BasicMaker functions to control TextMaker Guides

I have created a script to create a document to create a book cover. The size of the document is calculated by the number of pages of the intended book block.

Re: Text flow between boxes

That way, you can format the book without worrying about linking/sizing text boxes?

See attached example.

Re: Default page size

Thanks, Jossi. Perfectly sensible. Only sorry that my name is now forever associated with such a silly question!

Default page size

There seems to be no way to set the default page size on TextMaker 2018 to A4. It keeps reverting to the irritating Letter size.

Am I missing something?
