# Introduction This Excel Spread Sheet was written to aid in generating, storing and updating Cyberpunk 2020 Character sheets. Before you begin, make sure that the files included are present and set up. Click here for instructions. Open your first character sheet by using the template file "CP2020.xlt". As part of the setup you could have put this in with the other Office templates. If so, open as you would any other template. The Generator may prompt you for the location of the Character Database or will create a new Database for you. See the Setup section. NB: There are macros within this file. They will need to be enabled to gain the full functionality of the Character sheet generator, although the file can be opened with them disabled. The macros related to the template and the toolbar are only to do with EXCEL and cannot be disabled. Excel will indicate this when you disable all the user macros. The character sheet layout is fairly straight-forward, if you are familiar with playing Cyberpunk. Move between pages by selecting the tabs at the bottom of the Excel window. See the help sections on each page for more information. It is a good idea to keep your sourcebook nearby for descriptions and for how the rules work. When you save your character, it will be stored in a database (in this case it is another Excel spreadsheet called "CP2020data.xls"). More than one workbook can use "CP2020data.xls" as a source. The Character information can be retrieved from this file. Find more information in the help section "Character Database". Save using the button on the "Main" sheet. Note that this is not a "Save As" button and will save the workbook at the current file location with the given name. Use the buttons provided to print out your character. Use the button on the "Main" sheet if you want a hard copy of all the information. It is recommended that you click the "Print" button on the "MiniCharacterSheet " for reference during a game. It only takes up 2 pages.
