Yeah - tried that but when the file is locked (such as the Warmaster files I
have), you can't save it as a text file...

I'm having trouble determining the composition, category and type fields. As
I understand it, the composition field has to be in the Compositions
definition, the category in the Units definition and the type can be any old
text - is that right?

Thanks

Pete

Subject: Available Unit column

Hi

Is there any way to resize the Available Unit column? My unit names
are pretty long and I could use more space here.

Thanks

Pete

Try downloading the 40k files - they aren't locked, and should provide
examples for every situation you need.

I believe so, although the type must be up to 10 alphanumeric characters
long (i.e. no spaces).

Edit the definition file to reduce the space given to the game stats; this
should increase the amount of 'unused' space that gets used for the name.
If you can't edit the definition file (if, for example, you're adding stuff
to someone elses datafiles), then I'm afraid you're out of luck.
