_GoBack bookmark

Post by xenol1th »

Hello,

It wasn't working correctly so I deleted if and now I don't know how to get it back.

Anyone know how to get the _GoBack bookmark to work again? (I tried but it has to start with a letter.)

Thanks!

Hi, you could reset your TextMaker settings by closing TextMaker and then going to Windows Explorer and renaming the file Documents\SoftMaker\Settings\tmw18config.ini to tmw18config.bak.

_GoBack is an internal bookmark that you don't set manually. It is created automatically when "Return to the last editing position when a document has been opened" in Files | Options | Files is activated and the document is saved.

Hey miguel-c,

I did what you asked but I only saw ‘tmwfo18config’. I changed the name of that to .bak but it did not restore the _GoBack bookmark.

Am I mistaken to assume that that bookback feature returns the READER back to their previous position? Martin-k’s comment makes it seem like this is more of an EDITTING tool.

Yes: that feature returns the READER back to their previous position.

PS: if you wish you may make a backup copy of your Documents\SoftMaker\Settings\ folder and then delete it in order to reset your SoftMaker Office to its default settings.

Thanks for your reply.

If I start a new document, that _GoBack bookmark returns.

Still wondering if there is a way to re-insert it into a document after it has been deleted.

I'm going to ask a colleague of mine. In the meanwhile, you may create a new document and copy the content from the other file into the new one :)

I tried that. All 40+ pages of content that I then had to reformat to get the spacing 100% like it was. Not to mention, the bookmarks were also copied and the "_GoBack" one missing.

You don't create the _GoBack bookmark by hand. It is created automatically at the current cursor position when you save a document and have the option "Return to the last editing position when a document has been opened" in the Options dialog, Files tab active.

I just activated this, made an edit and saved the document. I closed it and reopened it and still no _GoBack.

We support that only in DOCX and TMDX formats. Which format did you use?

Currently using .doc mode because .docx seemed to not be saving correctly. I converted my .doc to .docx and attempted it again. Still no _GoBack.

Oh well.

Hi, I was able to reproduce the issue where I don't see the _GoBack bookmark in newly created documents.
I'm going to report this to the developers and I'll let you know when we sort this out.
Thank you!
