[QUOTE="cmbarona, post: 4780876, member: 71281"] Forked from: [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4779620"]Whats Errated that was Rogue Useful :) [/URL] In the original thread, people discussed benefits and detriments to using the errata regularly (this post being one of the better articulated presentations of detriments). So, this makes me curious: how do you make cross-referencing errata easier? I know someone made (or continue to makes, perhaps) errata print and cut sheets, so if anyone can link that thread, that would be appreciated. Here's what I do: [LIST=1] [*]Download errata/updates. [*]Export or copy/paste the pdfs to an editable Word document [*]Format the text to fit on a single page, front and back (which takes a small font and quite a lot of editing for the PHB these days), and according to my own preferred visual style. [*]Print the sheet and cut off the margins so that it fits comfortably within the front cover of a book. [*]Go through the book and mark the errata'd sections in pencil with underlines or brackets and an "E" in the outer margin. [/LIST]It takes a bit of effort, though usually not more than a lazy morning/afternoon spent in preparation before our evening games. The main benefit is that I don't get writer's cramp or cramp the actual text by trying to write everything in the margins. If I see an "E", then I know to cross-reference the indicated text, which is easy to do since I can format the information in a way that I can read. So, what other methods do people have? [/QUOTE]
