Gentlemen:I just upgraded from Office 2021 to Office 2024 and hoped that the PM cell replication issue brought to your attention last year had fixed itself. It did not, but after further investigation I have concluded that, contrary to what was previously determined, this problem is not purely a Chr...

Lots of time and work but glad you got it all sorted out!

It looks like no response from a board moderator yet. There may be something about the Xerox driver that SoftMaker just doesn't like. Maybe it doesn't like the PPD file. Some other things to try: Try reinstalling the Xerox driver, making sure that if you have a choice of ports, choose Internet Print...

I'm out of ideas, but if you haven't already done so, open a browser and navigate to localhost:631/admin then click the Manage Jobs button to see if you can determine what became of the print jobs you already sent. If you print something again while keeping the browser window open, perhaps there wil...

Here's another situation to consider. You might have a paper mismatch. How a specific printer manufacturer would handle this may differ. So, check in print properties whether your page settings are Letter or A4. If you are using letter 8 1/2 x 11" paper in your printer, then the print setting s...

When, in TM you click the [print] icon, is your printer name listed [CUPS] after it? In the Properties dialog box, do you have selected PDF or Postscript?

You might try toggling from one to the other to see what happens.

I just downloaded the .deb file from SoftMaker once I received the link and license key in my email, then installed using:

sudo dpkg -i {the .deb file you downloaded}

Even though SoftMaker Office 2021 is not officially supported running under Crostini (Linux container in ChromeOS), I have found that the applications work well (with one workaround in PlanMaker that I posted about.) This post is about finding out that GDrive integration is working surprisingly well...

I'm not an expert, but do you have CUPS installed? If not, I would think that this would be a first step. I found these articles: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-cups https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/general/documentation/how-to-s/657841-how-to-setup-printers-cups-on-kubuntu or using SNAP:...

A case of RTFM. At present, it appears as though the only workaround to be able to replicate a cell with a formula and have the forumula relative to the new cell location is to use drag and drop, as described on page 74 of the PlanMaker 2021 manual. However, I found that, if selecting not just one c...

The above workaround no longer works, so I am back to square one.

OK, now it gets interesting. I went back into PM to try something else. Instead of using the mouse to right-click copy and then right-click paste, I used the Cut and Copy buttons on the toobar under Home. Low and behold, this time the formulas were copied. Furthermore, when I tried Paste Special thi...

I just read about a ChromeOS function called "Clipboard HIstory" By pressing the "Search" and "V" keys, a window pops up in ChromeOS with thumbnails of all recent items copied to clipboard. Sure enough, the operations that I did from within PM to copy a cell or cell ran...

Martin, I think that you are on to something with your 2nd idea. I am doing the copy from within PlanMaker, not external. However, in the abbreviated Paste Special dialog box, the word "External" appears underneath "source" for some reason. I have SoftMaker Office installed on tw...

I am having an issue getting a cell formula to be copied as a formula. Instead, when I copy / paste I get the value of the origin cell. Example, where below the first column is A and the second is B: The cell in the first column 3rd row (A3) has a formula of +A1+A2, which correctly displays the resu...
