Does this only happen in TextMaker? Are you sure that the space key on your keyboard is working properly?

I'm not quite sure what you're doing exactly. When I want to select text, I set the cursor at the beginning of the intended text block, press the mouse button, keep it pressed and draw the mouse to the end of the text block. When I click into the text and scroll, nothing happens, but that's normal b...

An idea that is not 100% safe, but relatively easy to handle: If you put a note in front of every (read-only) PDF which says: ‘This PDF was licensed for XY [name + email address + date]’, you don't prevent it from being passed on to individual friends, but you do create a fairly high psychological b...

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...

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...

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...

YMMD!

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...

Yes, the Book Layout View was introduced with TextMaker 2024 and is not available in TM 2021.

Yes, it does.

Well said.

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.

Well, my Apple keyboard has an alt as well as a ctrl key.

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...
