TextMaker normally saves documents in its "in-house" file format called TextMaker document. TextMaker documents can be recognized easily by the name extension .tmdx. If, for example, you save a document under the name "Letter", its complete file name will be Letter.tmdx.
You can also instruct TextMaker to save files in another file format. This is necessary, for example, if you want to edit a TextMaker document with another program. You can also open documents in TextMaker, which have been created with other word processing programs.
In this chapter, you will learn everything you need to know about working with other file formats. It is divided into the following sections:
▪Saving and opening files in other file formats
| The first section explains how to save or open documents in a different file format: Simply choose the ribbon command File | Save as or File | Open and select the desired format from the dropdown list of file types. |
| When you open or save a text file, its character set is usually determined automatically. If desired, you can also specify the character set manually. You will learn how to do so in this section. |
