare for your game (no computer at the table), by producing reports to take with you. All of your "mini Word documents" are organized into a nice report (including graphics, tables etc) for things such as an adventure, character sheets, or statblock lists. The Encyclopaedia works very nicely, letting you produce a full report (including an autogenerated hyperlinked table of contents), after searching/selecting any node in your encyclopaedia tree.2) You can simply use your computer at the table. Apart from all the standard RPM benefits to this, you can also make use of the new hyperlink facilities from the new wordprocessing.This gives you the ability to jump quickly between things such as adventure notes and encyclopedia notes (for rules, campaign setting info, etc).There is a real bonus here, where the hyperlinks can also point to new multimedia features for background music, sounds, and general audio clips.Scripted commands are also possible for the really keen ones...The hyperlinks are displayed nicely (as in a browser), and not like the old ugly RTF ones that used to be in RPM.I'm pretty confident that this is probably the best wordprocessing capabilities you'll find in any program that isn't a dedicted wordprocessor.The download is available at: <a href="http://www.roleplayingmaster.com" target="_blank">http://www.roleplayingmaster.com</a>Enjoy!</blockquote>
