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.

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...

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.

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)?

Why don't you simply write „Total: “ into the cell and then add the calculation? And in which context do you need 05022513 as part of a calculation?

Of course it can also be done with AutoShapes. A bit more manual adjustment will be necessary. Proceed als follows: 1. Type all the entries (each one in a new paragraph). 2. Change to Object mode (View > Object mode). 3. Go to Object > New drawing > Rounded rectangle. 4. Draw a rectangle with the ap...

I recommend using form objects to achieve this. Go to Object > New form object > Checkbox..., insert a checkbox and choose yellow as background colour via Format > Character. Then you can copy and paste it as often as you want. As the checkbox is treated by the program like a letter, there are no pr...

In TextMaker, existing documents are opened with the zoom level they were saved with. If you want all your new documents to have a 100% zoom level, open the template Normal.tmvx, set the zoom level to 100% and save the template again.

Edit mode is the usual working mode you are in when you create a new document and write text. Object mode is a special mode to handle objects like images, text boxes, auto shapes and so on. To activate Object mode, go to View > Object mode. You will find more about it in the TextMaker help or in the...

I presume that you were in Edit mode when you pasted the image. In this case, the image is inserted as an embedded object, which means that it is treated as part of the text (a kind of oversized letter, so to speak). If you choose Object mode before pasting, the image will be inserted as a picture f...

For some unknown reason, the "Insert character" command is missing from the classic menu. I use the "Insert character" icon in the standard toolbar for this (a square with three horizontal dots - I can‘t remember if it has been there all the time or if I put it there via Tools > ...

Object > New text frame.
Type the text inside the frame.
Right-click the border of the frame and choose "Properties..." in the context menu.
Select tab "Inner text".
In "Rotate by..." select 90°.

Hope that helps.

NB: To avoid unwanted page breaks, make sure that "Page break" in the Section > Columns dialog is unchecked and "Height" is set to "Auto" or "Fixed height". If "Page height" is selected, there will always be a page break because each section consists...

When the Text tool is selected, I can drag the cursor over a portion of text to select it and then press Ctrl+C just like in any other application. If this doesn’t work for you, you might try to select "Placeholders" first (in ribbon "View", section "View").
