Softmaker - Are you looking for Perpetual Licenses - 2026-07-22_011935.png
one is take to a web page where the first three items for sale are non-perpetual ...

Greetings,

The option of purchasing a perpetual license was noticeable by its absence on SM's website. I find this troubling.

Over the decades I've been using computers, I've noticed quite a few software companies that have adopted the attitude that, if [insert name of megacorp software company ...

Greetings,

I am not a beta tester, but I am curious whether some long standing TextMaker defects have been corrected yet.

Of primary/urgent importance:
1. Changeable defaults for subscripts, superscripts, and pasted images/etc.
It's been weeks, but my fingers literally still hurt. I use ...

Greetings,

FWIW, I tend to agree with Jossi. I continue to hate the way that the search feature now also screws up the corresponding side panel; encouraging SM to fiddle further is encouragement misspent.

Thanks for sharing!

Dear ST,

I wouldn't say my files are as much confidential as they are tedious. Still, I shall send the files to the e-mail address you supplied. You are welcome to post your findings here, so as to assist our brethren.

Greetings Other Richard,

Note: all of the following is from memory; buyer beware.

My solution has always been to manually edit the text. While TM's (mostly wonderful and powerful) search and replace function allows only a tiny number of special characters to be inserted for searching and/or ...

Greetings,

I assumed that the OLE problems I've had with TM and SEE (Softmaker's Equation Editor) "in the past"* were due to peculiarities with SEE or TM's handling of SEE, not with OLE objects in general. I was therefore taken unawares when RFFlow documents inserted into TM documents as OLE ...

Gosh, if it isn't my favorite author, greetings!

You may be interested in knowing (assuming that you don't already) that Softmaker got its start (AFAIK; corrections welcome) with TextMaker, which was then a WordStar alternative. Per the 2010 version of TextMaker's manual (the oldest version I have ...

Greetings,

I should have mentioned the following two years ago, but what's two years between brother SMO'ers. ;-)

Like any/every quality software company, SoftMaker actually produces proper manuals for their products. (Truly, I can't imagine why anyone uses SM's lower quality competitor!) And, in ...

Sadly, I can confirm that the problem still exists.

Dear lgsl,

Thanks for the reply, and do accept my apologies for my belated response.

N.B. I am writing this under far from ideal conditions; please make allowances.

On the one hand, you have explained my reasoning for doing what I attempted to do: the most obvious interpretation of the ...

Dear Lgsl,

Thanks for your continuing attention to this matter.

It would seem that we are having a problem communicating, as your example demonstrates the issue I reported, not its resolution.

If you examine the screen capture you produced, you will surely notice that, when the character style ...

Dear Dozius,

Regrettably I am not capable of helping you, but, since you have yet to receive any help, perhaps I can point you in the direction of how you can help yourself. Then again, someone from SoftMaker will likely reply eventually, so feel free to ignore this and just remain patient.

In ...

Dear Lgsl,

Thanks for the reply. Regrettably, your reply seems to overlook three important points:
1. The character styles “SuperScript”, “SubScript”, and “Math” are all “based upon” the style “(floating)”, and not, as you wrote, “Normal”. Or at least they should be.
Character Style SuperScript ...
