Product Overview:

Features:

Germany-based SoftMaker Software GmbH started out in the late 1980s with a DOS word processor and font rendering engine. Both products later moved to Windows in the 1990s, and in the early 2000s began to support a wider array of computing platforms. Today, the TextMaker word processor has evolved into a multi-language, multi-platform professional document creation tool. Its stable, capable, and lightweight, but its crowning feature is still its superior file format compatibility with Microsoft Word. The PlanMaker spreadsheet is a relatively new addition to the SoftMaker family, this being its second version in production. It is to Excel what TextMaker is to Word -- a cheaper, appropriately-featured replacement with outstanding Excel file compatibility that works on multiple computing platforms, with a less restrictive license. SoftMaker Office is available for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista, and Windows Mobile/PocketPC, making it the most versatile full-featured office suite on the market.
