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:

▪textmaker24free starts TextMaker.

▪planmaker24free starts PlanMaker.

▪presentations24free starts Presentations.

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

Entering address upon initial start: When you start TextMaker for the first time, you will be asked to enter your name, address, phone number, etc. This information is not used for registering the program. It is in fact required by TextMaker in order to automatically personalize the supplied document templates for letters. You can always change this information at a later stage (see Settings, General tab).
