(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@ Olaf:-

Nah, that's fair comment. Like I said, for many folks who just want to compose & print off the occasional letter, Textmaker's fine. You, on the other hand, appear to have a slightly more serious & "specialised" use for it, and if doesn't do what you want, well.....

The templates feature may be one of those missing from the full, 'paid-for' SoftMaker Office. I don't design the features it comes with, mate.....I just package 'em. And this is part of the reason we like to ensure there is such a diverse selection of apps/progs/software of all kinds available for Puppy.....'cos that way, there's bound to be summat to suit most people.

FreeOffice: In SoftMaker FreeOffice, .odt files can only be opened. Saving files in this format is not supported.

Not sure where that comes from. But it's wrong. See attached.

Middle of page 423 in the .pdf User manual that you find under Help.

But, I am really happy if it is not correct!

Mm. Well, if you attempt to save as .odt, using the application at defaults - as it comes, OOTB - then no; you don't get the option. But if you go into Tools → Options → 'Files' tab, and set your default file-type preference as .odt before you start working, you can then save in that format.

I've just done the same as t'other Mike, so it's certainly possible....
