I just received an email to participate in beta testing of Softmaker Office 2021 - I'm sure many of the members here did as well.
I normally have little time and no interest to be a guinea pig, but I thought this time I will spend a bit of time on that.
I vaguely remember having some issues with the rendering of Power Point files last time.
Well, I spent about 5 minutes so far and already have what seems to be a major problem.
Opened a ppt file with Softmaker Presentation
Saved that file then in Microsoft format per Softmaker option
That file then will no longer open with MS Power Point - comes up with a message that file needs to be repaired but when I check OK, the repair fails.
File still opens with Softmaker
BTW - Download and installation of software was very quick with no problems.
Install took only 2 1/2 minutes and my 2012 Mini is not the fastest.
Anyone else interested in doing some beta testing of this software?
