Exporting??
Is it possible to export a character sheet to a word doc or an html file once it is created with FG?

I obviously don't know the answer to this (not a developer), but I would assume that this is information all stored in XML and with some XSL styling, you could probably generate any HTML you wanted.
Whether that is a native function is a question for the developers.
Its kind of an interesting idea for export though...allow you to point to your own XSL or have a number of pre-created XSL templates that will allow you to generate various HTML representations of the data.

That's right, the characters are stored in XML.
Here's a small snippet:
Code:<node name="Dupre"> <stringvalue name="race" value="Half-elf" /> <intvalue name="strength" value="13" /> <intvalue name="dexterity" value="11" /> <intvalue name="wisdom" value="10" />

No plans at the moment, but since it is a fairly simple task to convert it to a nice HTML character sheet, I'm sure there will be a tool for it sooner or later.

For what it's worth, my play group and I are creating our characters with the E-tools software from codemonkeypublishing.com (in fact it was their user forums that directed me here).
The E-tools software is full-functional character generating software that does all the math, lists all the skills, and lets you export your character to HTML (via XML style sheets, so you can tweak/edit/change the layout as you like).
I don't think there's a demo version - but a mock-up of one of my groups characters can be found here.
We're just making them in the E-tools and then manually re-entering what we "need to know" into the FG software.
Next up - finding good mapping software that exports in JPG or GIF.

I'll be incorporating Character (and Monster) XML dumps from my AD&D C.A.P. System - but they'll be for 1st Edition.
