Re: Eliminating Blank Lines Between Paragraphs

Re search and replace: Go to Edit > Replace... In the dialog box, click Special > Paragraph mark twice for the search field and once for the Replace field. Click "Replace all" and there you are. I think this is easier than using an additional text editor.

Re: Transparent background for pictures

Right-click the picture, choose "Picture: Properties...", tab "Picture", and there "Color" and "Tolerance" in the section "Transparency".

Re: Rotating text boxes?

In text box properties, tab “Inner text", there is the option "Rotate by". 90° or 270° will do the trick.

Re: How to enable OpenType options?

Unfortunately, TextMaker still does not support advanced OpenType features. This has been my foremost request for years.

Re: Fancy text options?

I don't know the MS Word feature, but TextMaker has TextArt (Object > New drawing > TextArt... with classic menus, Insert > TextArt object with ribbons).

Re: Ligatures?

If TextMaker would support OpenType features, this shouldn't be a problem. I've been waiting a long time now for OTF support, but since the introduction of kerning in 2008 TextMaker is seriously lagging behind in typographical features.

Re: Transferring Setup Template File

FreeOffice doesn‘t have this feature. This leaves you with the option to copy the "settings" folder.

Could it be that you are still using SoftMaker Office 2018? The "Manage" feature was introduced with SMO 2021. Or is it FreeOffice?

Re: How to copy options/settings to another computer

Hi,

when you go to Tools > Options, there is a button „Manage...“ in the lower left corner of the dialog box. It allows to export your settings and to import them into another instance of SoftMaker Office. W10 or W11 doesn't make a difference, as these are internal settings of SMO.

Re: Text entry difficulty

Well, I can only say that FlexiPDF works here flawlessly on a Mac with Parallels Desktop, and always has, including typing text in text boxes.

Re: How make picture transparent ?

In FlexiPDF itself there is no such option. You may select the picture frame, right-click, choose "Image" from the context menu and then "Edit..." or "Edit with..." from the submenu to open the picture in a graphics program of your choice to make it transparent. As a qu...

Re: New dark mode

I'm right there with you, Woody. The first computer I bought was an Atari ST, because at the time it was the only computer (other than the prohibitively expensive Mac) that had a decent black-on-white display.

Re: Scans are black

I admit that this is a very annoying error. But as the SoftMaker people can't reproduce it either, how about a workaround: Instead of importing from scanner into FlexiPDF, why not do the scan with any scanning program, save as PDF and open the PDF in FlexiPDF?

Re: Paste Without Formatting

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as unformatted text in TextMaker. Text always has formatting (font, style, size). "Paste as unformatted text" means that the pasted text will take the formatting of the place it is pasted into, while "Paste as formatted text" means it wil...
