Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to copy and paste formats in TextMaker, just like it is is possible to do in Word. I can't find a way to do this in either the Mac version or the ipad version.
Second question: is it possible to insert/add text the grayed out text boxes in TextMaker so I can create documents that others know where to write information?
Thanks for your help!
Can you copy formats and create grayed out text boxes?
Re: Can you copy formats and create grayed out text boxes?
A quick and easy way to transfer a format is by using the Format painter on the Home ribbon (in iOS: Home ribbon > Edit > Format painter; in classic menu: Format > Transfer formatting).Enunrul48 wrote: Tue Mar 24, 2026 2:27 pm Hi, I wanted to know if it is possible to copy and paste formats in TextMaker, just like it is is possible to do in Word.

If your document is more complex, you can manage character and paragraph styles via the right sidebar and select any of them with a double click.
For such a task you should use form fields: Objects > Form object > Text field on the Insert ribbon (in classic menu: Object > New form object > Text field).Enunrul48 wrote: Tue Mar 24, 2026 2:27 pmSecond question: is it possible to insert/add text the grayed out text boxes in TextMaker so I can create documents that others know where to write information?
If you select Form mode on the View ribbon (in classic menu: View > Form mode) and save the document this way, others can only write in the predefined text fields.
