I have always found, whenever formatting paragraph Text-flow within a table , that, although the hyphenation setting does work, the Paragraph control settings, ' Keep with next ' and ' Keep together ' do not .

Could SoftMaker not implement macros for us? They’re incuded in LibreOffice, and that’s free, but I’ve always been a SMO supporter and I’d prefer to stay with SMO.

In a PlanMaker spreadsheet on my Mac, I'd like to automate a goal-seek action within a cell.

I understand that,

SoftMaker Office doesn't support macros,
SoftMaker Office on the Mac excludes BasicMaker,
PlanMaker won't run scripts.

So how can I do it please, anyone?

I'm struggling away with this because I'm trying to work on a current document, and I just discovered something that might be important: When TM becomes massively unresponsive, I can cure it immediately by just slightly re-sizing the TM window.

Immediately after submitting my first posting on this, when I returned to TM, the ultra-unresponsiveness had returned. I tried opening other documents. All were the same. I forgot to mention earlier that I had rebooted the Mac to see if that fixed it. It hadn't done. Now, I saved my document and ...

I too did suddenly encounter massively unresponsive behaviour from TextMaker, today.
Whilst editing a 2000 word document, which was just text, with minimal formatting ...

Thanks Jodi. I too have not found anything that fails to work on MacOS/Parallels. Maybe I’ll try reinstalling.

In my writing, I often need to quote part of something another person has written or said. This can very often be just a short phrase of part of a sentence, which I indicate by means of an ellipsis to signify preceding and/or following words that are omitted.
