Despite some bugs, I am generally pleased with SMO on a number of points. 1. It's just so much easier on the eye than MS Office. 2. Workflow is so much easier, especially when it comes to the every day backend elements of adjusting images; stick on page is brilliant and prevents images from moving b...

Initially this worked in 2021 but no longer. I have to paste back into GIMP and copy from there slowing down modification of documents for print disabled students.

Many thanks. I will look on line for the codes I need.

Update - resolved this as either the bubble did not appear (could be keyboard issue) or text got underlined:

Hi, I prepare a lot of Maths for Braille Transcription - this requires the correct signs to be interpreted by Braille Translation software and I can't get Alt Codes to Work - is this only available for the Windows version of TextMaker 2021 (if at all?)

Thanks for responding - beginning to feel like a PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer! :oops: ) Forgot about setting default for all documents - easy to change in a new document with different font requirements - something that never worked in MS Office - it is so refreshing to use a decent Offi...

I found where basic roman is kept in SoftMaker and deleted it. I have tried to hide the font Times New Roman - can't find where this is buried. Even after deleting basic roman, whenever I copy and paste elements from a pdf using Okular it defaults to basic roman font size 10 despite having removed t...

Today I was converting a PowerPoint into a TextMaker document. I was copying some elements from a pdf that were text based/tables and not images. I had to use LIOS (Linux Intelligent OCR Software) to extract some text that was not from the text book pdf. When I edited earlier elements in the main te...

Thanks for the reply. I would prefer to delete it as if I have the 2021 in the panel, when I launch it the 2018 also appears and when I check on 'About' it says 2018 and not 2021!

I too have discovered an issue in 2018 and in 2021 beta still exists for Presentations created in PowerPoint do not show all the images - no such issue in LibreOffice - disappointing!

I recently purchased the Upgrade from 2018 to 2021 - can I safely delete everything 2018 without affecting the 2021 install? Thanks.

Sussed it - it is because the multiplication sign is in Symbol font - if you copy into Arial document it puts that font's equivalent Alt Code symbol there. :D Your post gave me the answer, plus I have been working on more Maths today within a document created by myself and if you create anything fro...

Just downloaded the 30-day free trial and it still behaves this way - think I will be sticking with 2018!

... when copying within Presentation or copying across to TextMaker inserts an inflection instead:

I was providing feedback for the Beta and all my posts have disappeared. Template cannot be altered:

One of the things I disliked in that other Office Suite is the inability to set a default font - I am aware that Presentations are sometimes using multiple fonts and styles but in my line of work a default font for the Presentation being worked on would be great - perhaps a 'toggle' switch for Defau...
