It's going to be a very handy piece of software. 20 Sun 2008 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#9 I like TM Viewer because I can preview Openoffice Writer documents with it. Not many software programms can do that. And it's quite fast. Thank you. 17 Thu 2008 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#8 Textmaker Viewer 2006 was easy to install and worked like it said it would. I have no idea if there is an uninstaller with this program but it doesn't matter as I'll never uninstall it. Worked right out of the box - it even changed the necessary file associations for me,after it asked if I wanted it to. Thank you for a great program, for me it was a "life-saver". 14 Sat 2008 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#7 The TextMaker Viewer worked as promised. I had no problems!! 07 Wed 2008 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#6 Much better. Simple to use and no glitches. 20 Thu 2007 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#5 Pro:- Slick user interface. Can view many type of documents. Small footprint and fast. Con:- Printing dithering may not good enough for low resolution printer. (Dot-Matrix). 13 Thu 2007 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#4 I needed an application that would let me look at some old OpenOffice.org word processed files that I had transferred to a new PC where OpenOffice wasn't installed. TextMaker Viewer did the trick -- easy to install and use. 29 Sun 2007 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#3 This is just what I needed to view open document format text files. Very small footprint and very fast. Much better product than two or three other odt viewers I've tried. It's time that Microsoft and Corel get with the program and provide open document support because it's here and it's going to be adopted by ever more governmental entities as the public standard. 20 Tue 2007 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#2 I like the zoom function, but a few observations off the top of my head. 1. With the mouse context button action to copy disabled, the C-c command should also be blocked to synchronize. Alternatively, the mouse context menu should be enabled. 2. The toolbar button allows toggle of the Vertical Ruler, and the Horizontal Ruler. But the menu only allows toggle of the Horizontal Ruler. Why does the menu not have a toggle function for the Vertical Ruler? 3. The help button in the file open dialog should display a meaningful message for the 'Quick Path' button. Regards, abhishek p.s. Please consider removing the headline 'These are the mistakes' in the post preview. 13 Sat 2007 http://textmaker-viewer.softmaker-software-gmbh.qarchive.org/#1 For my use it worked. I was able to view the file I wanted. The only thing I wasn't able to do was have it automatically convert the text to a new fromat as selected when clicking send. I copied and pasted into MSWord instead so that worked. My only real need was to view and transfer an OpenOffice document to MSWord without having OpenOffice. 11 Thu 2007
