Text to Speech

Any chance of enabling MacOS reader to work with Textmaker 2024? All that happens when you try is that the file name is read out.

The simplest app like TexEdit is able to read the document so why can't Textmaker, what is preventing it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Reading Aloud

Well that's a pain, especially as there is a good speech engine built into MacOS, even the basic 'TextEdit' of MacOS can access it, what is preventing Softmaker doing the same, I mean it reads the file name alright, why not the rest of the page?

Re: Text to Speech

Thank you, this will bring Textmaker into line with other apps on the Mac, and certainly, in my case, be the default app and I am sure many other Mac users too.

Text to Speech

Hello, is there anyway to enable text to speech in Softmaker Office on a Mac? In other programs, including Firefox, I can just highlight text, alt+esc and it reads the text. This would be really useful and I could transition from Libre Office. All that happens in Textmaker is that it reads the file ...

Hyphenation Setup

Hello,

Is there a way, please, of setting 'no hyphenation' as the default setting for all new documents to obviate the need to do it per document.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Phrases don't appear in Index

I doubt there will be a fix as the latest version is 2021 and they are probably working on 2022 version right now.

Re: Wide spaces between words in justified text

I don't suppose you can. Once you have used a DTP you realise how limited a word-processor is - you don't have to be a professional to appreciate that. You also understand that word-processors can leave code in the text that is a pain when importing into a DTP. Opening your document in a text editor...

Re: Programs will not open

Try right-clicking on the .exe file and choose 'Run as administrator'. I have had similar problems and this has done the trick - most of the time :)

Re: Wide spaces between words in justified text

I don't know what your purpose for this text is, but I would nuke the entire document in Notepad, or your plain text editor of choice - mine is Notepad++. This will clear any corruption and codes from the previous application and leave you with a clean text file. You can then open/import this into a...

Right-Click menu addition

Hi, As a long term MS Word user I have become used to right-clicking after selecting some text and being able to perform a number actions on that text - such as changing the font size, weight, typeface etc., etc., which appears in a separate box above the usual right-click functions. With that in mi...

Accented characters

Is it possible to enable the selection of accented characters by holding down the character key and have the selection show up as per other programs on a Mac? As I use accented characters a lot this would be great to have. Thanks.
