Re: How do I permanently add a new color?

Open the "Normal" template, create your custom color(s), then save the template. If you will only need that color in certain docments, you can create a new template for use with the custom color(s).

Pages 163 and 566 of the user manual. (The English version.)

Re: The list numbers starts outside the margin

Be sure you have the visual rulers turned on, then inspect where your rulers are showing the margins for the paragraphs in the numbered list. The default should look like this:

Note that the indentation markers in the horizontal ruler are indented by 0.25". That's the ...

Re: hierarchical numering - I can't do it, why?

Dissregard the fact that I use the classic menu system. The dialoge box should be the same.

Re: View Single Doc within Multiple Tabs?


Thank you Woody44. I tried what you suggested, and it's certainly workable - if I have two different files.

So I've made a copy and have the original in one iteration of TM, and the copy in the second iteration of TM.

I do wish, though, this could be done with a single file in 2, or even 3 ...

Re: View Single Doc within Multiple Tabs?

I thought it could be done with one file. The second iteration loads as a read-only copy. I just tried that, and it refused to load the second iteration of the file. Interesting.

SoftMaker - please consider adding this functionality to a future update.

Re: View Single Doc within Multiple Tabs?

I just open two iterations of TextMaker and size each window to half the screen. That makes it very convenient for moving back and forth. Typically, I have a manuscript open in one window and the outline open in a second window.

Re: Weird word count bug in TextMaker 2024

Even more peculiar, regarding contractions:

Both "can't" and "don't" count as two words.

one two three can't five six.

and

one two three don't five six.

report as seven words.

But while "don't" is a contraction for two words, "can't" is a contraction of one word: "cannot." If I change "can ...

Re: Weird word count bug in TextMaker 2024

Thank you for tracking this down. It happens that I recently entered a writing context, too, and I found that the word count reported in TextMaker didn't match up with the word count reported by the web site the contest uses as its official word count judge. Now I know why.

SoftMaker, please fix ...

Re: Page Numbers in Chapters that appear in left/right pages

When there are blank left-hand pages so new chapter begin on a right-hand page (which is the correct way to format books), the blank left-hand pages should NOT have any header, footer, or page number. They are BLANK.

Re: Hyperlinks not recognized

That worked -- thank you.

It's more than a little counter-intuitive. It's not necessary to switch to a different tool in Adobe or FoxIt.

Hyperlinks not recognized

I have a small newsletter that was created in Microsoft Word and converted to PDF using Word's native export-to-PDF function. One of the articles includes three hyperlinks to web pages. The hyperlinks work properly in Adobe Reader XI and in Foxit Reader, but they do not work in FlexiPDF 2022. Is ...
