Re: Text entry difficulty

Thanks Jodi. I too have not found anything that fails to work on MacOS/Parallels. Maybe I’ll try reinstalling.

Inverted inverted commas (inverted "speech marks")

In my writing, I often need to quote part of something another person has written or said. This can very often be just a short phrase of part of a sentence, which I indicate by means of an ellipsis to signify preceding and/or following words that are omitted. I confess that I have struggled with thi...

Great idea for typesetting feature

Sometimes, when I want a document to look very smart, I spend a lot of time with multi-line titles, headings, captions, headers, footers, any text boxes, sometimes with last lines of paragraphs. and so on, fiddling with character pitch, letter spacing, 'leading,' and so on, to try to give blocks of ...

Re: Open Files in Tabs Rather Than Separate Program Instances?

I do so wish the SoftMaker developers could implement this soon.
Is it difficult? It's been a year now since first asked for.

BeckerCAD availability

I've just been absolutely delighted to discover that SoftMaker sells BeckerCAD, Looks like it has been a SM product for at least a couple of years, I missed that, whenever it was. I believe it was previously available for MacOS as well as for Windows. although, alas, SM seems to be offering it now f...

Re: Classic menu still available?

I have tried and tried to like the 'ribbon' GUI but, after some years of trying, I still very much dislike it. Why oh why did Micro$oft ever come up with this awful interface? Two reasons why do I so dislike it : (1) I still do not find it intuitive, and I still find sometimes that I have to search ...

Check for updates not working.

Using your website, I note that SMO ver.1044 was made available some time ago, and yet
when I use TM>Help>Check-for-updates, my TM 1042 responds wrongly that there are no updates available.

I will download the update manually.

Re: All text-box formatting broken in PDF export

Thank you SuperTech. I confess I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'embedded text objects.' I often use text boxes in my diagrams. Do you mean these? Also, even if I have used 'embedded text objects, should TextMaker's .PDFs not still look the same as its .docx source files? I have not investigat...
