Preferences and settings import?

Post by rafikiphoto »

How do I transfer settings and prefs from the 2018 version to the 2021?

Currently, we don't have any option to import settings from SoftMaker Office 2018 to SoftMaker Office 2021.

Thanks

I hope that is on a 'to do list'? If not may I make it a feature request please?

I forwarded your request to development.

Note that SmartText, user dictionaries and Hunspell dictionaries use the same file names as SoftMaker Office, so they will simply continue to work.

If you want, you can copy tmw18config.ini to tmw21config.ini (same for pmw18config and prw18config), this will transfer your settings.

Customized toolbars or ribbons cannot be moved, since the file formats have changed.

There is now a feature for import/export certain settings.

See Manual
