TextMaker is a cross-platform word processing software.

If you are using Linux or FreeBSD as a desktop operating system, you need an efficient, powerful word processor. Sounds easy?

Well, try some Linux word processors, and you might find out this:

Either ... the word processor has a comprehensive feature set, but needs heaps of memory and takes forever to launch.

Or ... the software is quick and compact – but the programmers seem to have forgotten one thing: adding features...

Finally ... there are word processing packages with a look-and-feel directly from the computer stone age. Have any experience with modern word processors? Relearn everything!

How about a smarter solution? A word processor that launches lightning-fast, needs little memory, does not require complicated setup, and still has the full feature set of a modern high-end word processor? A word processor that reads and writes Microsoft Word 6/95/97/2000/XP/2003 and Word for Macintosh files without losing formatting or content? A word processor that is fast and powerful?

Look no further: TextMaker for Linux and TextMaker for FreeBSD are here!
