Object properties lost when SAVEd and reOPENed

Post by JohnWasilewski »

TextMaker Professional 2021 (rev S1016.0624) 64bit

WHen I arrange objects on the screen, with shadows, and font settings, then save and re-open, the settings are lost.
See example attached.

It's a bit tedious I'm afraid but what you need to do is this:

1) Go to page 2 with the diagram.

2) Ungroup all images and text boxes

3) REPEAT 5 times, once for each of the blue text boxes, A, B, C, D, E:
Select the blue text.
Press Ctrl-A
Set font size to 10 point
Format -> Drop caps -> 3rd pattern, size 16
Click the cursor just after the initial label letter (A or B or C etc)
Press [Delete] once
Format paragraph -> Line spacing -> 0.9

4) REPEAT 3 times, once for each of the three large sub-panel outlines:
Select the outline by left-clicking one of the edges
Right-click -> Picture properties -> Shadow -> Variants -> Double shadows -> First one, Blur 33 pt

5) Graphic-select the entire page -> group

6) SAVE

7) Close file

8) Re-open the same document, look at page 3.
Everything you have just done will have been lost.
