Master pages are a chapter-based feature, because allowing only one set of master pages per document would reduce the design options enormously. However, when I insert a chapter break into a document, the new chapter inherits the chapter format from the first one, including first, left and right ...

Wow!

I just took a novel of twenty chapters, approximately 150 pages, and re-formatted it using a graphic image (JPEG) as a page border, placing the page border image (and nothing else) on master pages. I had some surprises.

First, inserting a page border doesn't automatically put the border on ...

Thank you, Sir.

That's what I was hoping to hear (read).

I need some advice and guidance with respect to using master pages in TextMaker. First, some background:

Several years ago, the 12-year old daughter of a good friend wrote a charming little story about a young girl dragon who became a heroine. At Thanksgiving (the American holiday in late November ...

I have a master document (template) for a monthly newsletter that was created in Microsoft Word 2016. The format calls for article headlines to span the full (margin) width of the pages, but the body text of each article occupies two columns. In Word, this is accomplished by using a continuous ...

Update:

I just received an e-mail from an agency of the Connecticut (U.S.) state government citing a new requirement that ALL web sites and documents published or distributed by state and local government entities must comply with PDF/UA (ISO 14289) standards.

The Noto Color Emojis "font" is a Google monstrosity. If you are having problems with it, blame Google.

Right now, the Softmaker team is standing up for me. User woody 44 has given in and figured everything out.

How many times have I looked at that, and never seen it?

Thank you.

I found them and I have downloaded them.

Thank you.
