Re: Wrapping of text beside a frame

This is a well-known bug that has already been reported several times: When text wrapping is set to "Square" or "Contour", the distance of the left margin is no longer calculated from the page border (as it should be) but from the frame border. I hope SoftMaker will fix this soon...

Re: Balloon / Balloon No2 Lowercase letters

No, Balloon doesn’t have lowercase letters. Similar fonts in MegaFont NOW you might want to try are Antigone Compact Italic, Falcon Poster, Franklin Headline Italic, Josephs Brush Italic, Mercedes Serial Bold Italic, or the "Heavy Italic" or "Xbold Italic" cuts of sans serif font...

Re: Using and modifying basic template for Textwriter

How did you define the new font in the template? It is not sufficient to change simply the font; you have to change the character style „Normal“ via the "Styles" section in the "Home" ribbon (or Format>Character style in classic menus).

Nifty. You should add this to the „Tips and tricks“ section of your Website.

Re: Windows XP still in use?

I have Windows XP running in a virtual machine (without Internet connection) to keep access to a few old and specialised programs, a very old game that I still like and some databases that were published as appendices to some doctoral thesis or other (and never updated or renewed); but I have to adm...

Re: Converting text into table

You are right. This function is only available in the commercial version of TextMaker, not in FreeOffice.

Re: Images management

You are right. I knew this behaviour from former versions of TextMaker, but obviously it has been changed in the meantime. Now insertion as a picture frame is the standard when dragging an image into the text. So you will have to either convert the picture after inserting it or use the other method ...

Re: Images management

That depends on how you insert images. If you drag an image into the document when in Edit mode, it becomes an embedded image. With classic menus, choose Object > New picture... ( not Object > New picture frame...) to create an embedded image. With ribbons, click on the black triangle under Insert >...

Re: Images management

TextMaker knows two types of images: embedded images and image frames. When you simply drag an image into a document, the image type it will assume depends on the mode you are in: If you are in edit mode (as you will probably be most of the time) it becomes an embedded image, if you are in object mo...

Re: Genealogy Chart conversion to jpeg

All SoftMaker Office programs have a maximum paper size (print output) of 22'' x 22''. So I'm afraid this will not be possible.

Re: Are old versions available?

Many older versions of the FreeOffice website have been archived by the Internet Archive:

I don't know if downloading works from these archived pages but maybe it is worth a try.

Re: Hyphenation options

It is necessary if you want to make a change permanent, i.e. working for all future documents. Changes in the current document affect this document only, not the future ones. Every TextMaker document is based on a document template. If you don't choose one by yourself when creating a new document, T...

Re: Hyphenation options

Did you change the hyphenation for the current document and want it as standard for all new documents? In this case, you must open the document template "Normal.tmvx", change hyphenation and save it again.
