Re: Odd/Even page headers and footers

In TextMaker, this is a piece of cake. Choose "Different left and right pages“ in Format > Chapter, then go to Insert > Header, and you will find all you need in the "Header and Footer" bar at the bottom of the page: Bildschirmfoto 2025-06-30 um 12.41.38.png NB: This is only the quick...

Re: Feature Request: New Paste Special

Even if this feature is missing, there is no need to change each quote mark separately. An opening quote mark is usually always preceded by a space or a praragraph mark. So you can use the replace function in TextMaker instead: 1st pass: replace Space" with Space“ 2nd pass: replace Paragraph ma...

Re: Joining PDFs created with a non-duplex ADF with odd and even numbered pages alternatingly

While this function is not yet included in FlexiPDF, I use a workaround: the scanner output should not be two large files, but rather one file for each page. I then use a file renaming tool to add initial numbering to the file names. For the odd files, I start with 01 and add two for the following f...

Re: How to remove a page?

Where is the page you want to remove? If it is an empty page at the end of the document (as in the original post), it may be sufficient to set the cursor at the end of the document and press the delete backwards key. If he page sits somewhere in the middle of the document, it is not so easy. Whereas...

Re: File Format

The .bak files are automatic backup files. Go to Tools > Options..., tab "Backup", and uncheck "Keep older versions of the document" to stop saving them.

Re: Paste as image

As a PlanMaker table is not an image, it cannot simply be copied and pasted as an image. You will need a printer driver which is able to write the print output into an image file. This image file can then be inserted in a TextMaker document.

Re: Question on breaks

The main function of section breaks is the option to change the number of columns without starting a new chapter. So you can format part of the text with a different number of columns while all chapter options stay the same. A section break can be combined with a page break but this is not necessary...

Re: Indented lines suddenly appearing

Just an idea: Could it be that an invisible empty text box sitting on the page pushes the lines to the right? In any case, it would be helpful if we could get an extract of the original document showing the issue.

Re: Concat numbers and strings in a cell

You are right. There is a bug in TextMaker. In the attached sample document, in the first line I define a variable named ID: ID="0025". By adding quotation marks, i have marked the value 0025 as a text string, not a number. But if I call this variable again in another calculation, the text...

I cannot quite follow you. Could you give us a sample document (with dummy values)?
