    Pyromaniac Gnome Not Shown in Printouts

    Pyromaniac is a limited bonus to certain types of spells, but isn't included in any of the Hero Lab printouts and is thus forgettable for those of us who play with paper or PDFs. It'd be really helpful if it was included in the Abilities pages and/or as a note in the Spells and SLAs sections of...

    Preferred Text

    I haven't seen anything like that, but I haven't done a lot of text editing since 200 either. If you look at Cambria Math in other applications (Wordpad or even Character Map) you'll see the same spacing; it's built into the font, or at least version 5.96 of Microsoft's version of it. The...

    download from cloud

    When you go to sync from Computer 1 (after syncing up the deletions from Computer 2) you would be prompted to pick which you want: the current cloud data or your current local data. The dialog looks like this: (The green arrows and associated text are buttons with "Are you sure?" dialogs.)...

    Success with Relationship and Link Web Views?

    Today's Spotlight article brings up these two views. Have you had success using them? I haven't, mostly because I prefer the lists in the Transitions Pane, but also because I end up with stuff like this: (Page 1 of 5) and My guess is that this only works well if your Topics/Articles fit...

    How I use the storboard and plots

    There's a limit of five attached pictures per post, so I had to cut down what I showed. Here's the most vertical view (but I think it's Horizontal) of the loopy picture: Another question that comes up for me is what to do with things the PCs can do at any time. Take this Plot: I don't...

    How I use the storboard and plots

    I've had a hard time getting good use out of the Storyboard because it's difficult to usefully represent anything that varies much from a straight line. Let's look at one of my Plots. My apologies for all the graphics. This example is the main section of an adventure. In it, the PCs go to a...

    Vertical/Horizontal Numbering in Tables

    One last thing: this is probably how I'd do what you're talking about. (Maybe not, as it would depend on the data involved, but going purely from the sample....) I might have messed around with the cell borders, but you get the idea. Everything's manually entered, which gives you good...

    Vertical/Horizontal Numbering in Tables

    Thanks for the explanation. I'm surprised it works at all; HTML ordered lists must be contained within a table cell, so I would have expected numbering to be forcibly ended at the end of each cell. RW could help you out by marking each cell as the start of a new numbering sequence starting...

    Vertical/Horizontal Numbering in Tables

    I'm confused. Tables are a layout feature that look like a spreadsheet. In Realm Works they don't have any built-in numbering support of any kind; I had to type all of the text you see in this sample: Did you mean something with numbered lists? A mocked-up example would be helpful!

    What did you do with the deprecated Starting Point?

    Yep. They're still there, you can link to them, edit them, etc. You can't add new items using the Deprecated category. Any existing ones are crossed out in your list of Topics/Articles: ...which you might find visually annoying if you were to leave them alone. When they first made this...

    Direct link to a pdf page

    As you've found, you can't link into an attached PDF file. What I do is use a special Source Tag Snippet: The book name is one of the Tags and the page(s) go into the text field. If the Topic/Article uses more than one book, then I add another Source snippet. Nope. LWD would have to...

    How do you handle skill descriptions?

    I've attached a picture of my Paranoia XP skill tree: Paranoia XP has 6 Primary Skills where other systems have Attributes, and Specialties where other systems have Skills. Given the simplicity of the Paranoia system compared to other, "not-fun" games, my custom Skill and Specialty...

    Feedback from completely new user

    If you're talking about the ones used for Topics/Articles then I agree that they're pretty arbitrary. I'd like to be able to add icons, but it's a very low priority thing and likely to still be indecipherable to others. Yeah, there's things I don't like here either; they're a big post waiting...

    Section & Snippet Layout

    Two different sets of responses! Unsolicited advice! Woo-hoo! Stuff I'm only an amateur at but it could turn out really nice! Yay! :) Yeah, but in most cases you can get them close. I have two monitors of the same make and model and they're as close as I can get them when in their normal...

    UI Talk: The Quick Access Toolbar

    Hey folks! I've been meaning to post some things about the UI in Realm Works, either as tips or as discussion starters. Some of these have been sitting around for a while, but recent posts have brought them back to mind, so here goes. Those of you who are more familiar with Ribbon...

    organize similar kinds of topics

    Interesting. The worst I can make it do while set to "Sort Topics/By Prefix" is put the "E 2-(whatever)s" in front of "E 2", which is a sort failure to me. (Shorter terms should sort before longer ones that start the same.) It's inconsistent: "E 2-1B" sorts before "E 2" sorts before "E 2+1B"...

    Rename "Change View Assignment"

    As you posted earlier they're check menu items; the checks only appear if the Topic/Article is assigned to a view. If they'd intended for you to only pick one it'd have a radio button-style mark instead of a check. Personally, I'd just say "Views" or "(Topic/Article) Views". That's how the...

    Option to Disable Drag and Drop Containment

    I've barely used Realm Works since this feature was added and I'm already sick of canceling this dialog. :( Please add an option to disable it.

    Help how do I..?

    To expand on this.... When you add a Tags Snippet to a Topic/Article you have less options than when you add a type definition to a Category. You can't restrict it to a single Tag, for example. It will still restrict itself to a single Domain, but instead of specifying everything beforehand...

    Getting started, some warmup questions...

    Did you check the "Enable Custom Search Filtering within Tab" checkbox? Your filter does nothing if it's not checked, which is exactly what you're describing. Overly Pedantic Picture:
