Need Tips and Tricks Combining Photos With Text

Hello,

While I am amazed that it is so much easier to format text with graphics in Textmaker compared to Word, I still have trouble getting the text to appear at the top of the page and the graphics to appear below the text. What usually happens is that the photo will be at the top of the page and ...

Feature Request-A Thesaurus for TextMaker in Free Version

Hello Softmaker!

My feature request would be to bring a Thesaurus to Free Office TextMaker 2004. It would be perfect for academic writing and would help with finding synonyms for over-used words, giving an even greater edge to the already outstanding free Textmaker software.

Thank you for this ...

Re: Service Pack Update Fails to Download and Install

Thank you!!!

Worked on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Much faster process on Windows 11 (But Windows 10 works better for me in all other ways.) Wondering why I would have to reinstall over the previous install? I have used Softmaker Free Office for about six years and the updates were always ...

Service Pack Update Fails to Download and Install

Dear Softmaker,

Got an update notice that a new service pack was available. Went to download and install it through the "Check for Updates" menu, and it said the update was not available. It said run the Repair installer, so I did and restarted. No change. Screenshots added. This was on Windows 10 ...

Re: Microsoft Office vulnerability

Hello!

Users will find Sofmaker Office to be safer to use and less vulnerable to security risks because of the stricter European Union rules that govern the German company Softmaker. I love their commitment to security (since 1987!) and it really shows in their products and resources.

Love Softmaker Free Office! (A Review)

Dear SoftMaker,

Having used SoftMaker Free Office for many years on my laptop, I have since removed Office 2010, and replaced it with SoftMaker Free Office 2024 on my desktop.

I did this because while Office 2010 was working OK, I wanted a more streamlined and simpler to use interface. I refuse to ...

Re: Nice Envelope Creator Software!

As you know, one mild drawback of Free Office is you cannot print envelopes.

How do you evaluate the solution proposed by Robin Holt in your other thread ?

Greetings!

I have not yet installed Free Office, but am looking at it for future options for relatives and friends. Has anyone else tried ...

Nice Envelope Creator Software!

Hey Guys,

As you know, one mild drawback of Free Office is you cannot print envelopes. This is a very cool utility from Major Geeks that allows simple envelope creation. It took me a bit to find the #10 envelope option under printer settings, but it is there! The only critique that I have is that ...
