When you receive documents from friends or colleagues, you want to edit them with your office suite. Most of the time, these documents are in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Excel (.xls) format. That's why TextMaker and PlanMaker read and write these file formats with highest fidelity. You can even set your default file types in TextMaker and PlanMaker to "Word" and "Excel" and never worry about exchanging documents again! NewsForge.com says about PlanMaker: "You won't find a more Excel-compatible spreadsheet on any operating system", and InfoSyncWorld raves about TextMaker: "Perhaps the most appreciated feature will be the lossless round-trip conversion for Word documents, which worked without a hitch on all our formatted, footnoted and neat Word documents." But TextMaker and PlanMaker offer even more document filters. For example, TextMaker reads OpenDocument and OpenOffice.org files, and SoftMaker Office comes with support for numerous additional formats. And if you plan to use SoftMaker Office on multiple operating systems – for example, on Windows, on a Pocket PC or a Windows CE device – you will appreciate that SoftMaker Office will run on all those systems and all variants are able to exchange documents without any conversion.
