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.

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

Can you use the Windows Snipping Tool as a work-around?

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.

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

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 ...

I have doPDF, but since I bought FlexiPDF I would really like it if it would do what needs to be done.

On the page size issue: I went through the exercise of creating a custom page size. It didn't work. I set the page size for 6" x 9", and it created am image of the text formatted as it should ...

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 ...

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

PDF/UA-1 has been around since 2012 and is the current standard in the U.S. PDF/UA-2 is what is still in development, and that is not yet a required standard in most of the U.S.

Yeah, that is surprising. SoftMaker Office usually focuses on performance and compatibility, but missing PDF/UA support feels like a big gap, especially for accessibility. With Microsoft Office and LibreOffice already supporting it, hopefully it’s something they prioritize soon.


Here in the ...

Will the improvements only be in SoftMaker Office NX? I have SoftMaker Office Professional -- will that also receive the additional spreadsheet functions?

Has this glitch been fixed yet?

If SoftMaker knows that the discrepancy is caused by counting punctuation as words, then SoftMaker can fix it. LibreOffice Writer and Microsoft Word agree on the word count. Softaker TextMaker should NOT be off by 31 words.
