That's not 100% true. There is a converter available for older editions of Office which allow them to open and save files in the .xlsx, .docx, formats.

Also, both .doc and .docx (and kin) formats contain the information necessary to interpret the documents; they're complete, as it were. However, .dnd4e files are basically just lists of rule-references that don't include the actual computed values nor the rule text (which is why things get wonky when updates change names).

So, .doc and .docx - not known for their brilliant interoperability in the first place - are quite a bit more "reliable" and open in the long run than .dnd4e - I'd export all my charsheets to .pdfs if you intend to keep them around in the long run.

Duuuuuude Stumblewyk just called you Old Man Herschel!

Hey, I just call 'em like I see 'em. The only people I know who call forums or message boards "BB's" or "bulletin boards" are people old enough to remember connecting on a 9600 K modem (or slower) to CompuServe or Prodigy (or directly to the "BB" they wanted).

Kids these days! They have it soooo easy. I remember sitting in my bedroom for HOURS for the BB phone line to free up so I could connect, and I could spend another HOUR waiting for a picture of Kathy Ireland to download... and she wasn't even nekkid!

Ah, I was referring to if you open Office 2003 (or earlier) and try to open a .xlsx file it will not read.

What's BB? In my experience that stands for Blackberry but that certainly doesn't make sense here.

Bulletin Board (or message board)

You have NO idea what kind of reach I have with my cane, whippersnapper. Now get outa my yard!
