Re: How to remove a page?

Where is the page you want to remove? If it is an empty page at the end of the document (as in the original post), it may be sufficient to set the cursor at the end of the document and press the delete backwards key. If he page sits somewhere in the middle of the document, it is not so easy. Whereas...

Re: File Format

The .bak files are automatic backup files. Go to Tools > Options..., tab "Backup", and uncheck "Keep older versions of the document" to stop saving them.

Re: Paste as image

As a PlanMaker table is not an image, it cannot simply be copied and pasted as an image. You will need a printer driver which is able to write the print output into an image file. This image file can then be inserted in a TextMaker document.

Re: Question on breaks

The main function of section breaks is the option to change the number of columns without starting a new chapter. So you can format part of the text with a different number of columns while all chapter options stay the same. A section break can be combined with a page break but this is not necessary...

Re: Indented lines suddenly appearing

Just an idea: Could it be that an invisible empty text box sitting on the page pushes the lines to the right? In any case, it would be helpful if we could get an extract of the original document showing the issue.

Re: Concat numbers and strings in a cell

You are right. There is a bug in TextMaker. In the attached sample document, in the first line I define a variable named ID: ID="0025". By adding quotation marks, i have marked the value 0025 as a text string, not a number. But if I call this variable again in another calculation, the text...

I cannot quite follow you. Could you give us a sample document (with dummy values)?

Re: Concat numbers and strings in a cell

Why don't you simply write „Total: “ into the cell and then add the calculation? And in which context do you need 05022513 as part of a calculation?

Re: Looking for way to have list with check boxes

Of course it can also be done with AutoShapes. A bit more manual adjustment will be necessary. Proceed als follows: 1. Type all the entries (each one in a new paragraph). 2. Change to Object mode (View > Object mode). 3. Go to Object > New drawing > Rounded rectangle. 4. Draw a rectangle with the ap...

Re: Looking for way to have list with check boxes

I recommend using form objects to achieve this. Go to Object > New form object > Checkbox..., insert a checkbox and choose yellow as background colour via Format > Character. Then you can copy and paste it as often as you want. As the checkbox is treated by the program like a letter, there are no pr...
