Thanks for the hard work and the progress report!

Dear ST et al,

Just a short note to say thanks for both the bug-fix and the status update.

Kind regards,
Richard Kanarek

Greetings, When TM2024 Pro got advanced auto-correction abilities, I was thrilled. Heaven knows my writing can use all the correcting it can get. When I discovered that TM’s enhanced auto-corrector tended to introduce more errors than it corrected and was then obstinate about keeping its failed “cor...

I probably would still be using Windows XP were I in a position to do so. It would certainly be better than any version of Window post 7. Sadly, my XP computer used a Pentium D CPU, which, as I understand it, was Intel's attempt to make a combination CPU and home furnace. The geniuses who created th...

Dear Super, Thanks for the reply. I attached a template file instead of the document file because I thought that it was all that would be needed. Also, the actual document is quite large, tedious, and constrained by copyrights. Sorry for any inconvenience. I used the template to create a demonstrati...

Dear Neno, Just to make you feel worse, about a year or two (or three?) ago I was compelled to switch from using Win 7 exclusively to also using Win 10. So far as I know, I have never had the problem you described. I don't know if it matters, but I am using the purchased, non-subscription version. G...

Greetings, As shown on the attached screen capture, you will note that the "Document Map" shows the heading "2.5.a.1. Quiz 15" as "2.5.a.1 Quiz 1". Note that there is no obvious reason (at least to me) why the heading should be truncated, and I confess it worried me whe...

Hello, it's me, your OP, again. Upon reflection, I believe that TM is handling heading numeric-bullets and ordinary paragraph numeric-bullets identically, even though this is not something anyone would ordinarily want. It's almost inconceivable that someone would have identical heading levels follow...

Greetings, It seems to me that there is a problem with how TextMaker 2024 (TextMaker Professional 2024 (rev S1218.0824) 64bit) is handling numbered bullets in Heading paragraph styles. I have set both “Heading 1” and “Heading 2” to include Bullet –> Numbering. This is what I get: [attachment=1]Subj ...

Dear ST, Thanks for the reply! When I inserted the picture from a file, I used the Object → New Picture command, which I accessed from the classic menu system (no buttons were involved). When I right-click on the picture (see the attached screen capture), I am given the opportunity to “Convert (it) ...

Dear SuperTech, Thanks for your quick reply. While no one can question your super'ness, I must confess that I find your advice less super. Admittedly, my primary problem with it is that it would require me to add things to my todo list, which is already overflowing. I'm also not sure that I would be...

Greetings, If I move the mouse pointer over the page zoom part of TextMaker’s status bar, I will likely zoom the page even though I am not pushing any of my pointer’s buttons. If Windows’ task bar appears (I have it set to auto-hide), and I click on something that happens to be over one of TextMaker...

Dear JezShed,

Just a short note to say the following:
a. I agree with your assessment on SMO vs. MS.
b. I found your post very interesting; thanks!
c. Thanks for having problems fixed before I encounter them!

Let's hope you have many more issues!

Greetings, Problem: A picture inserted into a TextMaker document via the “New Picture” command (which loads a picture file into a document) results in the picture being inserted in accordance with my “Default” settings. A picture inserted into a document via “Paste Special” → “DIB picture” is insert...

Greetings, As I know more than most, life isn't fair. For a relevant example, consider Microsoft. They make a bloated crappy office suite that lacks any documentation, yet they seem to have met with a "certain" amount of market success. SoftMaker makes (or made) a properly documented, far ...
