Re: DeepSeek integration

But recently, Microsoft started to give Ad version of Word Excel PowerPoint with simple Copilot features for free. They now make money out of Ads inside Word Excel PowerPoint. Nice try, but hardly a good comparison. https://www.pcguide.com/news/you-can-now-get-a-free-version-of-microsoft-office-but...

Re: Fonts = Personal vs. Commercial Use?

Just to add to the confusion, suppose someone has Windows Professional but they bought Office Home & Student? Or they have Windows Home, but they bought Office Professional? This could mean that they can use some of their Microsoft fonts for commercial purposes, but not all of them. It strikes m...

Question on breaks

Can someone explain the difference between a section break and a chapter break? Having moved from Microsoft Word to SoftMaker Office, I haven't fully adapted to differences in terminology and differences in the way things work. In Word, I can enter a column break, a page break, or any of four types ...

Re: Indented lines suddenly appearing

The screen shot illustrates the problem, but without making the file available to us we can't possibly try to figure out what's causing the problem.

Re: Inconsistency when creating a new document (between Word, TextMaker and Writer)

What LibreOffice calls a "section" is not what Microsoft Word and SoftMaker TextMaker call a section. A "section" in LibreOffice Writer is more like a text box in Word and in TextMaker.

Re: A fifth product, datamaker

@Woody44 try SQLite expert if you do not like access or base. I personally like mathesar and similar spreadsheet like apps. I know creating a new app would be costly for softmaker , but a data based app would complement their product line. I didn't say I don't like Access. The only thing I don't li...

Re: classic menus vs ribbon

Thanks. It would be a suggestion I would offer to satisfy luddites such as myself who haven't fallen into the ribbon. I'll get used to the minimized ribbon I expect. It's not a disaster. I think I have made this suggestion before. I keep FlexiPDF 2017 on my computer alongside FlexiPDF 2022 specific...

Re: A fifth product, datamaker

I have on several occasions made multiple suggestions that, in order to really compete against Microsoft Office and LibreOffice/OpenOffice, SoftMaker Office needs to have a genuine relational database, not just a gloried address book function tucked away inside TextMaker. And it is my understanding ...

Re: Fonts = Personal vs. Commercial Use?

Greetings, Thank you for putting together these packages of affordable fonts for commercial use. I've already invested in some of them so I could do some public graphics (e.g. birthday greetings, etc.) without worrying about lawsuits since I was warned I could be sued by Microsoft if I used their f...

Re: Activation question

I believe the licensing agreement for FreeOffice says it is free for ONE user, and that one user can install the software on up to three computers/devices. That one individual is allowed to use his/her copy of FreeOffice for commercial purposes, but FreeOffice is not intended for corporate-wide depl...

Re: Top align not available

The documentation describes the ribbon user interface, but you use menus and toolbars. You can customize the toolbars to add vertical alignment, or you can switch over to the ribbon UI. Thank you for this. I still use "classic" menus, and I had not realized that I can customize them. This...

Re: Top align not available

Right click the selected cell or cells. From the pop-up menu choose "Cells" Then choose the "Alignment" tab, and you can set both vertical and horizontal alignment.
