Re: Applying "smart" typography to imported text

Are you pasting as formatted text, or unformatted text? If the font in effect at the point of insertion supports smart (curly) quotes, pasting as unformatted text should allow the smart quotes to be entered automatically.

Re: Feature Request-A Thesaurus for TextMaker in Free Version

The commercial version of FreeOffice (SoftMaker Office) includes a thesaurus. While it would be nice to have that in the free version, I think it's unrealistic to expect a completely free and very functional software package to include everything that's in the paid version.

I know. I am requesting that you develop italics for both of them. They're nice fonts, but essentially useless without true italics.

Font request

The Megafont NOW collection includes a really nice typeface named Adderley. However, it only offers a Regular type file. Is there any possibility of adding a set of true Italics for this typeface? The computer-generated pseudo-Italics are unacceptable.

Same request for Amos.

Thanks.

Looking for an equivalent/clone

Is any of the fonts in the Megafont NOW collection an equivalent to Bitstream Aldine 721?

I'd like to add Aldine to my installed fonts, for book typesetting. I can buy it from Bitstream, but if I already have a similar font in the Megafont NOW package I'd rather use that.

Re: Love Softmaker Free Office! (A Review)

Very good review, and (with the exception of dark mode) I agree with all you wrote.

Clarification: For those who prefer dark mode, the fact that FreeOffice offers it is very much a good thing. I simply don't like it, but I am a visually oriented person. I want to see what my documents will look ...

In Excel, I just need to right-click on the row and select Cut, which removes the row and copies it to the clipboard.
Then I paste it in the new location with Insert Copied Cells.
Excel doesn't do this for me.

Re: Sheet arrow buttons don't work?

You are correct -- they don't work correctly. Hold down the CTRL key while clicking on one of the arrows.

Re: Cursor invisible in formula input box


Whether I have single or double clicked the cell does not seem to make a difference. Scrolling with the cursor in the formula box seems to be what triggers it.

I use Nvidia driver version 591.86, which should be new enough and is the newest windows update offers, I will not experiment with even ...

Are you certain you are following the steps? I had no trouble changing the default font.

Re: Cursor invisible in formula input box


But now when I scroll down in the worksheet, the cursor disappears. After scrolling, even if click again on the formula in the input box, the cursor does not show up. The cursor still seems to exist as I can type in the box just fine or move the cursor around by clicking or using the left / right ...

"Printing" to PDF Questions

I self-publish books through Amazon KDP. The preferred upload to Amazon is a PDF with fonts embedded.

I just tried to create a PDF from a third-party program (app) using the FlexiPDF virtual printer. The page size of the document is 6 inches by 9 inches (a standard book size in the U.S.). FlexiPDF ...
