The NX version of the suite is the subscription version and as long as you subscribe, you're entitled to all updates and new versions for free. SoftMaker Office is well-priced, and there are various options available depending on whether you want to pay a one-off fee or subscribe on a monthly or annual basis. You'll also find new functions for pivot tables, an improved real-time calculation function in the status bar and numerous new calculation functions. When it comes to PlanMaker, improvements to printing mean it is easier than ever to layout table for printing using drag and drop. In Presentations, it is now possible to create portable slideshows that can be played back on PCs that do not have SoftMaker Office installed. There's also a powerful versioning feature which makes it easy to revert to an older version of a document thanks to automatic backups.
There's also a new Navigator pane which displays document thumbnails to aid navigation. Improvements from previous versions of the suite include enhancements to footnotes, cross-referencing and tables of contents, as well as improved search. This is a fully featured suite that offers full support for Microsoft's DOCX, XLSX and PPTX formats, and for anyone who needs powerful citation tools, there's support for the literature management program Zotero. In terms of look and feel, SoftMaker Office is very similar to Microsoft Office, using the same ribbon-style toolbar, although it does appear slightly more basic. There's also a macro tool called BasicMaker. The suite is made up of three main components: PlanMaker the spreadsheet tool, Presentations the presentation tool, and TextMaker the word processor. The prevalence of Microsoft Office means that sometimes it is easy to forget that other office suites exist.
