Re: Save my own template

Open the character formatting dialogue. (I use the Classic menu, so I can't tell you where that is on the ribbon.)

Change the font and size to Palatino and 16-point.

At the bottom, click the button for "Set as Default."

This will open another pop-up, that asks if you want to make it the default ...

Re: Windows font manager?

I have posted previously that the font manager needs a user manual. It is NOT "pretty self-explanatory." In fact, it is not at all self-explanatory. I bought the Megafont NOW collection several years ago so I have the font manager and I have tried to use it. How it works and what it does is ...

Re: Windows font manager?

With respect raittis.veksejs, your reply did not answer my question.
To repeat my question:

I noticed that SoftMaker Office Universal says it includes a font manager for Windows fonts. Where can I find more information on this font manager and how it works? Is it the same font manager that's ...

Windows font manager?

I just received the "Black Week" e-mail. I noticed that SoftMaker Office Universal says it includes a font manager for Windows fonts. Where can I find more information on this font manager and how it works? Is it the same font manager that's included with the MegaFONT Now collection? I have that, I ...

Re: Training Courses?

I am not aware of ant training courses. There also isn't much to be found on YouTube, which surprised me. I have thought about doing some YouTube tutorials for TextMaker.

That said, the basic work so similarly to Microsoft Word that I haven't found much difficulty at all. However, I should not that ...

Re: TextMaker not retaining Word Formatting

File attached.

The steps are easy:

1. Open file in TextMaker
2. Save file (with NO changes)
3. Open file in Word -- header has disappeared.

I know how to create different headers and footers in Textmaker. That's not the issue. The issue is that most of my clients use Microsoft Word. It is not ...

Supported cloud services

Poking around in the settings for Textmaker on my Samsung tablet, it tells me that I can set up TextMaker to work with Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, NextCloud, and Yandex as cloud services. My problem is that I don't use those cloud services. I use pCloud, IceDrive, and Proton Drive.

Can ...

Re: Ashampoo Office 8 on sale for 9GBP for 5 machine license

Oh, my goodness. WordStar!

Greetings, fellow old-timer. My first piece of software when I bought my very first personal computer (after MS-DOS, of course) was WordStar. I hadn't thought about WordStar for a great many years ... until I saw your comment.

TextMaker not retaining Word Formatting

As a consulting editor, I have to work with files created in Word (mostly), LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and occasionally WPS Office and Google Docs. I try to insist that everything gets submitted in the Microsoft .docx file format, since that is -- by a large margin -- the most prevalent file format ...

Re: TextMaker, background color in selected text


You can change the background color of selected text by using “Highlight text” and “Paragraph shading” features.


No. You are missing the point. Neither of these features changes just the on-screen appearance of text selected for some sort of edit. This is what text looks like on my screen if I ...
