Journal question

[Lord]

Hi all,
I have the Hero Lab installed, and I manage all my player's characters.
after a session, I want to write the journal enrty about that session and apply the same journal enrty to all characters (or, preffered, using a check box, only to the participating characters).
is there an option to do so or should I write the same enrty again and again ?
thanks

Oooh, that sounds a bit like our old "make a template" request that Colen has on his list.

I don't know about a "one-click" method and I find your idea of selective distribution interesting. Hopefully Colen could implement such a thing.

In the meanwhile, I suggest you do what I've done in the past. Write the journal entry, then use your mouse to highlight (left-click/drag) it (or the portions you want) and right-click, select copy. Then go to the new hero's journal section and right-click, select paste to put that entry into his/her journal. Not automatic but it is somewhat elegant, saves you from typing over & over and gets the job done.

If anyone has a better idea please sound-off because I like learning new things.

Hope that helps,

Thanks,
I will use the copy/paste option, though it is not the best solution.

Interesting idea. For now, the copy/paste method is best, but I'll put this on our to-do list. Thanks!
