Race Tab

The table in the upper-left contains the list of "Available" races. Click on one and you'll see more detailed info about it in the section to the right (this is referred to as the "info" pane on most of the character-related tabs in PCGen). Any requirements you don't meet for a given race will be displayed in a red italic font. If you cannot select a race due to an alignment restriction you can change your alignment on the Class tab (the alignment selection is in the lower-right corner). Once you have selected a Race its name will appear in the box next to the "Select" button.

The table on the bottom lists templates - all of the ones available are on the left and all the ones associated with the selected character are on the right.

There are "sliding dividers" between the race table and the info pane to its right - you can click on this divider and slide it back and forth to your preferred location. There's also a divider between the race section and the template section which you can drag up and down to change the viewing area of each. There's another divider between the available and selected templates. This combination of 3 sliding dividers is common to most of the character-related tabs to allow you to change how much screen real-estate is devoted to each section. On most tabs there's a button which has 2 circling arrows that will reverse the orientation of the views between horizontal and vertical. This gives you many options on the layout of the tab.
