Character Styles lost after closing files (ODT)

Post by jolugaju »

Hello!

After having lots of problems with Character styles I'm making the final test ...

I start a new doc.
I write several lines.
I set several Character styles for different words.
I save the file in ODT format.
I close the file.
I open the file again.

ALL the Character styles are lost. First, everything seems to be right because all colors, attributes are perfect but if I change a style, none of the words that had that style change a bit ... because all the Character Styles are lost. All text are set to "Normal" style.
ALL the Shortcuts of these styles are also lost.

This doesn't happen with the Paragraph styles because when I use them, after I open again the file, those styles are still there as they must.

I'm beginning to be very disappointed with this program. It's a pity because it has lost of good things.

One last thing ... this happens with ODT files. If I use the native format TMDX, Character styles work fine.

Greetings!

We tested it here with TextMaker 2018 rev.933.0620 64bit and could not reproduce that issue here. All character styles were properly saved in odt file format and we could use all styles after re-opening the file.

Have you used another revision of TextMaker?

Hi!

I have tested on 2 computers with these configurations:
- Windows 7 x32 - Text Maker 2018 32bit - Rev 933.0620
- Windows 7 x64 - Text Maker 2018 64bit - Rev 933.0620

Both have the same problem.

Please send a sample file (in both, tmdx and odt file format) to forum(at)softmaker.com referring to this thread.
