Nuremberg, July 17, 2006
Free TextMaker Viewer displays all common word processing formats
Nuremberg, Germany
German software vendor SoftMaker has followed on the heels of the
release of its latest version of TextMaker with a free-for-download
file viewer that opens practically every popular word processing
format. TextMaker Viewer can open, display and print documents
created by TextMaker, Microsoft Word, StarOffice, OpenOffice.org,
OpenDocument and several other popular word processors.
The TextMaker Viewer is a 4 MB download. There are no registration
requirements or harvesting of downloader information. TextMaker
Viewer is provided free as a goodwill gesture by SoftMaker because
they realize many users are frustrated by the many competing,
incompatible document formats on the market. By offering a simple
and fast tool to open these disparate file formats, TextMaker Viewer
provides a useful utility for Windows-based machines. A Linux
version of TextMaker Viewer is being developed and will be released
shortly.
TextMaker Viewer is based on technology from the popular SoftMaker
TextMaker 2006 multi-platform word processor. The current release of
TextMaker Viewer supports the following file formats: .DOC
(Microsoft Word 6.0 and higher), .DOT (Microsoft Word templates 6.0
and higher), .TMD (TextMaker 6.0 and higher), .ODT (OpenDocument
Text), .SXW (StarOffice, OpenOffice.org), .PSW (Pocket Word for
Pocket PC), .PWD (Pocket Word for Handheld PC), and the basic .RTF,
.TXT, .HTM and .HTML files. TextMaker Viewer works on all versions
of Windows (95 and higher).
