Wrapping of text beside a frame

The attached docx file was created in Word and used to create the PDF file, by a third party. When I open the document in Textmaker Professional 2024 (rev S1218.0824) 64bit, the text beside the frames appears at twice the expected distance from the left margin. If "text wrapping" is change...

Positioning of Search/Replace window

All too often when I conduct a search, the resulting cell is hidden behind the Search/Replace window, so I have to move or remove the Search/Replace window to see if I have found the instance that I require. Is there any way that this can be improved?

Table not displayed in correct place in docx file from Word/Libre Office

In the attached document, the table containing the customer information displays to the right of the page in TextMaker, instead of close to the left margin.

Quirk entering dates when year not specified

In previous versions of PlanMaker, when entering dates for the current year into preformatted cells (the formats I checked were yyyy/mm/dd and dd/mm/yyyy) it was only necessary to enter the dd/mm part (or dd-mm), the year defaulting to the current one. For the most part, this still applies in PlanMa...

Re: Opening DBF file - deleted records included, field formats ignored

What you say is true, but misses the point. There is no indication in PlanMaker that they are deleted records.

If the file is opened in Libre Office or Excel then the deleted records are excluded.

Opening DBF file - deleted records included, field formats ignored

When a DBF file is opened, deleted records are loaded as if they are ordinary records, which should not happen.

It would also be helpful if the field formats stored in the DBF file were taken more into consideration, so that integers are loaded as integers.

Graphic appearing on top of text

When I open the attached file in Word 2019, the graphic "BCL" appears at the top of the page, with "Bottisham Community Library Association" below it. In TextMaker 2024 for Windows, the graphic is displayed on top of (and partly obscuring) the text. On checking the Picture Proper...

Value left behind when undoing the move of a block of cells

In sheet 'Assets and RFs', I selected cells F4:F17, clicked on this and held down the mouse button, then moved the cells one column to the left; the numbers no longer displayed properly, because the column was too narrow. Not wishing to upset the layout of the tables further down the page, I pressed...

On-line help for functions

1. The on-line help contents has a heading 'Functions from A to Z', but the functions do not appear in alphabetical order (not in the English version, as least). 2. When one searches for a particular keyword in the help, occurrences of the word are highlighted by a yellow background, which does not ...

Naming of Worksheets (display of existing worksheet name)

I can find no rules regarding the naming of worksheets. However, if I have a worksheet named 'A&B' and double-click on that name to edit it, then the Old Name is displayed as 'AB', although'&' displays properly in the New Name field.

Bloated PDF files

PDF files produced by TextMaker (I've not checked PlanMaker) continue to have excess baggage. Using the docx file attached, TextMaker produced the PDF with name ending 'S', over 200k larger than that produced by Libre Office (ending 'L')

Save As for 7KB ods file becomes 2,310KB pmdx or xlsx file

I wished to convert the attached ods file to xlsx. When I did Save As I got a message about invalid sheet names (SaveAs.jpg), which appeared to have no foundation in fact; I selected Yes. The resulting file looks OK but has size 2,310KB. When saving as pmdx, there was no message about sheet names bu...

Problem importing text file with fixed field widths

1. I could not import the attached file, as it is, as one with fixed field widths, because the import facililty decided that the second field began in the last column - so the most significant digits for numbers more than 9 got appended to the first field! 2. Rather than just fixing this problem, it...

Delimited text file - error when embedded tabs are not delimiters

I'm using "!" as my delimiter in a text file; some of my fields have embedded tab characters. During the import process, when I specify my delimiter the preview is correct but, upon import, the delimiter following a tab is ignored.
