Re: version numbers

1064 is the latest build of SoftMaker Office 2021. 1111 is the latest build of SoftMaker Office NX (2024 release). If you divide 3334 by three and remove the decimals, you have the build number. The reason is that, for historic reasons, we multiply the build number by 3 and add +0, +1 or +2. This pr...

Re: Spellchecking

Most of these are in the English dictionary for SoftMaker Office 2024.

If you have created this personal dictionary for SoftMaker Office 2021, you might want to remove the entries that SoftMaker Office 2024 now has by itself.

Re: Scrolling multiple pages

When you drag the scrollbar, there is a tooltip showing the "current" page with "current" meaning the scroll position. So you have that there.

The status bar shows the page of the caret.

Please give some examples of words that are missing.

We have SVG vector graphics support. Do people really use EMF on the Mac?

Re: Default font size

Many years ago, we had 12pt and people complained that they wanted 10pt.

Can't please everyone, but it is easy enough for the user to change.

Re: Styles list

These styles don't exist until you actually use them. These are built-in styles that are "suggestions" and created on demand, just like in Microsoft Word. Don't display "All styles" but "Styles in document" (which is the default) if you want the list of actually used st...

Re: Savoy Italic font

There is nothing wrong with our Savoy font. The line lengths of Sabon are also identical across weights and variations: https://www.myfonts.com/collections/sabon-font-linotype They also have an explanation: "Its bold, and particularly its italic styles are limited by the requirements of Linotyp...

Re: Spellchecking

It adds extra complication to the setup process which should be as easy as possible for the user, with as few questions and decisions as possible.

You can delete any dictionaries you don't need.

Re: Not a Bug: Printing an envelope results in endless printings

Just a wild guess: Are you using Print merge to print the envelope? That would be wrong, you have to use the regular print function (or "Print envelope" inside the Envelope dialog box).
