I use Battlescribe but have no idea how to save the documents... I save it and it is 0kb in size and does nothing.
I'm not going off-topic here, my point is go with Army Builder if you can afford it

Or Battlescribe if you can do all the CSS stuff or whatever it is...

Have you tried uninstall and re-installing it?

barring that, try saving the list to a different location.

I've reinstalled it, and saved it to several places. It seems I need CSS or something as a template for it. I think...

P.S. I know this post was made a little while ago, sorry

Thanks, had a look and found this quote:
'Finally, the copy HTML button copies the HTML markup (including CSS) for your roster to the clipboard'
So I'll just paste the HTML into notepad or something and save that, then I can just paste it into some HTML editor and print it off whenever I need. Not too much hassle

I'm a bit concerned if you're not able to properly save your lists :S I wonder if it's permission related? Have you tried saving to different places, eg just to your desktop? (I assume you're running on Windows?)

I would recommend making sure you're up to date with BattleScribe Itself and the data files. Perhaps there is a bug in your version or an issue with the data file you're using?

1) delete (or backup) your old BattleScribe folder
2) download and install the latest version from the website (1.12.03b)
3) go to file->data repositories and add the randomhit repo URL (http://www.randomhit.org/battlescribe_data/index.xml) and click update to get the latest data files

Hope that helps

Thank you, I will check that out!
Am I right in thinking I need only to 'Save As' or whatever it's called, nothing else?
