Re: Upgrade from Office Standard 2021

Whilst I realise that it is not my place to criticise SoftMaker on their business decisions, I would just like to say that I consider the lack of an upgrade path from standard version to standard version to be very disappointing. Regardless of the difference in price involved, 'forcing' users who wa...

Re: Upgrade from Office Standard 2021

Ok thanks. So basically there is no upgrade path from Office Standard 2021 to Office Standard 2024 - only Office Standard 2021 to Office Professional 2024.

Upgrade from Office Standard 2021

I have been a VERY happy Office Standard 2021 user ever since I discovered SoftMaker Office, and today received an email notifying me of the release of Office 2024. Since I don't need the extra NX functionality (ChatGTP, translations, etc.) I was intending on upgrading to Office Standard 2024. Howev...

Re: Beta Hyjacks File Associations Without Permission

When you open any file associated with SoftMaker Office, it will open in the most recently used SoftMaker Office version, this is a feature for user's convenience. E.g. you opened TextMaker 2024 while other versions are installed, next time whenever you will open any DOCX (which is associated with ...

Re: Beta Hyjacks File Associations Without Permission

The options in the setup program are about the non-SoftMaker file formats (docx etc.). It is those formats which HAVE been hijacked (.doc, .docx etc.). As per the OP - ALL filetypes have been transferred to the Beta, not just the SoftMaker ones. But the problem is easy enough to fix: just run the o...

Re: Beta Hyjacks File Associations Without Permission

This happened to me too - despite not checking any of the 'file association' boxes via a Custom install - and there doesn't seem to be a way to easily reset them all to Office 2021 in one go. Is there a way to do this (I have tried via 'Default Apps' settings - and it does not work)? I have also tri...

Feature Request: Search (& Replace)

Currently TextMaker clears the "Search" results pane if the item searched for is then modified in the document text. This then requires a repeat of the search to refresh the results. It would be great if only the changed entry was removed (or - if that's not possible - the search repeated ...

Re: Unable to print - textmaker keeps reverting to fax

I click on the down arrow and change the printer from FAX to my HP Printer, but when I click on OK, it just reverts to FAX. I have had this too since the 1044 update. Sometimes it will allow me to select a printer but 9 times out of 10 the fax issue occurs. Hopefully it is something which can be fi...

Re: How to avoid overwriting in a cell

That only happens in my version of PlanMaker if I press the INSERT key (which toggles INSERT/OVERWRITE mode) before/while editing a cell. Maybe your INSERT key defaults to OVERWRITE?

Re: Stop creation of "C:\Users\<myusername>\Documents\SoftMaker" Folder?

Uninstalling and re-installing SoftMaker Office has fixed the issue - the "SoftMaker" folder is now created in "E:\Documents" automatically. Thank you for your help.

Re: How to clear "Recent Files" list?

Ah - my bad - I didn't connect the terminology "unpinned items" with "recent files". Apologies.

Re: How to clear "Recent Files" list?

Thank you - much appreciated - since I do not use the ribbon interface I could not find this option! Is there any likelyhood that a "Delete all unpinned items" entry might be added to the standard "File" menu in the future to avoid having to change the interface in order to acces...
