Re: I have 2021 on one computer and now can't update 2018 on another computer

I bought Softmaker 2021. After uninstallng Softmaker 2018 from my secondary computer, I could install Softmaker 2021 just fine. I have the original Softmaker 2018 installation file, the relevant activation code, etc. But there is no point in struggling with 2018 rather than simply install the purcha...

Re: I have 2021 on one computer and now can't update 2018 on another computer

I could not reinstall Softmaker 2018, although I kept the original installation code etc. I tried a "repair" installation as well. No luck. But I could install Softmaker 2021 so there is no reason to spend more time on this matter. Thanks for always attending to questions. It creates and m...

Re: I have 2021 on one computer and now can't update 2018 on another computer

Textmaker 2018 (rev 970.0826) 64bit. I have only Windows 10 Security (Windows Defender) running on this machine, not Malwarebytes Pro used on my main computer. No idea whether Defender could be preventing the update.

Solved (kind of): I have 2021 on one computer and now can't update 2018 on another computer

I use Softmaker 2021 on my main computer but still have Softmaker 2018 on another computer. There is a "New Service Pack" available for 2018 but when I try to download it I get the message "Error Calling SoftmakerUpdaterTool.exe". Am I blocked from updating 2018 once I've startin...

Re: Bug in S1018.0818 version?

Thanks for your advice. It solved my problem although it might be misunderstood by someone following this thread. This is the way I understood you, after giving the matter some thought: The language used in a document does not determine the automatic superscription of "st", "th" ...

Bug in S1018.0818 version? (SOLVED)

I attach a new document, written with the new version of Textmaker (TextMaker Professional 2021 (rev S1018.0818) 64bit), in which the automatic superscription of "th", "rd", "st" etc did not happen. Should I adjust some setting?

Bug discovered, I think. (SOLVED, SEE PREVIOUS THREAD ABOUT THIS MATTER)

I attach a short Textmaker 2021 document in which the "th" of "23th August" did not (and will not) automatically turn to superscript, after pressing the spacebar. You will see that the "th" of "16th" and the "th" of "24th" in the same short...

Re: Keyboard input disabled by adjusting template: Textmaker 2021 text window remains blank

This incident showed that "complete erasure" of Softmaker 2021 -- including deletion of the settings stored in the appdata/roaming folder -- might be necessary in some cases where the program won't perform normally. Unless I accidentally switched to Object Mode thus disabling keyboard text...

Re: Keyboard input disabled by adjusting template: Textmaker 2021 text window remains blank

Thanks very much for your prompt feedback. The only way I could fix the problem of the Textmaker 2021 text window not responding to keyboard input, was by doing the following: 1. I uninstalled Softmaker 2021 deleting every possible remnant of the program I could find, using the program RevoUninstall...

Keyboard input disabled by adjusting template: Textmaker 2021 text window remains blank

I made adjustments to my default Textmaker 2021 template. Afterwards, I could not type text into my text window any longer. The text window remains blank; it does not respond to keyboard input. I tried a "Repair" installation of Softmaker 2021 and also a fresh installation after uninstalli...

Re: How To Change Default Font & Size?

The procedure to change the default font & font size given above does work. But I have taken a look at the advice given by Martin-K earlier on and must admit that his procedure is quicker, thus better.

Re: How To Change Default Font & Size?

Please note that I use the traditional Textmaker interface. So I refer to this interface when I try to explain a Textmaker operation. Not sure if the explanation will be clear to users of the new interface. It might. You can set or change the default font and font size (e.g. Arial 12) used by any pa...

Re: Two questions

I managed to change my Softmaker password so I also managed to log into the Softmaker Shop. The Softmaker Forum requires its own password. Unless I'm thinking of another password change I recently tried to make, a Softmaker Forum password change requires that you know the password you want to change...
