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. I had suggested Textmaker Open Office, which, as you say, is proprietary. I have no complaint about that--if it is what you need to do the job, use it. FreeOffice is a free (no money) version of Softmaker Office suite, and Textmaker is the word-processor component of it. It turns out that the software in FreeOffice Textmaker is the 2018 version of the program which has been updated for 2020 and now requires a fee--apparently yearly. The FreeOffice version requires no fee and is good forever. The FreeOffice package is an rpm file which will create the three items in the office suite: Textmaker, PlanMaker--a spreadsheet, and a presentation package to create slides. I believe that there are some limitations to the spreadsheet program, but for my purposes--to display a spreadsheet prepared by someone else, probably on Windows--is fine. So it is for me a perfect substitute for LibreOffice Writer, which I found has undesirable characteristics. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
