Re: Can't update

If it doesn't work:
1. uninstall SoftMaker Office (or Free Office)
2. download the latest version from our website
3. install it again
Thanks! Will give it a shot.

When I try to update to service pack 972 I get a pop up window that says: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

any idea how I can get this to update?
Thanks!

I currently have Softmaker on 2 Windows 10 computers, and 1 Linux computer. I'm trying to install on another Linux computer which would ma...

[Solved]Linux trial version missing

I don't see the Linux download for Softmaker on your home page. Am I missing something?
I need to reinstall it as I had to reinstall my Linux OS.
Never mind. I found it under PC and Mac.

Concerns about data and other info collection

We Linux folks are a paranoid bunch in general :) I posted about the Freemaker version on a Linux forum and there were some concerns about your product: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=270056&p=1473991#p1473991 Particular concerns involved what info Softmaker collects on us...

That explains it :) Thank you very much!

Full Linux Version

I previously purchased the Linux version. Why is it so hard to find a way to download it? I have a new computer to download it to but all I can find are trial versions and my licenses on the softmaker site and not downloads for purchased version. How do I find that?
Thanks.

Re: Pay for software in Linux?

I love free software. And I love software like Softmaker that is a great value for the price. Linux is more than just a free OS. Ask those guys at Redhat.

Re: Saving as .docx with TM 2016 and saving as .docx with TM 2018. What is the difference?

Thanks guys! I suppose there must be some advantage to Softmaker having its own file format, but I'm wary of that idea and being stuck with a file that could potentially be impossible to open. One reason I really like the open file formats. Nevertheless, really loving Softmaker and especially Textma...

Re: Saving as .docx with TM 2016 and saving as .docx with TM 2018. What is the difference?

Am I correct in thinking that if I use the default .tmdx file format it can only be read and opened by Textmaker? For instance, if I uploaded and tried to open that file in Google docs it would be unreadable by Google Docs?

Re: Is it possible to run both 2016 and 2018 on the same computer?

I've got both running on Windows 10 with no issue. I did make sure my file types under settings like doc and docx were associated with the 2018 version, so that is the one that opens those files. If I right-click on a file it only gives me the option of the newer 2018 version, but I imagine you coul...
