I had previously asked for assistance
in suppressing superscripting in FreeOffice 2018 Textmaker,
and got no reply. Probably because free software
comes with no assistance. So after much searching and
futzing around, I found out how to do it:
What is FreeOffice?
It is not an openSUSE package. Most people use LibreOffice, I
have never heard of FreeOffice. It doesn't even have a
wikipedia page. Maybe this one:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoftMaker_Office>
It is proprietary software, so it is supported by them. Not
"Free" in the sense of the word used in Linux.
License: Proprietary (freeware/registerware)
As you know, there has been a long-running thread about a
substitute for Libre Office Writer.
No, I'm not aware of that.
Do you have a link to the thread?
I don't have the first post, but I answered "Any subs for
LibreOffice?" where the correspondents were listed as Community support for Fedora users, and
I suggested Free Office from OfficeMaker, and there is an answer in
the thread from ToddandMargo, who are apparently
associated with the OfficeMaker people, who are based in Germany.
This thread seems to have been from "Community
support for Fedora users" so I must apologize for sending this
post to the OpenSuse list.
The series seems to have started on 11 August,
if anyone cares to look.
(I keep an eye on Fedora since it is one of the founding rpm
distros.)

I haven't noticed any issue with LO :-?
I had mentioned that under certain circumstances of cut and paste
into LO, large black almost-squares appear in the copied text.
Others mentioned
other gotchas. TextMaker can save in pdf's directly, BTW. I believe
the free version does also.
The only issue I have is that I can no longer generate PDFs using
the internal fonts of the reader, thus having to embed all fonts
making the files bigger.
