Printing landscape pages two per (portrait) page

When I print the attached file on my HP LaserJet color 200 M251n, at two pages per page, less than half of each even numbered page is printed, although there is plenty of space left on the page. The top and bottom margins are currently set to 1cm and the second page of the document only appears as f...

PDF file size after OCR

I have a 16-page magazine PDF which was OCR'd a long time ago, and not very well; the size of the file is 1,592kB. When I re-OCR it with FlexiPDF 2025, the quality of the OCR is excellent but the resulting file is 25,783kB! I can reduce the size of the output file only at the cost of reduced quality...

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.

(TextMaker 2024 S1204.0902, Libre Office Writer 7.3.4.2)

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')
