Working with other file formats
Normally, TextMaker saves a document in its native file format, namely, the
“TextMaker document” format. TextMaker documents can be recognized easily by
the filename extension .TMD (TextMaker document). When you save a document,
TextMaker automatically appends this extension to the name you give it. For
example, if you save a document under the name “Letter”, its complete filename
will be LETTER.TMD.
You can save a file in various other file formats as well, which is useful, for example,
when you want to do additional work on a document using another program.
And you can also open documents in TextMaker that have been created with other
word processors.
In this chapter you will learn how to work with other file formats. It covers the
following topics:
Saving and opening files in other file formats
The first section describes how to save or open a document in a different file
format. You simply invoke the File > Save as command (or, the File > Open
command respectively) and choose the file format in the Save as type list.
Working with text files
When you open or save a text file, its character set is usually determined
automatically. As needed, you can specify the character set manually. This section
contains information how to do this.
