Today we respond to user feedback by announcing a minor new release of TextFlow.
The most important new feature is that TextFlow now preserves all formatting, style, background images, headers and footers when importing and then later exporting a Word document. The first Word document imported when starting on a new document defines a style “template” that is applied on subsequent exports back to Word. This means that you will no longer lose your custom Word styles, headers, letterheads, etc. (Please note that embedded images and tables are still not supported in TextFlow.)
This release marks the first step in our vision to make moving between Word and TextFlow as smooth as possible, and testing of this feature has gone so well that we decided to make an interim release.
This collage shows the original Word document to the left, the document being edited in TextFlow in the middle, and finally the exported result to the right.
The second new feature is that it is now possible to rename a document. However, there is a minor restriction: you are not allowed to rename a document that has already been shared, as this may create confusing situations where different users have different names it.
Finally, we have increased the maximum allowed length of a password for TextFlow from 10 characters up to 25.
As always, existing users of TextFlow will automatically upgrade next time they launch TextFlow.
