We demoed new features including [track changes](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2018/04/24/sneak-peek-x16-ms-word-compatible-track-changes/llms-full.txt) and [excel compatible formulas](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2018/07/25/sneak-peek-working-with-formulas-in-table-cells/llms-full.txt) at our demo counter. It was very interesting and a lot of fun talking to enthusiastic developers and getting feedback which drives our products. We gave away hundreds of our Text Control branded water bottles and, as always, raffled off an XBOX One X at the end of the conference. Thanks to all attendees and friends who stopped by our booth. Below are some impressions of our booth area at the conference: [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_01.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_01.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_02.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_02.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_03.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_03.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_04.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_04.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_05.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_05.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_06.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_06.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_07.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_07.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_08.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_08.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_09.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_09.webp) [![Text Control at BASTA! 2018](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_10.webp "Text Control at BASTA! 2018")](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2018/09/29/a/assets/tx_basta_10.webp) See you next year in Frankfurt at BASTA!
