TextMaker 2006: Desktop-Class Word Processing on Your Pocket PC

---

Have you ever tried editing a Microsoft Word document on your Pocket PC? After all, your Pocket PC comes with Word Mobile or Pocket Word, and both are touted by Microsoft as mobile counterparts to Microsoft Word.

If you in fact tried, you probably had an unpleasant surprise: Not only are they as limited as the "WordPad" program that comes with Windows for free, they are also very good at silently removing nearly all the formatting from your Microsoft Word files...

SoftMaker offers something better: TextMaker 2006, the only word processor for Pocket PCs that actually deserves to be called a word processor.

TextMaker for Pocket PCs offers the full feature set and convenience of Windows word processors such as Microsoft Word 2003: Comprehensive formatting capabilities. Paragraph and character stylesheets. Headers and footers. An outliner that lets you rearrange documents quickly. Real tables with repeating headers, joint cells, borders and shading. A complete forms editor that lets you easily create forms with checkboxes, lists, and input fields. And much, much more!

What's more: TextMaker reads and writes all Microsoft Word files seamlessly. Finally, you can work on important documents on your Pocket PC and be certain that all formatting or content is preserved.

TextMaker for Pocket PCs has been created as a mobile equivalent to Microsoft Word 2003. It has the same AutoShapes drawing layer built in, allows you to use all Unicode characters in your Word documents, and even supports Word's Track Changes feature that lets you accept/reject modifications quickly.

No matter whether you create new documents on the road or just edit and review existing files: TextMaker 2006 for Pocket PCs is your new companion for mobile word processing.

Imagine that: Mobile word processing on your Pocket PC just like with Microsoft Word on the desktop!

TextMaker 2006 for Pocket PCs has the same capabilities as TextMaker for Windows – it is the only desktop-class word processor for Pocket PCs!

What the press says about TextMaker on Pocket PCs

---

• infosync.no:
  "TextMaker is a true wonder of a program. In its efficient use of space (both storage and screen) and equally efficient programming, it stretches the limited platform of the Pocket PC to new limits. In sheer power alone it happily leaves its rivals in the dust: in fact, I’d go so far as to say that this is the most important PPC program now available for almost any mobile professional."

• PDA Essentials:
  "TextMaker is the most feature-packed word processor to be developed for the Pocket PC platform and it has all the features that you would expect to find on a high-end PC word processor (and a few more besides)."

• Brighthand.com:
  "Leaves Pocket Word in the dust"

• Pocket PC Life:
  "This product is a must have for anyone who wants a real word processor and addresses one of the few weak points in the Pocket PC world."

• PocketAnywhere.com:
  "Worth every penny."

• PPCW.net:
  "It’s amazing, really amazing and I’m completely amazed."

• PPCSG.com:
  "Arguably the best Pocket PC word program. I would recommend it to anyone."

A must buy for any PPC!

by Rob Green   from Mansfield, OH

I have been putting off buyingthis pogram for some time now and I have to say that I was a fool! This program is one of the best I have for my PPC. I can do everything I can on my Word 2003. I lovbe being able to edit and create pictures and text boxes. Editing graphs and tables is so easy. What a great program. Wish I had bought it sooner.

Good but not a notebook replacement

Excellent formatting options. Easy to use. Would use it more, but you cannot print from textmaker. I hoped to use this to break away from my PC, but you have to transfer file back to PC in order to print!

Great Program

A really handy program that does exactly as it says. I've always found it easy to use, and well worth the money.
