Probably the default settings for horizontal lines in your TextMaker and LibreOffice installations are different. How did you insert the line - via "Object > New drawing > Line"? In this case, just right-click the line, choose "Line properties..." from the context menu and make sure that in tab "Lay...

Yes, the trial version has the full feature range.

VBA macros do not run in SoftMaker Office. SoftMaker Office has its own scripting language; the scripting program is called BasicMaker and is only part of the full (paid) version, not the free version (FreeOffice).

Oh, now I see what you mean. In this case, just go to the sidebar, click "Organize" and then "New..." (or "New from text..." if you have already selected a paragraph with the desired formatting). Name the new paragraph style "Snowshed" and click OK. In the next dialogue box, go to tab "Style". The d...

When you uncheck "Display hierarchically" in the sidebar, paragraph styles are sorted aphabetically. By renaming styles you may regroup them.

When a great number of support enquiries comes in (a completely new version for Mac hast just been released) SoftMaker support can be lagging behind a bit. On the other hand, SoftMaker (a small firm with limited manpower) gives support free of charge via forum, mail and phone for an unlimited period...

1. To make things easier, your spreadsheet in PlanMaker should have field names in the first row (e.g. First Name / Name / Street / City / ZIP) and the data for each person in a separate row below. Make sure that the format for all cells in the table is set to "Text", otherwise fields containing fig...

I'm still not quite sure what exactly you need. In the attached document there are two possible examples. Example 1 is a shopping list where the same dropdown lists are used repeatedly (just copy & paste a list as often as needed). From each list items can be selected independently. Example 2 is a d...

Whenever TextMaker does crash and I select "Reopen" the last saved version is never restored. Why is that? Something is not right - please explain how the Reopen process works. In any case you should go to Tools > Options, tab "Files", and make sure that "Auto recovery" is checked and a short time ...

A closely related problem (correct single quotation marks in German) has been discussed extensively in the German forum, but unfortunately without a result so far. ( Here , with links to older discussions.) To make a long story short: In TextMaker, the apostrophe and the single quotation mark are as...

The equivalent program to Excel in the SoftMaker Office suite is PlanMaker. While PlanMaker is a full-fledged spreadsheet application, simple tables with the option to sum and sort are also available in TextMaker, the SoftMaker word processor. Generally, I recommend to take a look at the help functi...

Might be that an old preference option persisted, but I'm out of my depth here. SoftMaker should have a look at this issue.

As a result, I was using the Free Office version for a bit a long, long time ago. When I settled on Softmaker Office and purchased it, could that extra period have been somehow carried over from something I did a long time ago? To check this, I unearthed and tried an old copy of FreeOffice from 201...

In editing the number list format, you added a full stop (period) in the field "Numbering text". This isn't necessary, as it is added automatically by the program. Delete it, and everything is o. k. (see attached screenshot).

The easiest way is by creating a new SmartText entry: You go to Insert > SmartText... and click "New..." . For "Name of the new SmartText entry" you enter "--" and then you enter the en-dash or em-dash into the text field (either via the keyboard or by pasting a dash you copied before). Then "Save" ...
