Re: Suggestion: Add Formatting Options When Right-Clicking Selected Text

There’s no accounting for taste. :) The mere fact that something pops up on its own bothers me. TextMaker’s context menu does essentially the same thing, but it only appears when I call it up. But when it comes to things like that, everyone has their own preferences.

Re: Suggestion: Add Formatting Options When Right-Clicking Selected Text

I must admit that I’m not a fan of any controls that appear automatically (without me doing anything). That’s the typical MS Word way of imposing its suggestions on the user. I prefer SoftMaker’s approach, where you have to explicitly call up what you want. Just my 2 cents.

Re: How do You Vertical Center Text on a Page For a Cover Sheet?

Hi Satch,

you will need a text box to do this. Create a Text frame, go to "Properties" in the context menu and set „Vertical Position“ to Centered / Page / 0 cm.

Re: Need Tips and Tricks Combining Photos With Text

It‘s in the general options, so it will work for all new documents until it is changed. If it is set to „Always“, all inserted images are placed in the upper left corner which is in most cases inconvenient (to say the least). Personally, I keep it at „Never“; this allows me to draw a rectangle with ...

Re: Need Tips and Tricks Combining Photos With Text

First of all, go to Tools > Options, tab "General", and set "Insert frames and drawings immediately" to "Auto". If this doesn’t help, set it to „Never“.
If this doesn’t solve your problem, please note that TextMaker has two different ways of inserting images: either as an object frame or as an ...

Re: "Printing" to PDF Questions

If FlexiPDF's virtual printer doesn't meet all your needs, you could try eDocPrintPro (https://www.pdfprinter.at/en/). This is a free, highly flexible virtual printer which allows you to embed fonts and define page sizes. It hasn't let me down yet.

Re: Can you copy and paste formats and create gray boxes?

As you cross-posted your question in the Mac forum and in the iOS forum, you will find my answer in the iOS forum (for both systems). Please ask questions in one place only to avoid confusion.

Re: Can you copy formats and create grayed out text boxes?


Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to copy and paste formats in TextMaker, just like it is is possible to do in Word. I can't find a way to do this in either the Mac version or the ipad version.
A quick and easy way to transfer a format is by using the Format painter on the Home ribbon (in ...

Re: Is there a way to exactly size a form field?

The easiest way is to activate the grid (View > Grids and Guides > Snap to grid). Then you can draw a textbox form field with exactly the measures you need.

Re: Line spacing in bullets

As every bullet starts a new paragraph, you can solve this via paragraph format by inserting an appropriate paragraph spacing before.

Re: Bullet points missing

A sample document would be helpful. If the document contains private information you might replace the text with something harmless and retain the document structure.

Re: apostrophe

Are you talking about apostrophes or about quotation marks? If your problem is that quotation marks are looking like „this“, go to Tools > Options, Tab “General”, click “Auto correction...” and set “Smart quotes” to your language, “Auto” or “None”.
