13/60 rows feed all three versions as you type. Enter in a value starts the next row.

Keep this window

Edits you make are kept in this browser, on this device. Nothing is uploaded. Browser storage is not a backup, and clearing site data removes it. Save project downloads a file you can keep and open here later.

Approximate preview. Real destinations apply their own fonts, borders and spacing, and this tool has not yet been checked in any of them, so try one window in your destination's own preview.

What this version keeps, changes and removes

Kept
  • The title, as a header row
  • 10 labeled rows in two columns
  • 2 section headings
  • 1 full-width line
Changed
  • Colors written onto every cell
Removed
  • Nothing from your rows. A destination can still replace borders, padding and fonts
Credit, sharing and your destination note

Platforms can remove or rewrite the link. Plain text and narration never carry it.

A screenshot cannot hold a link, so this is the text to post beside one: Made with WriteIDE: https://writeide.com/tools/system-window-format-helper

Copies https://writeide.com/tools/system-window-format-helper?example=status-window. Links open a built-in example, and your own text never goes into one.

Your own note, kept with the project and never added to a version. The previews above are not a check.

Rich table

Copy HTML, open your editor's HTML or source view, and paste. In the Royal Road chapter editor that is the <> button. If a dark box loses its background somewhere, its light text can disappear with it, so switch Box color to No colors or use the table-free version.

Table-free

Authors report tables breaking on the way to Kindle and phone apps, and looking fine in a previewer until they do. This version trades the box for labeled lines. Copy HTML pastes into a source view or a rich-text editor, and Copy plain text is for places that take no formatting at all.

Narration

A window that reads in a second can take a long time to hear. The script says each row as a short sentence. Rules spell out common abbreviations, so check the receipt against your own system and edit the script freely.

Questions about this tool

Will a version look the same on Royal Road, Patreon, and Kindle?

No tool can promise that, and this one has not yet been checked in a real destination. Each platform applies its own fonts, borders, and spacing, and some drop colors or tables. The previews here are approximate, so paste one window into the destination's own preview before you rely on a version.

What happens to merged cells, images, and scripts in a paste?

The helper reads text, not layout. Lines of text are read as Label: value or as a short heading. Anything else stays as written, and the receipt lists it so you can fix it. In a table, a row that spans the whole table becomes a heading or a line. Other merged cells are flattened and the receipt names them so you can check the row. Images, scripts, forms, embedded media, hidden text, and pasted styling are removed, and every version is rebuilt from the plain text that is left. It reads one table per paste.

Does the narration version make audio?

No. It is editable text for a narrator, a text-to-speech app, or your own read-through. Simple rules spell out common abbreviations such as STR and HP and reword numbers such as 120/150, and the receipt lists what changed. The rules do not know your system, so check that HP really means Health in your story and fix any names by hand.

Where is my window saved?

In this browser's storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded. That copy can disappear if you clear site data, and a private window may not keep it, so it is a convenience and not a backup. Save project downloads a JSON file you can keep and open here later, and Clear from this browser removes the stored window.

Can I import a project into WriteIDE?

No. The desktop app does not read these project files. Paste the version you need into your chapter, or enter the rows again by hand. The project file only reopens in this tool.
