Document management

TextMaker has functions that make it easier for you to manage and access your documents faster:

Quick paths

You can create quick paths in TextMaker in order to quickly switch to frequently used folders when opening or saving files.

Document summary

Every document can have some additional info that you can display and edit using the Summary tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Properties. You can enter the title, subject and author of the document, specify keywords for the file manager's search function and write a brief summary of the content.

File manager

FreeOffice: The File manager is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

You can use the integrated file manager to easily access your documents. It allows you to see the names and the document infos on the Summary tab for all documents at a glance. You can view, open, print or delete documents at the touch of a button.
The Search function of the file manager not only lets you search for your documents by file name, but it also allows you to search by topic, title, author, etc.

Backup copies (file versions)

If desired, TextMaker creates a backup copy of the document each time the document is saved. You can even instruct the program to automatically take "snapshots" of the document at regular intervals while you're working on it.

The following pages provide detailed information on these functions.
