Strange Subscription Message

Hi,

I have set up a regular subscription for Softmaker NX, which renews automatically each month.

However, the software has just announced that my subscription ends on the renewal date and says I need to renew it, or the software will stop working.

Do I need to do anything? Why has the message ...

Re: NX Updates

Thank you! That means I will continue to pay my monthly subscription, in the hope that the new version will fill some of the gaps vs Excel. Will there be any other improvements to Planmaker, beyond XLOOKUP and FILTER?

Re: NX Updates

Oh! - so we will get the major new version within the next 2-3 months, complete with XLOOKUP and FILTER (etc.)?

Re: NX Updates

Great. Do we get a clue what it might be? Will it help the spreadsheet become more compatible with modern Excel functions?

NX Updates

Hi,

I am currently paying for the NX version of Softmaker Office, which I understand receives regular updates.

I'm yet to receive any updates. How often are they released please and is there any information on what the next one will contain?

I realise you don't like telling users anything about ...

Re: YEARFRAC

Thank you for responding on a Saturday! Is there a list of new functions that will be supported in the next major release please? I think Planmaker is very good but I am finding a few "gaps" when trying to use my old Excel files. Thanks.

YEARFRAC

Hi,

I am currently working on a file that was originally created in Excel, which includes the YEARFRAC function.

It seems that Planmaker does not support this, so I''ve had to revert to OnlyOffice, which does.

Will this function be added in the next major release please, alongside XLOOKUP and ...

Re: Font Colour in Tab Names

Ok, here goes.

Starting from a blank workbook with one tab, called "Sheet1".

I right-click on the tab. A context-sensitive menu appears. I select "Properties".

A window appears with the heading "Worksheet". On the right hand side is a section called "Sheet tab". It includes a drop-down menu with ...

Re: Font Colour in Tab Names

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I wasn't sure how to attach a picture, so I have temporarily added one to my personal website:

https://www.thomasoliver.org/

The screenshot is just below the first picture. I selected a custom colour. Planmaker asked if I wanted to add it to my pallet of user-defined ...

Font Colour in Tab Names

Hi,

I must start by saying that Planmaker gets better the more I use it. That's a rare joy!

I do have a (small) issue. The names of the tabs are sometimes shown in black text even when the colour of the tab is very dark. That makes it difficult to read.

Sadly, I can't work out a picture to show ...

Re: Shapes as Pictures

Thanks. I understand about "snipping", but it isn't as accurate, or as convenient.

I use this functionality regularly in LibreOffice's "Impress" module. LibreOffice allows you to export ANY image, text box, shape/group etc as an image file. It does not force you to cut and paste it as an image ...

Shapes as Pictures

Hi,

I'm trying the NX Presentations module and want to insert a rectangle and then export it as an image.

When I right-click on the shape, it only offers "Properties", not "Picture: Properties", and there is no subsequent option to export it as an image.

I therefore decided to paste the shape as ...

Re: Macros

Thanks for the reply. That's a shame, but I understand. Roll on XLOOKUP and FILTER!
