You will find information about installing the software in the e-mail that you automatically received after purchasing it.

Starting the programs

In most Linux distributions, the installation program automatically creates shortcut icons for all SoftMaker Office applications in the menu. To start any of the applications, click on the corresponding icon.

Alternatively, the following scripts are available for starting the programs:

▪textmaker24 starts TextMaker.

▪planmaker24 starts PlanMaker.

▪presentations24 starts Presentations.

You can execute these scripts in a shell, for example.

Entering address upon initial start: When you start PlanMaker for the first time, you will be asked to enter your name, address, etc. This information is not used for registering the program. In fact, it allows you to insert your name, address, etc., in documents or document templates using the USERFIELD function. You can always change this information at a later stage (see Settings, General tab).
