Re: Horizontal Line Display
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...

Re: Cell Comments
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).

Re: Rearrange the order of paragraph styles
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...

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

Re: Middle mouse button pression causes crashes
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...

Re: Mail Merge
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...

Re: Auto Repeat Fields
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...

Re: Release version continues to crash
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 ...

Re: Incorrrectly turned inverted comma
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...

Re: Newbie Question part 2
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...

Re: Edit the List Number Style
Might be that an old preference option persisted, but I'm out of my depth here. SoftMaker should have a look at this issue.

Re: Edit the List Number Style
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...

Re: Edit the List Number Style
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).

Re: How do I automatically replace two hyphens in a row with en-dash or em-dash (0336)?
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" ...
