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: Track Changes in TextMaker?
Note: If you use the Classic menu (which I prefer), Track Changes is found on the Tools menu:
Tools > Changes > Track Changes.
Tools > Changes > Track Changes.

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 ...

Re: Reset character formatting button on the Home tab
That's not what the Reset button in the character formatting dialogue does, but I don't know how to properly explain its function.
If you want to return the formatting to the Normal style, you need to change the style to "Normal," not reset.

Re: Save my own template
Open the character formatting dialogue. (I use the Classic menu, so I can't tell you where that is on the ribbon.)
Change the font and size to Palatino and 16-point.
At the bottom, click the button for "Set as Default."
This will open another pop-up, that asks if you want to make it the default ...

Re: Windows font manager?
I have posted previously that the font manager needs a user manual. It is NOT "pretty self-explanatory." In fact, it is not at all self-explanatory. I bought the Megafont NOW collection several years ago so I have the font manager and I have tried to use it. How it works and what it does is ...
