Work on your documents wherever and whenever you want!
If you are using Presentations on a smartphone, you will see the following toolbar at the
bottom of the screen:
The nine icons to the right of the separator open additional toolbars where you should find all
the commands you need in everyday life.
If you need to do something more complicated, the icon on the far left gives you the complete
functionality of our presentation software in a classic menu.
Using it on a tablet
If you are using Presentations on a tablet, you will notice the ribbon at the top of the screen,
which you may already know from the Office suite on your desktop PC:
For convenient use on tablets, we have come up with a practical feature for the Android
version: By tapping on the labels of the individual icon groups, you can expand or collapse
them. This enables you to just expand your most frequently used commands and make the
most of the available space.
Manually switching the user interface
You may like the minimalistic user interface for smartphones so much that you want to use it
on your tablet. Alternatively, you may feel that the automatically preselected user interface
style does not suit your device perfectly.
In such cases, you can manually switch to a user interface style of your choice. To switch from
the ribbon style to the smartphone interface or classic menus, simply tap on any free space of
the ribbon and keep your finger pressed for a moment. Then select the entry User interface
from the context menu that now appears.
To switch from the smartphone interface to a different style, tap on the “hamburger menu”
icon on the far left of the toolbar at the bottom of your screen. In the menu that now opens,
select Tools > Options and switch to the Appearance tab in the dialog box Options that
appears.
Manually switching the user interface
• You can now set the desired style in the dropdown list
User interface.
• As you can see, each style is also available in a dark
version that is easy on the eyes.
• After confirming your selection, Presentations will be
available in the desired style.
Tip: Do you want to resize the user interface elements and their labels? You can also do this
on the Appearance tab of the dialog box “Options”. To do so, simply tap on the User
interface size button and select the desired configuration in the dialog box that appears.
Selecting, copying and formatting text
You can change how much text is selected by moving these handles with your finger.
You can then format, cut or copy the text as desired. You will find the relevant functions on the
dedicated toolbars when using the smartphone user interface. These functions appear when
you tap on the third, fourth and fifth icons of the main toolbar at the bottom of the screen:
When using the tablet user interface, you will find the formatting and clipboard commands on
the ribbon tab Home.
Working with objects
To insert objects such as pictures or drawings, simply tap on the sixth icon of the main toolbar
at the bottom of the screen:
After inserting an object via the second toolbar that now appears, you can format and
reposition it as desired.
• Not only can you open and save documents locally on your device with SoftMaker Office for
Android, but you can also access Google Drive, Dropbox and other cloud storages.
• It is really easy: Choose Open or Save as. A file dialog immediately appears and lets you
access both local and cloud files.
Tip: If your cloud storage is not listed, you need to download and install the corresponding app
of your cloud provider in the Google Play Store beforehand.
Unlock additional functionality
SoftMaker Office for Android provides everything you need to edit your documents on the go –
completely free of charge.
Furthermore, a couple of fee-based functions are available. These include, among others,

To activate them, either enter the product key of your SoftMaker Office NX subscription or
