Please tell me the difference between Free Office and SoftMaker
Standard.
std is version 2021
Free is version 2018
_______________________________________________
I have decided to install the Free version on the new computer. It all
looks familiar, but I cannot remember how to defeat superscripting
once and for all.
Please let me know how to do this. (You might tell the publishers in
Germany that superscripting is not a normal way of writing in the US.
A short
perusal of US newspaper styles will show you that nothing is ever
superscripted, nor is it in books for general reading, rather than,
say, textbooks.)
Followup:
I had previously asked for assistance in suppressing superscripting in
FreeOffice 2018 Textmaker, and got no reply. Probably because free
softwarecomes with no assistance.
So after much searching and futzing around, I found out how to do it:
With a document open, go to Tools>Options>Edit. There are a bunch of
check-boxes, one says "Superscript ordinal numbers" --uncheck that box
and then click OK.
That seems to have done it for all documents. To be on the safe side,
you may save the opened document, but I don't think that's necessary. If
you find
any gotcha in this procedure--something I forgot or left out--please
write a line or two here and correct me.
Reminder: If you are going to use the document in another word
processor, or send it to someone who does not have Textmaker, save it in
Microsoft Word format!
