Wow, THANK YOU, JED!! :D
After following your instructions, (and your own tiddlyspot, bookmarked!) I
managed to create a "Toolbox" tiddly, which currently contains a "Create
New NPC" button. The fields like to arrange themselves in alphabetical
order, which would get confusing, so I got around that by renaming the stat
fields to "01agility, 02smarts"etc...
Lastly, I added a detailed Bio tab, and an empty tab labeled "Close", so I
can shrink the tiddly if I need to without closing it. I'm beginning to
feel the power! :)
After merging a bunch of cells so each entry in the table doesn't extend
vertically, I dare say it's near-perfect and entirely usable! I can finally
start working on my campaign instead of fiddling with the software.
Thank you so much for your help and the links to the excellent resources!
Is your conditional view template idea sort of like a table of contents? I
followed a tutorial to make a basic ToC menu on the right side, but I'll
still look into these anyway. :)
Seriously, I can't thank you enough for taking the time and helping me over
a huge hurdle. Thanks to you, I also understand fields a lot better as well!
