Grouping the objects and then converting the result back into an embedded object seems to be the best approach in my case. Although it works, it is still more cumbersome than the Microsoft handling of annotations. Thanks for your help - I'll being using your suggested approach when next writing docu...

While documenting programs I frequently need to paste screen captures into a TextMaker document. In many cases I'd like to add annotations (rectangular boxes, arrows, etc.) to draw attention to certain areas of the image. This is proving very cumbersome in TextMaker since: 1) If I try to overlay, fo...

I've turned off the Live Preview option under File > Options > Appearance to see if that helps. I suspect that may, indeed, be the cause of this problem. Is there any way to specify what program should be used for doing previews? Thanks, Wayne

I was mistaken - the MS Word error messages occurred when I did an Insert > Document where both the original document and the inserted document were produced by TextMaker. There are two error messages generated as shown in the attached image. I've also attached the sminfo.txt file. Hope this helps! ...

Folks, When exiting from TextMaker I seem to frequently get an error message from Microsoft Word as shown in the attached image. This seems very odd since MS Word isn't running at the time the message appears! The error message (and one following) go away after I click on OK and everything seems to ...

I'm not sure what it is in my "problem" document that is causing the text to be grayed out, but fortunately the Paste unformatted text option prevents the problem! Many thanks, Wayne

I'm not sure if this is a new problem, but when I copy text from (for example) Yahoo Mail or Gmail and paste it into some TextMaker documents the result is grayed out text as shown in the attached screen shot. This problem does not seem to arise if I paste the text into a new TextMaker document, but...

I still don't know what is causing this behavior, but I have found that the situation can be "corrected" by selecting the table in TextMaker 2018 and then, under Table styles , applying the Standard style. This action immediately corrects the fonts for the entire table & all is well! -...

Folks,I've attached a small DOCX file containing the first few lines of a Word table. When viewed with Word 2007 all the entries in the table are in Calibri 12. However, looking at the same document in TextMaker - starting with the second line - all the entries are in Times New Roman 12! I can selec...

It is now possible to directly edit files stored in Google Drive (e.g. in https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive) using a program stored on your computer. It is only necessary to right-click on the file and select "Open with...". This approach works fine when I select the Word 2007 progra...

Richard, Thanks for the info! I resolved the problem by unchecking the "Use automatic hyphenation" option under File > Options > Language in the normal.tmvx template. My original error was in just turning off Hyphenation (in the template) under Home > Paragraph > Text flow. In any case, al...

Jossi - many thanks! I'm sorry that I didn't originally notice this option under File>Options>Language. (I was rather expecting to find this choice under File>Options>Edit). In any case, thanks again for your help.

I'd like to turn off the automatic hyphenation option. I've modified the normal.tmvx file to specify "Never" under Paragraph > Text flow > Hyphenation:, but every time I start a new document it seems that automatic hyphenation if turned ON! Is there some other way to change the default hyp...

I've just upgraded from FreeOffice 2018 to TextMaker 2018. Unfortunately, the problem described below still exists in the upgraded program even though it was my understanding that the developers had been made aware of this situation some time ago. Hopefully, the NEXT service pack will solve this pro...
