Presently. Textmaker doesn't yet have an "autofit" feature for freeoffice and softmaker office nx, softmaker office in table tab. This feature should complement phones and computers. In Word, this feature contains very nice options:
+AutoFit to Contents: Automatically Stretches the width of the columns, row to fit snugly into the text inside the cell Instead of having to select and adjust the length width through the Table tab. Just click on it and it will automatically adjust. , Very quickly
+AutoFit to Window: spread the board evenly across the entire page frame (from the left margin to the right margin).
+Fixed Column Width: Lock and fix the width of the column to the current size, the long text will automatically go down the line in the cell.
These features are very important for users. Helps save time instead of doing it manually. Hope to consider and add to freeoffice, Softmaker office nx, softmaker office . For both phones and computers
Thank you
I am a Vietnamese user and Have made feature suggestions to help the software be more complete. And I also hope that the features I recommend and the Autofit feature will be in the software

Re: I have feature Recommendations for Freeoffice, softmaker office nx and softmaker office
Which program in Office are you suggesting this feature for? TextMaker, PlanMaker, or Presentations?

The ‘AutoFit’ feature is now available in Word and LibreOffice. I think Textmaker should add this feature. The lack of this feature has led to a great deal of wasted time.
I also agree with this suggestion. I’ve noticed that many people use the Auto fit feature in Word on YouTube . If this feature were added to the Table tab, it would certainly be a major plus for Textmaker.

But hang on: if the Table tab doesn’t have space for this feature, should we perhaps include it in the vertical context menu that appears when you right-click? I think that makes much more sense.

I’m sorry, everyone. The ‘Auto Fit’ feature is not only available in Textmaker but also in Planmaker and Presentation (FreeOffice, Softmaker Office NX, Softmaker Office) across all operating systems. It is available on Android and IOS
That is what I propose
Thank you

However. Planmaker also has an Auto Fit feature, but it works differently: Hold down the divider line, and a menu appears. This method is quite cumbersome.
Therefore: I think this feature should be located on the Home tab. Right in the first position. It provides a drop-down menu
As for Text and Presentation, they’ll be on the Table tab. These are also Auto Fit features with the familiar drop-down menu.

Hi there, I sent this at SoftMaker's FB page, it's about 2024 version, but, do you know if this time-wasting annoyance was fixed in 2026 version?Formula Use wrote: Thu Aug 20, 2026 12:59 am The ‘AutoFit’ feature is now available in Word and LibreOffice.

Or if there's a way to get rid of 'continuous' absurd default in 2024 version?
Subject: Why does TextMaker break its own value proposition when opening foreign .docx files?
Dear SoftMaker Team,
I recently migrated to SoftMaker Office because your core marketing promise is clear: you offer a professional, high-fidelity alternative to Microsoft Word that respects user focus and workflow continuity.
However, I have run into a fascinating design logic flaw in the latest version of TextMaker that completely undercuts this promise.
When a user opens a third-party .docx file (from a download, cloud drive, or external script), TextMaker completely ignores the user’s global default template environment (Normal.tmvx) and defaults to forcing a Continuous view layout.
Let's look at this through a simple Socratic lens:
1. What is the primary target audience of an alternative office suite? Users who want a reliable, focused, and seamless document editing experience mimicking professional paper standards (Standard View).
2. What percentage of professional writers, lawyers, or corporate operators choose to edit their daily business files in "Continuous stream text" view? Effectively zero.
3. If the software encounters a document missing explicit Microsoft view metadata, why does the engine fallback to an absolute edge-case layout (Continuous view) rather than respecting the global default view (Standard View) chosen by the user in their active template?
By forcing the engine to assume the user wants Continuous view on every single unknown document, you are introducing a repetitive micro-frustration. The user has to manually toggle the View menu back to Standard style for every file in their folder structure, completely breaking workflow efficiency.
The Simple Fix:
In your codebase's file import module, look at your fallback handler for files lacking explicit view metadata tags. Simply change the default fallback hook variable from VIEW_CONTINUOUS to look at the active template configuration path (VIEW_STANDARD / Normal.tmvx).
Alternatively, please restore the "Default view mode for opening files" option within the Options menu configuration so the user has the autonomy to declare their preference globally.
I would love to understand the engineering logic behind keeping Continuous view as a hardcoded fallback, and if your team can push this incredibly simple change into an upcoming Service Pack update to fix this major usability hurdle.
Best regards,
Alex
