extMaker 2005 for Windows enters public beta testing Monday, August 22 2005
SoftMaker, the German maker
of multi-platform office software, announced today the public beta
release of its flagship word processor TextMaker 2005 for Windows.
TextMaker 2005 offers a feature set comparable to Microsoft Word
2003 -- even 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
Beta versions for the other supported operating systems will be
released in the coming weeks.
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 (née 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, and Simplified Chinese.
When released, TextMaker 2005 will carry a suggested retail
price of US$ 49.95 (49.95 Euro) -- significantly below Microsoft
Word's list price.
