Final beta of the TextMaker 2005 for Windows word processor Tuesday, November 1 2005
Nuernberg, Germany -- November 1, 2005 -- A word processor that
costs much less than Microsoft Word, is much faster than
OpenOffice.org and is fully compatible with both of them -- this
would be a characterization of TextMaker 2005 for Windows.
German software maker SoftMaker announced the final beta version
of its flagship product for Windows today. The beta is available
as a free download to the public.
TextMaker 2005 offers a feature set comparable to, and even
surpassing, Microsoft Word 2003 -- including advanced features
like AutoShapes, WordArt, and Track Changes -- but is more
reliable with long documents, significantly less expensive, and
works on multiple platforms: Windows, Linux, Pocket PCs
(Windows Mobile), Handheld PCs, Windows CE.NET, Qtopia, and FreeBSD.
The beta for Windows is available immediately from the company's
web site at www.softmaker.com/english/tmw05_en.htm
One of TextMaker's main attractions is its superior compatibility
with the Microsoft Word ".doc" file format. Users won't find
another word processor that is as capable of handling complex
Microsoft Word files as TextMaker 2005. In fact, many of the new
features in TextMaker 2005 have been designed with the goal of
allowing TextMaker users to work seamlessly in
Microsoft Word-dominated environments.
TextMaker 2005 also offers compatibility with the open source
office suite OpenOffice.org and the industry standard
OpenDocument (OASIS) file format.
Improvements in TextMaker 2005 include full Unicode support
with special handling for Asian scripts, an AutoShape-compatible
drawing layer, WordArt, tracked changes, objects anchored to
paragraphs, better table handling, and a bibliography function.
TextMaker 2005 comes with user interfaces in English, German,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Hungarian, Simplified
Chinese, and Japanese.
The tentative release date of the commercial version of TextMaker
for Windows is November 15. It will carry a suggested retail
price of US$ 49.95 (49.95 Euro) -- significantly below Microsoft
Word's list price.
