Thanks in advanced!

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. Any changes I made to what I first typed in just get reverted. Let's see if today's patch does anything about that.

Then to print it, go to the character sheet and choose "Show Journal Entries" from the pull down menus.

But my other question is that I don't see "show panel buttons" in
the options menu. So I can't really make any changes to the sheet.
How does one fix this?

Thanks!

This lets you drag them around.
Stretch the text ones up and down by pulling the bottom of the panel down.
(Feats, class abilities, etc)
Also you can right click a panel to get some more options for most panels.
