Scattered letters.

Post by Barth »

Hello,
This is what has been happening for about 2 months:

When I have a document open, and I open a new tab, when I go back to the previous document, I see that the letters are all out of their original place. It always happens.

It is put this way:

I don't know what could be happening.
I will appreciate comments. Greetings.

Thanks for posting your problem. This happens mostly when you don't have any printer installed.

Open the Print dialog in our applications and choose a working printer driver.

If you don't have any physical printer, please install any virtual PDF printer and then check this problem again after system restart.

Thank you very much for the reply! :)

I have installed a PDF printer, and it seems to solve the problem for now.

But on the other hand I think it this shouldn't happen even if I don't have a printer.

In any case, thank you for your solution. :thumbsup:

It's good to know that your problem is solved. :thumbsup:

For any powerful word processor application like TextMaker, printer is mandatory to set formatting etc.

Thank you for the comment

In my case TextMaker has worked perfectly even though the printer is mandatory, without formatting problems or anything.

The problem only appeared when having more than one tab open, so it seems strange that the obligation to have a printer only affects when you have more than one tab.

Are you sure you are running the current revision 1060 of SoftMaker Office?

Thanks for the information SoulRipper :thumbsup: , I already thought that it was something to fix, and not my printer problem.
Since I had another problem with TextMaker that I didn't get a solution for, I finally had to download another text app, which is the one I'm currently using. All the best.

Yes, I know this can be quite frustrating.
SoftMaker Office 2021 revision 1020 didn't have the issue either, so I was using it until now.
All the best :)

Thanks for understanding the frustration :) . It really was. That's why I switched to another app. Anyway, it's over, now everything is ok. Greetings.
