Any way to edit the character sheets in the character viewer?

There are a few things I do differently on my character sheets then the default sheets. I read the 'unlock the power...' sticky above but that didn't help as it says to 'go to Options and click Unlock Panels and Show Panel Buttons.' Unfortunately for some reason I don't have a 'show panel buttons' in my options. Perhaps it was moved or even removed between that sticky and the latest version, but I don't have said button.

Anyway the changes I want to make are minor but the biggest one is I use the Attack/Damage Workspace differently as I usually have my players list their at-will powers in there and just put their basic attacks with their weapons in the Basics Attacks spaces, having basic attacks in both is redundant and by having their at-wills listed on their sheet they don't have to keep looking at their cards (I print power cards of my own design.)

Anyway I could easily make this change if I had a 'Show Panel Buttons' in Options! But either way if I could simply edit the sheet like a PDF, that would be even better.

Oh and is there any tutorial around that can show me how to add custom Background choices? I see the option too in the Backgrounds section but I'm not sure how to convert that to actual changes in character creation. I use a custom 'birthsign' background system in my campaign that gives players various minor bonuses depending upon the month of their 'birth' in the game world from bonuses to certain skills, even a possible bonus race feat. I can write them in their but I don't see how to bring that over into the sheet generation. Say a background thats +2 Stealth, how do I make it so when a player selects that background, the program automatically adds +2 misc to stealth?

Thx in advance on both questions.

If you right click on the areas of the character sheet, you'll see you can do those things in the character viewer before printing. Instead of doing the "show panel buttons, you right click now....

Hope that helps you!

I don't think that kind of functionality has been added yet.... Seems like you can only add text elements.....
