SoftMaker Textmaker is so much like word, I can use it immediately. No learning curve. Looks like Microsoft has one fewer customers.

After crying at Word I moved to TextMaker Free and used the same instructions and it worked immediately and intuitively. All my homies hate the increasingly awful Microsoft Suite.

#Office Alternative auch für #Android, #Softmaker bewährt seit Jahren (hier Textverarbeitung als Beispiel)

Die beste kommerzielle Textverarbeitung ist eben immer noch Textmaker... 😎👍

Writing toolset.
For those curious, I write with IA Writer (the markdown editor, not any sort of AI), Obsidian, Pandoc, Typst, and TextMaker 2024. All on MacOS.

The markdown stuff gives me a toolchain for writing to selfpublishing in multiple formats. Textmaker is for .docx wrangling.

My partner introduced me to TextMaker by the German company SoftMaker, and so far I’m loving it. It’s neat, it’s clean, it doesn’t confound me with its interface.

Or maybe I’m just better disposed to it because it’s European and explicitly rejects MS’ intrusive fingers behavior.

Habe kein Word, mein freeware TextMaker akzeptiert keine PDFs.

Hier ging es heute Rund für tag 27 des #pokétober mit Kopplosio und ganz ganz ganz vielen Kreisen @.@
Für die Ultrabesten wollte ich das ganze mal etwas aufmischen, so wie es immer hieß das Ultrabestien keine Pokemon sind, sind Textmaker keine Zeichenmaterialien ;D

Seit einem Update ist bei aktiviertem Dark Mode die Arbeitsfläche in meinem TextMaker 2024 schwarz. Wie kann ich manche Dokumente mit weißem Hintergrund sehen?

Ich benutze dafür TextMaker.

2 - tools for writing
Uh, I use textmaker (a word variant) and that's it!

3 - How long writing
That's a bit a definition thing... seriously with intent to keep going for 14 years, on and off since I was like 13, so 24 years?

4 - First fic I wrote and published
Okay, that's also semantics lol

Bin für das #Weltraumprojekt ja vor ner Weile doch in ein 'normales' Textprogramm gewechselt, weil so nett-retro WordStar auch war, langsam wurde es unübersichtlich.

After just a few days using Textmaker, I can pretty firmly say I approve. It's like using Word back before Word became so shitty and hand-holding.

Obsidian for drafting (similar to early Scrivener using plugins); still oscillating between Libre Office or Textmaker for final polish since switching to Linux last year.

Oh. FreeOffice TextMaker is good too.

SoftMaker Office 2026 ist in der öffentlichen Beta. Für Linux gibts echte Fortschritte: nativer Dateidialog auch ohne GNOME, dynamische Arrays in PlanMaker, Markdown in TextMaker. Was weiterhin fehlt: die automatische Dark-Mode-Erkennung, trotz freedesktop.org-Standard seit 2021.

Den ganzen […]

TextMaker von SoftMaker ist eine M$-Office-Alternative, die für gute Typografie aber leider kaum geeignet ist, da man keine Medieväl-Ziffern setzen kann. Da ist ja sogar Pages besser. #office

What is Textmaker exactly? My search pulled up about a dozen different things.

Or use the one baked in to my editing environment (Textmaker or Scrivener).

OTOMH Word, TextMaker, Scrivener, LibreOffice & Microsoft's rich text component all create em-dashes automatically.
So, is it just me or does it feel like any writing that uses a few bullet points, a few rhetorical opposites, and a sprinkle of em-dashes is getting dismissed by people on social media as "probably LLM writing"?

And how did the myth that em-dashes were hard to create start?

I've had good results with TextMaker (part of the SoftMaker suite). One-time purchase, no subscription, and I've been able to open Word docs with minimal issues. I can also save the files as Word docs to share with others.
