Re: Caps lock indicator

I know there is no such option. I'm asking that this be added to the list of wanted features for future releases. As we see more and more budget laptop computers, wireless keyboards and Bluetooth keyboards, the caps lock light has become an endangered species. Having an indicator at the bottom of th...

Re: Vertical text - Classic menu

Somewhere, somehow, I managed to snag a TextMaker user manual dated 1987-2013. I think it covers Textmaker 2012. If you would like a copy of it, send me a private message with a valid e-mail address. I agree that supporting the dual interfaces is a logistical issue. Nonetheless, I also use the class...

Re: Section Break

Have you activated "Show paragraph marks"? [The backwards 'P' symbol in the menu.] I almost always work with that turned on, so that I can see what's happening in my document in real time.

FreeOffice on Raspberry PI?

Is it possible to install FreeOffice to a Pi Zero running the Raspberry operating system?

If it is possible, I would appreciate it if someone would post the instructions.

Thank you.

Re: Section Break

Using the classic menu, inserting a section break is easy: Insert>Break>Section Break Let me see if I can figure it out using the ribbon menu ... Easy: Insert tab. In the left-most panel ("Breaks"), click the small black triangle. From the drop-down menu, click "Section Break." T...

Re: Rendering problem on some PDF files.

I just encountered an issue with rendering through the FlexiPDF virtual printer from Microsoft Word. I participate fairly regularly on an Internet forum for authors. A forum member recently posted about not being able to find a font that seems to be a perfect match for a printed book whose interior ...

Caps lock indicator

I recently had to replace the keyboard in my laptop computer. The new keyboard doesn't have a caps lock indicator light. All three applications in SoftMaker Office 9TextMaker, PlanMaker, and Presentations) have an indicator on the bottom of the screen to indicate if the keyboard is in insert or over...

What's new?

I have purchased and downloaded FlexiPDF, but I have not yet replaced FlexiPDF 2022 on my computer. Is there a feature comparison chart that shows what's new in FlexiPDF 2025 compared to 2022? I'm not interested in the comparision between FreePDF and FlexiPDF. I'm looking for a feature comparison of...

Re: Installation fail

Sorry, but I'm back. I was able to get FreeOffice running on Linux Mint Cinnamon (Ubuntu) by installing manually. However, I didn't like the dual boot option, and I really wanted LMDE6, not the Ubuntu version of Mint Cinnamon. I have "upgraded" my Linux experimental computer to an older bu...

Linux Installation (again)

Sorry, but I'm back. I have "upgraded" my Linux experimental computer to an older but still functional Toshiba laptop. This one supports 64-bit. I have installed LMDE6 as the distro. It includes LibreOffice, but I really REALLY don't like LibreOffice so I want to install FreeOffice (for no...

Re: Autofit cell size to contents in Planmaker

Layout > Cells > Optimum Width + Optimum Height

This doesn't pre-set columns to automatically resize as you enter data, but it will resize to fit the cell contents. You can also double-click the column header and the column will size itself to fit the longest entry.

Re: Wrapping of text beside a frame

This is a well-known bug that has already been reported several times: When text wrapping is set to "Square" or "Contour", the distance of the left margin is no longer calculated from the page border (as it should be) but from the frame border. I hope SoftMaker will fix this soo...

Re: offline registration

Initial activation requires the computer to "phone home" to verify the activation key code. If I understand the OP's problem, he is on a company or organization network and their security filters won't allow his computer to connect to SoftMaker in order to complete the activation process. ...
