Good news indeed - upgrade purchased!

Whilst I realise that it is not my place to criticise SoftMaker on their business decisions, I would just like to say that I consider the lack of an upgrade path from standard version to standard version to be very disappointing.

Regardless of the difference in price involved, 'forcing' users who ...

Ok thanks. So basically there is no upgrade path from Office Standard 2021 to Office Standard 2024 - only Office Standard 2021 to Office Professional 2024.

I have been a VERY happy Office Standard 2021 user ever since I discovered SoftMaker Office, and today received an email notifying me of the release of Office 2024.

Since I don't need the extra NX functionality (ChatGTP, translations, etc.) I was intending on upgrading to Office Standard 2024 ...

When you open any file associated with SoftMaker Office, it will open in the most recently used SoftMaker Office version, this is a feature for user's convenience.

E.g. you opened TextMaker 2024 while other versions are installed, next time whenever you will open any DOCX (which is associated ...

The options in the setup program are about the non-SoftMaker file formats (docx etc.).


It is those formats which HAVE been hijacked (.doc, .docx etc.). As per the OP - ALL filetypes have been transferred to the Beta, not just the SoftMaker ones.

This happened to me too - despite not checking any of the 'file association' boxes via a Custom install - and there doesn't seem to be a way to easily reset them all to Office 2021 in one go.

Thank you

Currently TextMaker clears the "Search" results pane if the item searched for is then modified in the document text. This then requires a repeat of the search to refresh the results. It would be great if only the changed entry was removed (or - if that's not possible - the search repeated ...

I click on the down arrow and change the printer from FAX to my HP Printer, but when I click on OK, it just reverts to FAX.
I have had this too since the 1044 update. Sometimes it will allow me to select a printer but 9 times out of 10 the fax issue occurs. Hopefully it is something which can be ...

That only happens in my version of PlanMaker if I press the INSERT key (which toggles INSERT/OVERWRITE mode) before/while editing a cell. Maybe your INSERT key defaults to OVERWRITE?

Uninstalling and re-installing SoftMaker Office has fixed the issue - the "SoftMaker" folder is now created in "E:\Documents" automatically. Thank you for your help.

Ah - my bad - I didn't connect the terminology "unpinned items" with "recent files". Apologies.

Thank you - much appreciated - since I do not use the ribbon interface I could not find this option!

Is there any likelyhood that a "Delete all unpinned items" entry might be added to the standard "File" menu in the future to avoid having to change the interface in order to access it?
