Another Question.
Is there a way to get the text of the cards to be Italicized for when the wizard isn't allowed to use an item?
Example of homemade card with no Italics

If I am being too picky just laugh at me and tell me to be happy with what I do have.

Thanks in advance.

Damn… I didn’t notice that. I have to fix this, but I can’t do it now… I will do it this summer.

Totaly awesome. If I had any skill with coding I would offer to help, but my knowledge ends with multiplying numbers in Basic.
I'm just glad the answer wasn't in the instructions this time. :D

When I try loading for the first time, I repeatedly get this message:

Anything I can do to help get this to load properly? I checked the readme, and I don't get any place that requires logging in.

Yeah. I found I had at some point in the past downloaded a template for cards. Drop in an image, swap out the text, and voila. Easy peasy.

This program is for massive production of cards. For example, when you have to print 100+ cards it’s impossible to do it one by one.

I think I have a newer version that it doesn’t try to connect to the google account to get the online shared xls document with the data. It only works with a local xls file. I’ll post it asap and I will inform you.

I thought this was regarding the non-spreadsheet card-maker. This one kicks ass.

To be honest my english can't help me to understand exactly your last post... But I've post a new link with the version 3 of the program.

Now the program works only with the local xls file and not the shared xls.

Also, when you press the "To File" button the file is exported to image and pdf format. When you want to print that file you should open the pdf file and do the print by using "Actual Size" as the picture bellow:
