I don't use thumbnails very often so I hadn't noticed this, but after reading this discussion I did some checking. Not only do Abobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader allow the display of multiple columns of thumbnails if the thumbnail panel is dragged wider, so does the free FoxIt Reader and the free Bluebe...

It is almost a year later, and I still do not have a font manager that I can use. In addition to Megafont NOW, I have also tried FontBase (Miguel's suggestion), Nexus Font, and High-Logic MainType. All have been recommended or suggested by various people who (allegedly) use them successfully. I am o...

There have been several discussions in this area of the support forum pertaining to font equivalents, both between SoftMaker fonts and more well-known typeface names from major commercial type houses. and between SoftMaker's own MegaFont XXL and the newer MegaFont NEXT and MegaFont NOW collections. ...

I would like to add a further thought regarding digital signature verification: The whole point of digital signatures and third-party verification is to allow viewers to ascertain that the digital signatures on a document are valid. Digital signatures are supposed to work such that the digital signa...

Is there any update on this? As a self-published author who is starting to publish books for other authors as well as my own books, the ability to view a book as a two-page spread is invaluable. Please add this capability. You offer it in TextMaker -- we should be able to view PDFs the same way. Tha...

AHA! When I got the "Printer is off line" popup I was clicking Cancel. I chose Ignore instead and then I got the popup that lets me choose a printer. The next time I tried to print a spreadsheet I got the normal "choose your printer" popup. Interesting. I would not have thought ...

Interesting. I just checked, and this is a problem. There's more: I have a printer connected to my computer and always on. TextMaker prints to that printer with no issues. PlanMaker won't print to it. It recognizes that there is a default printer, but it reports that [default printer name] is off-li...

Can you post a sample in that font?

Another follow-up to the recent notification that SoftMaker has taken over direct control of the future development of FlexiPDF (and, I hope, FreePDF as well). The attached image is a screen shot from the free FoxIt PDF Reader. I have highlighted where it automatically pops up a panel notifying the ...

I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse, but I have read the e-mail from SoftMaker about the shift in development of FlexiPDF, and I hope this will result in adding features that will make FlexiPDF (and FreePDF) competitive with the competition. I mentioned above about adding a measuring tool. Not o...

Is there any news on when to expect the 2024 version of FreeOffice?

Thank you in advance.

"Check spelling as you type" is checked. How do I verify that the Hunspell dictionary for American English is installed? When I click the box for Hunspell dictionaries, I don't see anything listed. I guess that's what we call a "clue"? How do I install a dictionary? I am in the U...

Further update: I found a USB thumbdrive with an older version of FreeOffice on it. I don't know the year, but it's old enough that it doesn't offer the ribbon interface option. Maybe 2012 or 2015? On that one, spell checking works. I have checked all of them and they all have the language correctly...

Update:

I have FreeOffice 2021 installed on a Windows 10 laptop computer. I just tried a sample document on that computer and the same thing happened. I intentionally misspelled several words, and the spell check didn't pick up any errors.
