Virus Scan for Atlantis Word Processor

Tom Colvin I read somewhere that Atlantis is also installed on the new Galaxy Tab tablet -- so having a copy on one's desktop and USB stick might help one manage documents in a variety of places.

_*_ Will Atlantis open and save .docx format?

Also, how does Atlantis handle indents? Is it by manual adjustment on the ruler or is it more like Wordperfect simply pressing the F7 key to the desired indent level?

Thanks

Michael R. Looks like a great tool with a generous policy (as it should be with all products)

When reading 'word processor' at first, I thought it would perhaps be a writing tool operating on pure ascii-code. Of course it is not...

Nevertheless, I would really like to have a writing tool, which could export pure ascii-text too, which output looks - as far as it possible - like the original text, i.e. would be able to have paragraphs, pages, footnotes, some columns per page, left/right/full justification, ... Such a feature would be great.

Taras Push M B,

Yes, Atlantis Word Processor can both open existing documents in the DOCX format, and save any document as DOCX.

Atlantis has toolbar buttons and hot keys that you could use to change paragraph indents and spacing. Below are some default hot keys:

****************************
Increase left indent: Ctrl+M
Decrease left indent: Ctrl+Shift+M
Add / Remove first line indent: Shift+Alt+M
Increase first line outdent: Ctrl+T
Decrease first line outdent: Ctrl+Shift+T
****************************

Tom Colvin I've been aware of Atlantis for several years, have even covered it about 3 years ago on my blog for writers. I downloaded the current version a couple days ago and have been using it on a new writing project. Atlantis has come a long way. And I think that it may become MY WORD PROCESSOR OF CHOICE. So far, I really, really like it.

_*_ Taras Push,

After writing my above post (and before you answered), I went to your forums and searched for Tables. Best I can figure it seems Tables implementation has been waiting for years! I may have this totally wrong though.

First, I never knew of Atlantis before the Bits offer, or that it was this old of a program. Good for you staying in business and keeping the program moving forward.

Second, I am not trying to cause issues with this; for me personally, Tables are quite important and wondered if this feature is really on the list of things to do, or if it will be years in the making yet.

It is a feature I use on a fairly regular basis, but am not opposed to using a work around if you have one.

Thanks for any insight you can offer.

Bright Spark I have been happily using Atlantis for several years. It is true that it does not handle tables, and hopefully that will sometime be added. However, I really like that the product still "feels" light and responsive. It has been updated and improved many times over the years, but the focus on ease of use has been maintained. Also, I have never had to pay upgrade fees. For those interested in a lighter word processor than Word, this is one of the best "value for money" products around.

One feature that I really appreciate, is that it keeps a list of directories/folders that have been used for opening or saving its files. It makes it really easy to move between documents in different folders.

Don Goddard Several years back I had to create rich text format documents for a computer-based training program I was developing. I had designed a reference library to open and view rtf documents with the authoring tool I was using. since rtf is such a common format, I thought this would be a simple task. It was not. The rtf documents I created in MS Word and several other rtf editors did not reliably display (the original format was altered). Atlantis Word Processor (lite) was the only rtf editor that could create documents that displayed in my program as originally designed. I thought this might mean that Atlantis was more faithful to the rtf format specification? I am picking up a copy!

Rich OBrien Atlantis Word Processor needs to add the Word Art of Microsoft Word. Only I suggest the programmers of Atlantis Word Processor begin by looking at "Text Art" in the TextMaker 2010 Word Processor by downloading a trial copy of SoftMkaer Office 2010 software from Germany. "Text Art" in TextMaker 2010 is obviously inspired by WordArt only "Text Art" is far better. The system for creating and controlling gradient color fills in "Text Art" is pure genius.
One other feature I'm looking for is the way Microsoft Word displays the 10 most recently used fonts together at the top of its font list. Once you use a font, you'll find it conveniently at the top of the list. Word has had this feature for decades and other programs such as Corel Draw also have had this feature for many years. Once you enjoy the convenience of picking your fonts this way, you'll want this feature in every word processor and every program that uses fonts.

Don Goddard This is an interesting discussion. There are probably many reasons why people prefer one piece of software or another. I have also used AbiWord and have actively tracked its progress over the years. I like the fact that it supports tables. But, when I had my problem I tried AbiWord but was not able to get it to generate an rtf file that was compatible with the rtf object in the authoring tool I use (NeoBook). I even downloaded the rtf spec to see if that could give me a clue to the failures. That just caused more confusion since the spec didn't seem that complicated and made me wonder why the 3 or 4 I tried couldn't handle that task. It seems reasonable that people should evaluate a product to see if it fits their specific needs and base purchase on the results.

Tazzie A long time user of MS Word as well as of Open Office, I decided on a whim to try Atlantis ... fell in love with it and bought it right away. I use it all the time and really have not had to resort to the other word processors. Of course, I don't do the heavy duty word processing that I used to, but I've done enough to keep me satisfied. It does indeed have features that I haven't found elsewhere, and I enjoy finding new features and different ways of using old features. I find the layout familiar enough to be intuitive yet still with great new features. You really need to try this to appreciate it. I especially enjoy the ability to drag text, pics, links to docs open in Atlantis .... more than one doc open is shown in tabs so you can switch back and forth more easily, or can be shown side by side, which is great for editing and merging docs, etc. I love the control board, and have had great fun playing with the format brush ... much easier to do different formatting in the same doc.

Anyway ... way too much to summarize here ... check it out and hurry :)

K X I bought this the last time it was on Bits du Jour and I use it every day. I enjoy it because more streamlined than MS Word. And I've got it on a flash drive. My preference is not to do a lot of complex formatting (to me, Word is bloatware). I have lots of fairly short documents open regularly and I'm fine with rtf format. I had been using XP's default rtf editor, but Atlantis goes way beyond that in terms of features which I find useful.

HJ B @ Taras Push

Thank you for your responses.

Your comment about Atlantis not being intended as a replacement for MS Word does not quite go to the point. Its capability of opening an MS word document is a central feature. It would be nice to know, without trial and error testiing, what formatting of an MS Word document will be lost if it is opened in Atlantis. Conversely, it would be nice to know what formatting of an Atlantis document will be lost if opened in MS Word. This kind of information is important in two respects.

1. When one trades documents with other people who do not use Atlantis, what is it that will not survive the trade;

2) There is certainly a benefit to using a light word process, such as Atlantis, for a great deal of what most of us do. Your replacement comment touches on the heart of the problem -- if it is not intended as a replacement, then it is assumed that users will have both applications. If they do, they should know, at least as to major matters, what elements are not compatible as they go back and forth between the two applications.

3. On a related point, can Atlantis documents that are protected be opened in MS Word by someone who has the password?

Sometimes, on BDJ readers timely enter questions, but the answers are not forthcoming until after the offer has closed. There ought to be some way to better balance the process so that prospective purchasers are not placed in the position of having to purchase with unanswered, legitimate questions still pending. For me,.this is one of those instances.

I also find it unfortunate that a number of vendors rely exclusively on help screens and do not have a manual in pdf format. One who wishes to learn a program (as opposed to just seeking an answer to a narrow queston) ought be able to have the advantages that a pdf brings. Similarly, it would be nice to know about program operational and functional details without having to first install the program. Numerous tentative installations and removals are not likely in the best interests of a healthy computer.

Taras Push Atlantis documents (RTF, DOC, and DOCX) are supposed to be fully-compatible with MS Word. If you open any Atlantis document in MS Word, it would be rendered in both applications almost identically -

But the reverse is not true because there is no other word processor that supports all the document elements and formatting options of MS Word.

HJ B @Taras Push

Thank you. I think this is the type of information people would like to know up front, even if or particularly if they decide to purchase Atlantis.

I don't think, however, that it is adequate for you to simply make the point that there are some MS Word features not supported by Atlantis.

For example, as the result of someone's earlier question, it was noted that tables are not supported. That means a major change in formatting when the document is opened in Atlantis, and there is no way that the Atlantis user knows that a change has occurred. It would be helpful if the vendor maintained a list of incompatible features so that users do not have to discover them by trial and error or, worse, not be aware that significant changes have occurred in a document.

Can you tell us whether forms, utilizing MS Words form fields, will generally survive intact if opened in Atlantis? Similarly, do Atlantis generated forms survive in tact when opened in Word?

I like Atlantis.

However, you are not getting my point. If someone sends me a Word document or a Word form, and I open it in Atlantis, I have no way of knowing whether I am looking at the item, as sent, or as partially presented by Atlantis.

If someone had not mentioned the table problem, I would not know that the poorly formatted portion of a document was not what the original contained.

To tell me I have to tell for myself is like telling me to walk through a house, but not telling me that there is an unstable floor in some places. I will eventually find out, but to my sorrow.

Taras Push I afraid that the only way to find out if a given MS Word document displays in Atlantis in the same way as in MS Word (ie as intended by the document author), is by comparing the two displays. Yes, there is a short list of "major" formatting types and document elements available in MS Word and unsupported by the current version of Atlantis Word Processor. If you need that list, you can have it. But we do not claim that Atlantis Word Processor is a MS Word replacement. Actually there is no real replacement for MS Word.

Brent Price In all honesty I own the original MS Word (several versions in fact), and I just bought Atlantis when it was offered. My thought on any product is that it is only useful if you actually use it! Since I've bought Atlantis, quite honestly I've used it more than I have my office suite. Mainly because it works the way I want it to and with Word I'm constantly having to tell it that this is the way I want to write, not how word wants me to. Both Amazing products don't get me wrong but if I have a choice to write it will be with Atlantis before Word. And for budding authors out there, its a heck of a lot cheaper. That said, doesn't mean its less than what an average user might want in a fine word processor!

Kelly Hamblin This is my all-time favorite word processor. I've used it for years - maybe since 2004. And I've only had to pay for ONE license in all that time.

It is fast, hugely customizable, never crashes or hangs, works perfectly every day. Opens in three seconds on my XP system with all the files I had open the last time it loaded, and it has the cursor in the exact place I was working the last time I shut it down - on every document that was opened.

BUT - it can't be your only word processor because tables are missing, and the developer is strangely resistant to adding that capability. I gave up complaining long ago and just switch to another word processor when I need them. However, the application is so fast and responsive that I wonder if tables would bog it down. If so, I'd rather leave it like it is.

Atlantis at full price is such a bargain that I feel guilty for having paid so little. It is worth much more, and I can run it on both my desktop and my laptop, and as I mentioned earlier, it's a one-time price.

VLM I use Adobe FrameMaker for long, complex documents. What I'm looking for is a complete replacement for MS Word for little documents.Obviously, the absence of tables is a huge limitation. Still ... I have been considering Ashampoo Office, but ... do people here believe Atlantis WP effectively replaces MS Word for all sorts of routine authoring/publishing tasks?

Can one paste from, say, Excel or Visio into an Atlantis WP document?

How does the program handle imported graphics? Does it have any basic built-in graphics creation or editing tools?

Does it handle links well?

Also, just to be sure, can Atlantis WP save to .doc/.docx formats? rtf? (I never wish to assume. :)

Thanks!

VLM More questions ...

1. Is it possible to create user-defined fields (user-defined variables)? For example, I might wish to create a variable that always inserts a topic name. The advantage of this approach over autocorrect is that with a variable, one can simply redefine the variable to change every instance of the name -- but only those instances inserted using the variable. (Better than global search-and-replace).

2. Is it possible to import formats / styles and settings from document to document, or from a user-defined, functional template document into various other documents?

3. I see the project feature. But is there a genuine book feature? In other words, if I have a series of documents TitlePage, FrontMatter, Chap01, Chap02, etc., can Atlantis WP comprehend these as a book? Is there any book-level functionality, such as book-level pagination, or book-level consolidation of formatting styles?

4. Can Atlantis WP generate custom-formatted tables of contents? Lists of figures, tables, and the like? For a document? For a book?

Thanks!

Taras Push "Can one paste from, say, Excel or Visio into an Atlantis WP document?"

You can paste plain text, rich-formatted text, and static images.

"How does the program handle imported graphics?"

Images get embedded into the document body as inline objects, and stored within document files as PNG or JPEG.

"Does it have any basic built-in graphics creation or editing tools?"

Sorry, no built-in graphic editor.

It does.

"Also, just to be sure, can Atlantis WP save to .doc/.docx formats? rtf?"

VLM Taras, I appreciate your responses. I have some follow-up items:

You write: "You can paste plain text, rich-formatted text, and static images.". Does this mean that one can or cannot paste sections of a spreadsheet and/or charts? And if yes, are they linked back to the original?

You write: "Images get embedded into the document body as inline objects, and stored within document files as PNG or JPEG.". So there is no ability to import by reference to a location;graphics are not self-updating,. correct?

You write: "You can control formatting of a TOC through the "Insert | Table of Contents..." menu command." Great ... but can Atlantis WP GENERATE a TOC using a set of paragraph styles. For example, make a TOC using all the headings 1, 2, and 3.

New question: Can one easily rename ALL styles, even the program's default styles?

Thanks! I did sign up to buy a license, and it's nice to have an opportunity to get this broad spectrum feedback now.

Taras Push "Does this mean that one can or cannot paste sections of a spreadsheet and/or charts?"

Sections of a spreadsheet and charts can be pasted only as a static image with no link to the original.

"So there is no ability to import by reference to a location;graphics are not self-updating,. Correct?"

Correct.

"can Atlantis WP GENERATE a TOC using a set of paragraph styles. For example, make a TOC using all the headings 1, 2, and 3. "

When generating TOCs, Atlantis picks up all the "Heading N" paragraphs from the document text.

"Can one easily rename ALL styles, even the program's default styles?"

The program's built-in styles ("Normal", "Heading N", etc) cannot be renamed.

By the way, Atlantis Word Processor is a try-before-you-buy product. You can install and evaluate it for free for up to 30 days.

VLM Taras, thank you so much for your responses to my questions!

It seems that Atlantis WP retains some limitations imposed by Word years ago. That level of "standardization" can be a serious limitation for long documents, but I suppose it's livable for little, day-to-day stuff.

One "last question": Outlook can use Word as its default email authoring environment. Is there any way to automagically substitute Atlantis WP?

VLM Thanks Taras.

And thank you, Michael.

Sounds like it's a GREAT tool for standalone documents, and including very long documents, that require minimal structure, no tables, no generated lists (ToC, tables, figures, etc.), no common content (e.g., text insets), no indexing, no live cross-references (I presume at this point), minimal or no multipurposing, and the like, and entirely the wrong tool for documents where such requirements are in place.

For me, that's fine ... I mean, I'm fine using 2 tools for 2 different classes of tasks. The space involving complex documents is well covered by Adobe FrameMaker and Adobe InDesign. It's just important to know the boundary conditions, that's all.

Many thanks!

If I may, I have one more "one last question": Does Atlantis WP have a genuine outline capability? By this, I mean the ability to work entirely within a hierarchy of headings and sublevels, with the ability to expand and contract content display at will. I presume the answer is "no", as it's hard to find ANY products that do this really well. But I "have to" ask. :):)

_*_ While I really like Atlantis Word Processor, I have to say though, I am completely disappointed with zero table integration.

If you look at the old Conversation in January 2011 Taras Push wrote...

"Tables implementation has been waiting for years!
Yes, it's correct. Tables are an important feature in a word processor. Atlantis will have tables in a not too distant future."

Since that point it seems no obvious work has been done to make tables a reality.

I am not sure what the "not too distant future" means if has already been waiting for years, and now it is 2 years and 9 months later with no tables.

This is my main gripe with the program.

If you do not need tables this is a great choice for a stable word processor.

I think, for its long history, its loyal user community, its customisability and speed and -- particularly -- for the ability to output ePub and Mobi, this is well worth having.

Steven Aves I purchased Atlantis WP a couple of years ago from a Bitsdujour offer. I use it every day in my business as a travel agent for letters, writing detailed replies to clients then paste into e-mail, capturing text from websites to read later (easy to create tables of contents).

Personal use is similar to above but more letter focused.

I really like it because it handles the majority of my text (words) needs correctly and easily. The lack of table support is not a problem for me - if tables are needed then I use Libreoffice. In fact, I think the lack of support for tables is a good thing.

The easy creation of styles is another goody I like.

Seriously, don't knock it until you've tried it.

g harris Steven Ames sums it up very well - need tables=Libreoffice,
or, the version of Word that you keep in the back of the cupboard "just for those oh-so-special-occasions" ;)

I'm a super-fanboy of Atlantis, that's why I'm using this discount as gifts for some other clients/friends.

A tip - if you wanna use it as a portable on your regular machine,
which I do, then set your user\My Documents folder to a partition different than your system partition, and simply use the portable also from a different partition -- because it will store Favorite documents to the My Documents folder if the app is not run from a USB stick -- and if the My Documents folder is in its default location on the system partition, well, that kind of defeats the purpose of portable, eh? portable = apps + data on non-system partition to facilitate imaging/reimaging.

How can I say enough great things about it? Super-fast, light on resources --
even w/ multiple tabbed documents open, etc etc etc.

Kelly Hamblin I just wanted to jump in and say I currently have Atlantis running with eleven documents open. This is by far and away my favorite word processor and yes, I've tried them all. I've had a license for Atlantis for many years. It is rife with options and as customizable as a bit of software can be. Worth much more than the developer charges at the everyday rate. BUT, no tables. I long ago gave up on tables ever being added and just love it like it is.

When I need tables, I use another excellent software that someone else mentioned: SoftMaker Office - by far and away the best office suite out there. Libre Office is an html disaster.

Steven Aves Ed Ward; I have Notetab Pro also - have had it for years. I have NEVER used MS Word (yeah, shocking) let alone I don't know what documents you are creating let alone why you don't use Word for the whole thing.

For "full featured" word processors I still use Lotus Word Pro (I like the grammar checker) and do have Libreoffice installed (only use it for tables).

What I can say is most likely you will really appreciate the ability to manipulate your text and handle those formatting chores that a text editor is not designed to do. For me, Notetab Pro has been relegated to quickly removing excess spaces, joining lines, and formatting .csv files.

peter schleifer Taras, hello.

I have some suggestions and would be very pleased if you gave me an answer to them.

First of all, I would like to cite Manfred Kühn in full - this is not entirely "legal" from a purely formal-legal pov, but I'm absolutely sure that this (Kant) philosophy university professor I hold in deep respect would not be opposed to be cited here in this form, since he's fond of your word processor and hence would certainly like it to be "marketed" in the very best way it could.

From his blog (which is very insteresting in all possible respect for everybody who's interested in word processing and text creation (be it academic, literary or "just" "creating manuals, text books, whatever"):

http://takingnotenow.blog...antis.html

"Tuesday, March 1, 2011
Atlantis
Since someone asked, Atlantis is a word processor which offers most of the standard features, but it is not bloated. If you need Tables or revision control, it is not for you. On the other hand, it offers "Save as eBook" which converts converts any document to the eBook format. Atlantis also saves to doc and docx. And it does outlining, styles, footnotes and endnotes. It also handles different languages well. In other words, Atlantis does everything I want out of a word processor.

Atlantis can be installed on a USB drive as a portable application.

Another plus: no ribbon to take usable space!

The standard registration fee is $35, i.e. a fraction of what you have to pay for the behemoth [he's speaking of MS Word here]. You can try before you buy.

I recommend it highly!"

Now:

- I am very pleased I can "purify" the layout, meaning, I can hide all those ugly (= ugly everywhere, in any program) toolbars, rulers and such.

- So many people have asked for tables, even years ago; let's face it, it's probably right what the professor says, if you really need tables, Atlantis probably isn't for you: Accepted; the same would go for pics and formulas (for the time being)

- Buyers should know that Atlantis, bought here or full-price, for the time being at least is always "life license"; in the past, I've bought other programs even after this very generous licensing detail was withheld; don't replicate my error there, but buy Atlantis here and now while you'll get your "lifetime" thing

- I literally hate MS Word (which I own) for being bloatware, but let's not fool ourselves: It's in such bloatware that "everybbdy" then finds his special wishes fulfilled if he's chancy, whilst in "simple, neat" offerings, this is not usually the case. This being said:

- Some people say Atlantis is able to smoothly handle documents with a large 3-digit page number, and even with more than 1,000 pages

- There seems to be one of the very best (and perhaps the very best, outright) outlining features of all text processors available today

- Now combine these two features, and you'll see that a very important, third, feature is missing from Atlantis: Ace outlining, AND ace ability to process very large documents - where's the cross- linking function that would be able to link (text or header) paragraphs to other paragraphs, elsewhere in that same document? For me, it seems to be perfectly logical to add such functionality, since it's exactly that function (non-literary) writers will crave for when writing, and the more extended their writings become (in "page count"), the more such cross-linking within such texts become absolutely necessary

- Here, don't fall into the trap some 2-pane outliner developers fell into: It's not sufficient that those cross-links are functional within the electronic text body: They will have to survive into the publishing stage. I.e. in Atlantis, there should be made available special links that will jump to other paragraphs (and there should be a function to jump back), AND those links should be in a form that then, afterwards, allows for replacing the link encoding with any necessary mark-up codes the dtp application in question (InDesign, but others, too) would need to process those cross-links on their turn

- Also, there should be some functionality that does this, with "live" numbering of paragraphs (as you know, many legal (and other) textbooks refer from "margin number 786" to "margin number 284", and such cross-links should survive any writing / editing (i.e. additions of paragraphs / "margins", deletions of such, and moves of such, and of course, by any number, i.e. if the author moves paragraphs 178 to 297 after paragraph 34 or paragraph 945, all those cross-links should remain perfectly functional

- I know I'm asking for something really elaborate here, but in view of the above, you're safe to expect to see your sales roare tenfold: Any scholar, worldwide (and not needing formulas, hence the utility to work about that, too), will happily switch to Atlantis then

- Ok, so much for mid-term wishes

- For the time being, in my trial, I missed a very useful feature that would be very easy to implement: Do I have your word you'll implement it rather soon? There is no keyboard shortcut for "apply the style heading 1/2/3/4" (and I think that will do, or do even "heading 5/6/7" - I'd be perfectly happy with 1/2/3) to the selected piece of text; I know I can assign styles by double-clicking within the styles list, but that's very cumbersome, as well as clicking on the dedicated symbol on the bottom of that list (to be displayed within the F6 "control board" - but that symbol is a little bit "illogical" if I dare say since whenever you click on it, it will NOT assign, to your selection, the style you will previously have selected within the styles list above, but that very styles list selection will have been reverted to the CURRENT style of the text selection in question, which renders that special symbol totally inefficient:

- There should be a symbol - and a kb shortkey to it!!! - that will apply, to any selection, THAT selected style within the styles list that you'd previously selected there... and without that style selection reverting to CURRENT style of your text selection, i.e. you would have to differenciate these: For one, ok, within the style list, always show the CURRENT style, BUT have an additional function/command/symbol/AND SHORTCUT applying the "previously assigned style"

- I also publish this comment on Atlantis in the outlinersoftware.com forum where I regularly publish my thinkings on text sw and on file management, before consolidating it all within my own, taxonomied web page:

http://www.outlinersoftwa...tis-review

- You can reach me by email, and I'd be happy to "give a conceptional hand" in your implementing the above, or any other elaborate, "smart" functionality

- I appreciate this site doesn't censor me if I'm critical of sw (in spite of the fact that my remarks then will certainly not push sales of the respective offering then), so I'm happy to encourage fellow "bitsters" to buy Atlantis, even in its current shape: At 16 bucks for a "lifetime", it's an absolute steal, and if Taras listens to my advice, this will soon become the very best text processor out there there is, even including those that are sold in the high 3-digit bucks range (and you will've got it for 16 dollars...)

Taras Push Peter,

There is no keyboard shortcut for "apply the style heading 1/2/3/4"

You can assign a hot key to any style in a document. Choose the "Format | Style..." menu command, click the desired style, then click the "Modify..." button. Click in the "Hot key" box, and press a hot key that you would like to associate with this style.

Sorry, but I cannot say when Atlantis Word Processor will support cross references.

I honestly did not expect a date, I only wondered what "not too distant future" meant to you. It would help users to understand your thinking on this potential in the program.

Thank you

peter schleifer I've done real-life trial with Atlantis in the meanwhile.

- Of course, shortkeys can be assigned to styles, it's done in "Format-Styles" - then select the style - then "Modify" - then "Hotkey". Sorry, my fault.

- Another potentially very helpful feature is "Multiple Selection" (Help file: "Editing Documents - Multiple Selection"); years ago, I encountered a Mac text processor which did that, but since I don't own a Mac, I had thought I had to live without that feature forever, and here it is: Splendid!

- Not only there is the above-mentioned outlining function, but also there is an INCREDIBLE POWERFUL paragraph NUMBERING function. It's rather complicated since it offers almost everything you never even thought of, and it's a little bit hidden; help file: "Formatting Documents - Bulleted & Numbered Lists" (! Here, you could assume it's the usual little lists functionality, oh no!) - then "Fundamentals", etc., and especially, "Style-Controlled Lists" - as said, it's incredible powerful, and it's worthwile to extensively play around some 2 hours with it.

And there is a "trick" to it which is not obvious but something worthwile mentioning. As above, "Format - Style" - choose the style and "Modify". Then, go to the "List" button of the "Edit Style" dialog which will appear, and there, default is "Level 1" - so you don't see this splendid feature. But change the selection to "Level 2" or below, and then an additional checkbox is displayed: "Restart after higher level".

Now this is set "on" by default, but the trick is to define another not-headings paragraph style as numbered here, let's say in the way (1), (2), etc., let's say on "level 6" or so, as "special numbered", or the other round, if you do legal papers, "format" your "Normal" = regular paragraph style this way, and have another one, "NN" for "not numbered", for regular text which is NOT to be numbered by paragraphs (add additional blocks of text to existing paragraphs (and which should not be numbered on their own, by separating them by shift-enter instead of enter) - again, the "Restart after higher level", here, exceptionally (this will be your only style where you do this), must be UN-checked.

The result, if you also "format" 3 or 4 levels of headings correctly (and every which way you choose), will be texts that go as follows (and you can indent, etc. as you like):

I - Header 1
A - Header level 2
1 - Another one, level 3
(1) a text paragraph
(a) Header level 4
(...)
(24) text paragraph (and choose "level 5 (or further down for them! because this way, their text begin will appear within the outline!!!)
(25) another text paragraph
II - Another header level 1
A - Level 2, again
1 - And level 3 again
(26) another text paragraph

and so on

University students are not allowed to do this, they must cite "(as seen in I - A - (1) - (a) (3))", but everybody else will simply refer as "(see (24))", and I don't have to tell (European) people in the legal professions (in the U.S., very strict other rules apply) how useful this "flow numbering" is - in Germany, they do whole books this style, with 1,600 such paragraphs, and then, even, an index referring to these, notwithstanding the proper "outline" of headers overlayed to this paragraph-instead-of-pages setup.

- So you see here that the foundations are very well there, this program has tremendous potential. And now for cross-referencing. I've found both the "Viewing Documents - Bookmark" and "Editing Documents - Hyperlinks" help file entries, but I don't see how we could do a live cross-reference with them, either in the style of "(See I - A - (1) - (a) (3))" or in the style of "(see (24))", let alone these references being then updated when we move paragraphs or whole sections, and updating is even necessary whenever we then add a new paragraph between the link target and the link pointer.

As I see it, Atlantis has everything that's needed for legal documents, in a much smoother application than that monstruous MS Word, but almost any lawyer today uses MS Word, since there (s)he gets the necessary cross-referencing. I personally think Atlantis, spiced-up with that function, would make an entry in law offices (and many, many offices in large corporations) like thunder.

It's the core functionality that will make explode Atlantis' sales.

(I know that live tables (You can always insert tables as images, and yes, I'm very aware that's not the same thing.) are quite important, but from a marketing pov, an application should build up on its real strengths, especially when such additional work there will open up a tremendously big market.)

Ron I have used this word processor for years (Almost from the beginning) and find it to be a fine product. While it doesn't do everything as people have mentioned it is very good at what it does. I own MS Word and several other word processing programs but I always seem to end up using Atlantis most of the time. And you certainly cannot find a better price for a product which doesn't bleed you dry every year for their "must have" updates. ...........Just my opinion.

Preston Mitchell Thank you, Atlantis, for developing a 5-Star Alternative to MSFT Word AND ALL OTHER Word Processors!
Atlantis is my favorite office software...so I'd like to make a shameless pitch based on several years of happy user experience.
Atlantis is like a sleek fast sports car in comparison to the big bloated Cadillac called Word. However, Atlantis is still very rich in features. A casual user will find what he or she needs to type a nice letter. But a professional writer or blogger is provided with all the necessary tools to effectively create stylish content.
I could prattle on and on touting Atlantis...but the bottom line is simply this: I love Atlantis. Try the free trial before buying Atlantis. You will end up loving Atlantis too.

Susanne OK, so I just tested my copy of Atlantis and it boots up just about instantaneously -- in about a second or even a little under (it's too fast to accurately measure). That's on my old workhorse, Windows XP, and 7. I'm a professional writer and I switched to Atlantis when Microsoft messed up Word once too often for my patience level, and I've never regretted it. Powerful word processor, fully configurable to fit your requirements & style of working & the Atlantis team is johnny on the spot if you have a question or problem. And no, I'm not working for Atlantis or getting paid by them -- I'm just a happy customer (I paid full price for my copy) who loves the product & wants to support it.

Stefan Mueller Wasted money. Development stopped a long time ago. Don't be fooled by those recent updates, they're minor cosmetic changes only, almost as if lined up for this promotion. The last update before Dec 2014 was in Dec 2013. Dig deeper to see what kind of improvement took them one year (!!) to accomplish.

The real issues never get addressed. Most of it you won't notice until much later, that's the tricky thing. Some examples:

Numbered lists fail to reset, you cannot start over at 1. They will continue counting up, even beyond headings and regular paragraphs, from top_1 to bottom_999. This is considered a feature, btw, not something that needs improvement.

As a workaround you can start a new formatting style altogether, which gets very messy after a few lists. Not to mention that this ruins your chances for re-formatting your lists easily - the whole idea of styles, after all.

Portable installation may or may not work. 8 times out of 10 it let me down. It saved documents, templates, clips and other confidential data to the foreign hard drive instead of keeping it on my removable drive. Recreates the very same folder structure on the host machine where it saves your changes, w/o giving you any hint about it. Very devious, everything seems fine, until some time later, when you discover the loss.

Atlantis support doesn't care. Snippy replies and not the faintest ambition to fix it. "We never said it would run on removable drives plugged into a USB hub, we never said it would work on protected media" in that vein, literally. Well, all other portable software I own, dozens of programs, have been running smoothly on the very same media, for many years.

Plenty of other gripes. The overall tenor always the same - it seems like a good feature at first, until you discover the sloppy implementation. Decimal tabs not working correctly, sidebars not usable on hi resolution screens becaus you cannot adjust the font size ....

A software destined to go under like it's namesake. Until then, they squeeze this lemon for every buck they can still get out of it.

Mister User Another opinion... I like Atlantis. I have been using it for approximately 1½ years. I have an old version of Word (97), that I still use for some tasks, such as mail merge, but for every day Word processing tasks, I prefer Atlantis. There are many features that have been implemented with Atlantis that Word, (at least my version), is lacking. The one issue I have with Atlantis—there is not a way to insert a line into your doc, this does bother me. But other than that, it is my every day word processing app and I'm very happy with it. I am pressed for time this morning, so I don't have time to list all the virtues of Atlantis, but imho, it is a very good product that I would recommend for most users. I'm not certain, but I believe they have trial version you can try first. But you can't really go very wrong with paying $16 for this. Let's put it this way, if for some reason it disappeared from my machine, I would buy it here today with no reservation.

Compared to other word processing programs I've tried, Atlantis is my favorite.

I purchased a Softmaker license - based partly upon positive reviews here. I tried to like it. I removed it. My personal experience doesn't mean Softmaker is a poor program.

It allows exports to PDF but not to Ebook. Shouldn't be a problem, though, plenty of ebook converter tools out there.
Writers in general, are better off with a dedicated writing tool, imo. Like Scrivener for instance.

The only thing that kept me from buying NotePro was an offer by Ashampoo to get their whole Office suite for 5 bucks. Including the spreadsheet and the presentation software. Still happy with it, it's got all the usual ingredients, tables too, and it runs portable - unconditionally.

Kelly Hamblin I've been using Atlantis for at least 10 years and love it. It has loads of my favorite thing: options. I can even set it to use any combination of colors that I want. In all this time, I've never had to pay for another license. All upgrades have been free, and I can install it on one of my other computers. I'm not sure, maybe I can install it on both of my other computers.

As for development, I often don't understand what it is that people want. Too many applications that I once liked, "develop" into something I don't like. One example of that is the "ribbon" interface. Another is using that ugly Windows 8 blue that shows up in so many "new" applications, "upgrades", and websites. If MS has done it, well, it must be followed.

When I've asked for help on the Atlantis forum, I've always gotten an answer. I haven't always liked the answer, but at least I got one, which is more than I can say for many another company.

For pity's sakes, people. It is a wordprocessor. It is very reasonably priced wordprocessor, and today is only a sneeze more than free. It is fast, it is light, it is solid, and dependable. It is not and was never intended to be — thank the gods for small favors — a Word Clone.

My one and only complaint is that it doesn't do tables. It never has. I doubt it ever will. When I need table, I switch to another word processor.

I also have a license for Softmaker Office. I bought it because it is the best I could find with a spreadsheet that can really, without any trouble at all, be used as a substitute for Excel. As for their wordprocessor, I liked my older Ashampoo version better. I despise all the HTML that is being used in MS Office and its copycats. .RTF is fast, clean, and can be opened by almost any wordprocessor, even (spit, spit) Word.

Stefan Mueller Good points, Kelly
I am with you on ribbons and eye candy. It's not what I meant by "development", though.

Bugfixes - that's more like it, improvements that make features useable. Features that may be unimportant to you, but the mere fact that they are advertised, makes them liable for people like me counting on them.

Tab alignment becomes important if you don't have tables. It does not work correctly for 90% of the languages they proudly present on their download section. Not to mention that you won't have hyphenation for them.

Dependable? Not after you tried out reproducable issues I could present. But it's beside the point, you're happy with it, just as obviously as I was unhappy with it. Wasted too much time on it, trying desperately to get it to work.

Reasonably priced is no excuse IMO, for having to put up with problems that will never get fixed. The replies I got to hear from their support, however, were downright "cheap".

I use Jarte free as a lightweight word processor, to replace WordPad. Could Atlantis be used to replace WordPad for simple documents?

I also have OpenOffice (Apache), but I only use it to open files from other people that can't be opened by WordPro.

Steven Aves Software that we use every day is a personal preference type of thing. Working with words on a daily basis puts you in front of some kind of text manipulator and manager such as Lotus Word Pro, MS Word, Atlantis, Libre Write, Notetab, Abiword, Word Perfect, and more.

Everyone has different needs, and those needs change over the years. In my case, I started out with Microsoft Works, then Ami Pro (the predecessor to Word Pro), Lotus Word Pro for years, Open Office, Libre Office, and now even have M.S. Word (horrors!). I discovered Atlantis somewhere between OO and Libre.

Oh, I still use Lotus Word Pro since my best templates are still in that format. I have not installed W.P. on my Windows 10 Surface machine yet. I will try someday. Oh, I have a desktop that is my “real” work machine.

Atlantis is my “go to” word processor when working with “words.” I like the ease of changing styles, the simplicity of using different templates, the way it handles pasting text into it, the keyboard shortcuts are right up my alley.

Sure, there’s shortcomings. All of the ones I’ve used have shortcomings. For $16 here on Bitsdujour AND with an upgrade fee when the new version comes out I think it’s a steal.

If you work with documents that are primarily words (no tables and minimal images), give Atlantis a try.

Laurie Nelson I've used a lot of editors and word processors in the last 45 plus years, both for work and for personal use. [I'm a retired software tech writer.] When this was offered before, I decided to stick with my old favorites, Lotus WordPro and Jarte. But now that Atlantis has tables and a lot of other great features (including column select), I tried it for a short time yesterday. A half hour was all I needed to sell me.

The one thing I don't like is that the Help file is online. I know it's easier for developers to update, but I don't like having to go online for it. Still I have to say that the Help file is also outstanding, in spite of some of the so-so writing.

Thanks, BDJ and Atlantis, for this offer.

_*_ Since Atlantis put Tables into the software it is a much better word processor.
In its current form it will rival any word processor available. Of course I have not used MS Word for nearly a decade so, I do not know about that. But I can say at least Atlantis is not a MS product.

Mappi75 Thanks for the offer!

Bought it because it has very good & fair license (for all family members and all pc's).

I'am not 100% sure if i really need the software because i use MS Word 2013 and Softmaker TextMaker (Office) 2018.

But with a fair license and a fair deal i gave you the money :)

One wish i have:

you offer downloads for german spelling.

Softmaker TextMaker has one of the best word correction on the market.
Maybe you can improve it here a little more (it seems that not all german words are recognized).

William Jefferson User I like atlantis but the recent changes to th UI frm versin 2 to version 3 make it unusable.

Previous versions had an intuitive low profile and easy toolbar, the new version is huge containing tools the user may nt need and requiring adjusting the toolbar to perform functions makes it look like MS Word and is just as difficult.

If the authors made skin toolbar interface that users could customize I would upgrade in a heartbeat, but the new one is a "NO GO" on an upgrade.

Authors, bring back the old interface with the new tools and I will upgrade!

Sara User @prospects of Atlantis. I had bought Atlantis some years ago, also considering that according to the web, updates had been always free, before.

Then, just months after my purchase, I got the proposal of a paid update: I wasn't happy at all, but I acknowledge that with endlessly providing free updates, developer can NOT survive, and it seems that Atlantis' update policy remains more than "reasonable", I just bought at the very worst moment.

I had other problems with Atlantis (I must add that I own MS Word, too, so I had bought Atlantis for it being something "lightweight" instead, whilst having an outlining function altogether, as Word has, too):

For one, its paragraph formatting functionality WAS (ie imperfect!) abysmal: There was a hierarchy of formats, but to get along with it, and to set up such a consistent hierarchy, it took me HOURS, and then, amendments/just-changes to some of the elements... oh, my!

These problems are more or less RESOLVED, I'm happy to relate, since some months ago, I got some free (non-updatable, of course) version of Atlantis, somewhere, which I downloaded and installed, and which I tried for that paragraph formats' hierarchy, and indeed, it's all MUCH easier (while not being perfect either) now!

I'd had another problem, with the outlining feature, and in this respect, nothing seems to have been amended, but I could be partly wrong.

I should say that I've been using 2-pane outliners for the last 25 years or so, instead of using "text processors", and that just in rare, multi-page output, circumstances, I ever have used Word or any other "text processor", like Atlantis, then, for output only, so trying to elaborate multi-page documents, for output, in Atlantis, had been a disappointment for me at the time, and then with that new, free, non-updatable version, too; there's certainly room (or do you call it space in English?) for amending the outlining function in Atlantis.

Also, it's simply not true that you'd need to buy MS Works full-price, there's plenty of genuine but split-up corporate MS Office versions available at "reasonable" prices, but it's also true that MS Word's outlining function is quite what you'd call "sub-standard", those standards being set be genuine 2-pane outliners indeed.

Thus, I urge dear Taras to amend that his Atlantis' outlining function, in order to become it more immediately available and more easily "interactionable", and Atlantis would be something really, really useful, in direct comparison with MS Word and as long as you don't need in-text links, since there, unfortunately but understandably, Atlantis didn't have any amendmends during these last years: Yes, links from one paragraph to some other aren't easy to program, and if you need them, MS Word will prove mandatory to you, currently...

My point being: Whilst I use some dedicated 2-pane outliner for my stuff, and then MS Word for multi-page "exports", Atlantis should certainly NOT "play" with its "lesser price" but should amend some core functionality which would put MS Word to a shame: The latter's text link functionality being a real "nightmare" (and its outlining functionality not being much better), but currently, it's the only thing you'll have "got", in that respect, and if Taras changes that, his Atlantis could become a real hit, all the more so with its (currently) decent pricing!

Taras Push Thanks for the detailed comment. But I am not sure that understand what is wrong with the outline feature of Atlantis Word Processor. Are you familiar with the "Headings" panel of the Atlantis Control Board:
http://www.atlantiswordpr...adings.htm

The Atlantis Word Processor Team - Jul 14 2018 at 12:22am Copy Link

0

Sara User No, there's certainly nothing wrong with it, it's just not smooth enough for my standards (which, as said, are biased by the regular use of dedicated 2-pane outliners). It's been quite a time I tried to make it work for me, then I ceased to use Atlantis for that reason (as said/implied, I had already succeeded in building up a formatting hierarchy, in spite of the - then, and now overcome - problems with that): to much fuss, I "need" it neat'n'quick. Don't know how it really works currently, but my list would be:

- 1-key toggle between text and tree/list

- arrows up/down in tree/list for navigation, left/right for collapsing/expanding

- NOT any ("titling" or other) format listed, or at the very least not automatically displayed, in that tree/list since then it would be impossible to have only the "newpage" (perhaps also including "higher-up title" entries, too, without them being new page, i.e. just "level 1" or levels 1 and 2, or best: by option: "outline only displays levels down to: 1/2/3..." by drop-down menu) entries all displayed there without scrolling.

By "display" I mean "expanded" in case: I wouldn't really want deeper-down formats being listed at all, but you could make them "automatically collapsed" instead, for users who may want them to be displayed for their means.

The only really important thing being here that their display is only optional, so that the higher-up levels (1 or 1 and 2 (or more, in case, by option) are visible: When you also list all the deeper-down formats, the list (or very flat tree) I'm after here will too much be mixed up with (for me) perfectly unnecessary information, unnecessary for quick navigation that is, hence the need then to scroll in order to see level 1/2 entries which are buried in the list.

If I remember well, that forced display of any format was the reason I left Atlantis, but I could be wrong. Of course, if you maintain it all within the list but collapse all those deeper-down levels by default (and this means that they stay collapsed = invisible whenever the user adds new paragraphs/elements of those levels), just displaying them by option and/or by individual expanding (of that sub-tree in question by right-arrow within the tree), that would be the ideal solution, but which would imply lots of coding.

- automatic appearance (in the tree) of any such newly-created "higher-up levelled" (!) item upon its creation (in the content/text pane), but, as said, "quiet", non-visible appearance, in case, in the tree, of deeper-down newly-created elements of any sort

- of course, it's a very useful thing to have special lists, e.g. for tables and/or for illustrations, together, again, only with the higher-up titles in-between those, so that the user will have a special list of all tables for example, together with an indication in which chapters / subchapters those are, but certainly not within a mix of anything else

- ideally, creation of new elements even from within the tree (with the usual shortkeys for the elements in question, and together with inline typing of the name in question then), i.e. avoiding the forth-and-back between tree and text-pane whenever the user does some sort "brainstorming" for chapters, subchapters, paraph titles, navigation within the tree for new elements being so much faster than within the text or by that forth-and-back then...

EDIT:

From what I see and understand in your link, it seems the current state is the one I remember more or less; in your example screenshot you simply used a text not having "title" levels deeper down than 1 = "Chapter", so that your tree automatically becomes a list, but (in my memory at least, I may be mistaken) it quickly became a nightmare once I tried to use lots of deeper-down "title" (ie not body text) formats: they all appeared in the tree/list and, for me, mixed it all up.

Also - I'm not sure if that is available (or even was already in that time) -, I'd want to see higher-up title formats not "somewhere on my screen", but neatly scrolled up (automatically and before real display) to the top of the screen, i.e. at least for the 3 highest-up title formats the user should read the title line as line 1 of the visible screen text (within the text pane) when navigating within the tree.

EDIT 2:

It seems to be a little bit more complicated even, but nethertheless, it does not seem a "flat tree", just showing the higher-up levels (or the highest-up level only), is readily available and then automatically maintained.

Also, your screenshots make me remember that I had problems with format assignments, and/or with the fact that to assign them easily (NO shortkeys at the time? But certainly now there are?), I needed (?) the command pane, in order to click the format with the mouse there... whilst I needed that pane for the navigation though!

That "necessary" (?) toggling of the functionality of that pane (which, if I remember well, wasn't really easy either) drove me away from Atlantis, too; as said, at the time; this, too, may be organized in a much better way now, and it's also possible that at a time, I simply didn't see how to do things easier for me with Atlantis, than described here.

Taras Push Sara User, you can right-click the Headings panel of the Control Panel of Atlantis, and use the "Show Levels" menu to choose how many heading levels should be displayed.

The Atlantis Word Processor Team - Jul 14 2018 at 5:11am Copy Link

0

Sara User That would be the solution indeed (of course, this "so many levels to be displayed" setting would be stable then, i.e. include future item creations); at the time, I must have overlooked that already, or you really did it very well since!

Please see my edits, incl. just some minutes ago. (As said, it's been some time now but I really had multiple problems then.)

Again, nothing wrong with anything, just too much fuss for getting at it all. Of course, if there are shortkeys for formats, and once you will have memorized those levels in your individual use case (or have some notes sheet for them), no need for the format pane anymore, so you can leave it for navigational purposes all the time.

EDIT:

In order to better explain why that "scroll it up into line 1 of the screen's text field" functionality would be of real interest. You have some longer text with many chapters. You are at some "revisionary" stage now, i.e. the text is there, but you do lots of checkings, add-ons, etc.

You quickly go thru the text, not in its entirety any time, but just in order to get a quick overview. In such a scenario, it's simply awful to have those chapter beginnings at any given, aleatoric place on the screen; on the contrary, you would like to be able to read, without any further fuss, a maximum of your text without any scrolling, and since it's not the end of the previous chapter but the beginning of the chapter in question which interests you, you would so much like to have it begin on line 1; technically, that's easy to implement, and it would also be of high benefit for some levels beneath level 1, just not for the deeper-down levels indeed, so either you could implement this functionality for the levels 1 to 3 or 4 only, or have a navigation setting "title displayed as screen textline 1: for down to level...", 0 being "leave it all alone (ie do no automatic scrolling for better visualisation) for any level".

I have used some version of this word processor since its beginning. I have one complaint. I loved the detailed Help file that used to come with the application. Now if I need to look something up, I have to fire up a browser. To me, that is a huge inconvenience, and because of that, for more complicated processes I use another word processor.

Amit Atlantis is a good word processor.

But there are two features in a word processor that will make it absolutely top notch -
1. Syntax coloring as is in every text editor - as notepad++ and most all. Really have looked for syntax coloring in a word proc. but havent found it in anyone.
Does anyone know of a word proc. with syntax coloring doable in it? Is it there in msoffice any version even?

2. Changing of document background to multiple things - like gradients and textures, patterns and so. Gradients with many inbuilt ones are already there in wps writer of kingsoft. It makes the documents look fantastic.

Can we have both these features in any future version of atlantis? Syntax coloring and gradient backgrounds are the big deal.

Absolutely love how the menu bar can be shown only with mouseover. The only fault I can see with this program so far is that it does not save to PDF format, other than using the print function.

1. Atlantis Word Processor is not a plain text editor and of course not a programmer's editor. It is meant primarily for dealing with formatted MS Word documents.

2. Currently Atlantis Word Processor does not support the page background property (either solid or gradient) in MS Word documents. You can change however the onscreen-only page background color for all documents in Atlantis (the "Tools | Options..." menu command, the "Colors" tab).

Looking at your release history, there seemed to hardly be any 2.x versions. Same for 3.0.x and 3.1.x, but now all of a sudden we have four-level version numbers (3.2.x.x)!
Obviously your version numbering is your prerogative, but it would be nice to have at least a glimmer—an approximation—of an idea what may be included in our purchase, update-wise. If possible, please. Thank you!

Steven Avery Atlantis is a fantastic, smooth, program.

I will have to write you about upgrade or getting the sale, my last upgrade was Feb, 2017 and may be only v. 2. Not sure which is better price, upgrade or Bits purchase.

Oh, I see this type of note:

"Important note: If you are a registered user of Atlantis Word Processor version 2.x (and higher), you can upgrade to version 3.1 for free."

Which should mean that I can upgrade for free now, and just do the next upgrade in the 4.s

Free upgrade worked fine, including the prompt to return to normal, non-ribbon bar.

Robert Bull I mostly use plain-text editors, but lately I've been using Atlantis more. Despite the enormous toolbar, I find it more friendly / less intimidating than most competitors. I wish help were available as a .CHM, rather than just online, because of those occasions when I don't have a good Internet connection. But it seems to work well, as far as I've got, and its full price is very reasonable, making the Bits discount compelling.

Dan User I have enjoyed using Atlantis for many years. It is easy to use, has very good documentation, and feels much lighter and faster than bigger word processors like Word. But it can produce compatible doc, docx formats. If looking for an alternative to Word it has all that you need for most everyone. Main practical differences are in the areas of features for some very very long documents and Word's outline features.

Jim Thompson Hands down, this is the best word processor I have ever used. As a professional journalist, I needed something that is fast, easy to use and does not have a lot of menus getting in the way of my writing. Atlantis is number one in all categories. I have been a customer since the software was first launched and it only gets better. At the regular price, it is a steal. At a discount of more than 50%, it is unbelievable. If you are serious about writing, Atlantis should be in your toolbox.

Visitor-2014 I agree with the other posters: a very good word processor. Just a small suggestion for improvement:

When performing the search for a text (via Find/Replace in the Control Board) the (first) search result appears in the editor window
- either in the middle of the editor window (when clicking on the search result in the list with the results of the Control Board)
- or more or less on the bottom of the editor window (when pressing "Enter" immediately after typing the text in the field "Find what" of the Control Board).

Both (especially the second situation) is not very comfortable as you will always respectively often have to scroll down so that you can continue to read what is written in the lines under the text (word) that you were looking for.

So would it be possible that the search result appears more or less *on top* in the editor window (just as it happens when following a hyperlink within a document)?

Thanks in advance for considering such a modification.

I do use Libre office to open my *.lwp documents but there is still nothing I can find to compare with Word Pro.I'd be more than willing to pay a premium price for a premium WP. Cheers, Bob

Mr Dave Recommended! I don't do so much word processing anymore, but when I did Atlantis always gave the best balance of power, ease of use and price. I grew tired of MS Word often moving things around whenever I opened a file, though its mail merge is powerful if you can figure it out. LibreOffice is still quite buggy after years, I only use it for the most basic tasks (and mostly the spreadsheet). Atlantis seems better at printing what it shows on the screen. Atlantis works the way I expect it will and does almost everything I could want.

Al Atlantis is IMO the best word processor I’ve encountered ever for personal use and I’ll tell you why. First of all, I assure you that I have no interest at all other than as most satisfied user for so many years, wanting to share in support of its popularity and wanting to assure that it will stay around and be maintained no matter how the Windows OS may change over future years. Also, it would be nice to see it developed for Linux and Apple OS’s, especially Linux.

Atlantis Word Processor is an amazing program and value; highly featured, widely functional, efficient, well thought-out and crafted, and so customizable too. It all adds up to being exceptional value, without compromise. It even has the best implementation I've seen of menu listing of open documents, directly on the interface menu bar and/or via native tabbed docs, without needing a separately purchased add-ins, as required by MS Word to have tabbed docs.

Spending just a little time taking a detailed look at all that Atlantis offers and setting up the interface to exactly how one wants it is time well spent, and the program will be a pleasure to use.

I first purchased Atlantis in 2006, and have seen it develop and keep pace since then. Even though I have an existing license, which allows for family use, I’ve purchasing another an additional one at a recent BitsDuJour offer just to have for any additional use / needs or to give to somebody else, even if just to support this exceptional program.

Functionally and feature-wise, Atlantis is essentially quite up there on par with MS Word -- but does not incorporate VBA or use of macros, at least not yet (Atlantis has been progressively developing at least since 2006 when I first purchased it). Since then, Atlantis included graphics embedding and wrapping capabilities just like MS Word does. That was a major adjunct that I had been waiting for. So since then, I had ditched use of MS-Word entirely. Note also that Atlantis directly opens, reads, writes, saves to. etc. interchangeably rtf, doc, and docx files, saves as web page and even as ebooks! Amazing. BTW, there’s also a simple registry hack to set the default to doc or docx instead of rtf. Why? I did this because rtf’s are inherently heavier (larger) size on disk. Content and format wise, the documents are identical.

In addition, Atlantis contains even more and facile hierarchical outlining functionality whereby paragraph and headings can be so easily arranged via drag drop in whatever order and at levels as desired via its toggling Control Board and saved as the document, or as a Web page or eBook. One other novel mention of appreciation in of how simple it is in Atlantis to remove text from table, as may come in when copy/pasting from an email or web page. Just a two key press process!

Performance-wise, Atlantis is light-weight, can run portable and on a flash stick, and its operations are fast. Its support is stellar -- very efficient, quick, responsive, and accurate. Pricing is relatively low for such a featured, functional, and actively developed and supported program.

Note also, but importantly, that 1) This program IS FREE FROM Draconian hardware footprint-based restrictive, limiting, conditional and dependent DRM over-reach schemes and 2) It IS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION scheme. One only would need to pay for any major version upgrade that one may desire or need. Otherwise, one’s use of the purchased version is unrestricted, and all upgrades within the major version purchased are free and install seamlessly and without need for user intervention.

I sincerely feel that quality software such as Atlantis Word Processor, that is exceptionally low priced, that can run portable, is free from the aforementioned restrictions, not subscription based and is among the best values out there, deserving patronage and supportive market share and prominence. I'm happy to see that it has a large user base, active development and support, an active forum, lots of ancillary help info, templates, etc.

Just buy it! And at this BDJ offer, it’s a no-brainer to do so!

John User I used to Microsoft Word Pad, then went to Jarte when MS started hiding it. Then found Atlantis when I got serious about wanting Spell Checking.

I have no problem working with RTF. You are given the option of the format to use when you do your first save for each document. I am still using version 3 but my version seems to default to RTF. I also have the option in settings to save as a supercompact RTF whatever that is.

Atlantis is customizable to the point of hiding everything like Jarte for an unclutter workspace and mind. I have my background set to blue with white letters. I love this program.

I do not feel the need to upgrade but want to fork over some cash to help support the developer.

I have the single license in all my computers as they tend to accumulate so I thank the developer for single user license.

Al Just one simple request to the developer, following this comment:

Atlantis is an amazing word processor, one that IMO is better than MS-Word for the vast majority of people, especially those wanting to bypass the Microsoft installation behemoth and massive other programs in MS-Office not wanted or needed, and that are otherwise available in Libre open source as installing, portable, and even via the PortableApps.com platform. Like Atlantis so much, that over time I purchased 3 licenses for family, and to support the development, and may even send additional contribution as well.

The only thing I cannot understand is why Atlantis defaults to .rtf files, Arial 11. Rtf files are, FAPP, obsolete. And size-wise, they are much larger than their identical saved as .doc or docx files! Furthermore, anyone who may want for whatever reason to use .rtf files can do so Atlantis, or most other word processing software, including Jarte. Atlantis can directly open, read, write and save from or to .rtf transparently and easily. As to massive numbers of .rtf' file that may be had by anyone, they can be easily batch converted back and forth to .rtf. using Atlantis and other utilities as well, if wanted. Nevertheless, either .doc and .docx file are all indistinguishable from equivalent .rtf files, except are much smaller in size and no downside whatsoever.

With a simple registry hack, I re-set my Atlantis defaults to .docx, which works from Right-Click / New / Atlantis Document and from Atlantis File menu / New / Create from Template Time, But the Atlantis File menu / New / drop down choices other than Create from Template do not work for set default templates.

I implore the developer to please fix this, or better, to eliminate or change the entire template and default schema from rtf to .doc and .docx choices, to be set by user via settings.

Al Thank you Taras, but please note that does not work in my current installed Atlanltis version 4.3.1.7

No pick under Menu: File / New pulls up a correct template. the only way I can pull up an edited template is via Menu: File / New / Creat from Template, --OR-- by right-clicking from within a Window desktop or folder context menu and choosing "New", then "Atlantis Document."

What I want to do is open a desired pick from within Atlantis from its Menu: File / New, select the type of template file I want, yet none of the dropdown picts therein open a saved template. Yet none of the drop down picke there open a any template that I have created!

Accodingly, should I backup the registry, delete all Atlantis keys, restart Windows, and re-install Atlantis? Else, and in the absence of anything else to do, I am thinking that this may be a bug. Kindly advise. Thank you.

Al Thank you, Taras, but:…

Even if RTFs will not become obsolete, nevertheless, given the total flexibility of Atlantis to handle both DOCX and RTF equally, and that DOCX file are advantageous over RTF, being substantially smaller in file size on disk, for me and many others, RTF files are, for all practical purposes, obsolete, providing nothing at all over DOC or DOCX de facto standards, except disadvantageous larger footprint files.

And concerning the present Atlantis not providing a user preference for default to file type (DOC, DOCX, RTF, …) the RTF’s get in the way and unduly clutter the process of new file selecting and defaults templates editing. Yet that can be bypassed, so it’s not a major issue.

Since my last send, I’ve isolated the problem, which pertains only to edited template inheritance for DOCX templates. Here’s what I found:

Retrieval of template files New files come up are presented for Atlantis files in three ways:

1) Menu: File / New (and all drop down picks thereunder

2) Menu: File / Document Templates (and all of the Atlantis template files found therein in C:\Users\(Use Name) \Documents\Atlantis\Templates)

3) From Windows folders via Right-click \ Context Menu: New / Atlantis Document and each of the Atlantis template files links found therein.

#2 and #3 works consistently

#1 works for all pick, EXCEPT FOR DOCX template, of which it fails to carry over the saved template settings

CAN YOU OFFER ANY SOLUTION TO THE #1 METHOD FOR DOCX TEMPLATE RETRIEVAL PROBLEM?

Thereafter, I will explore getting rid of the RTF clutter, by registry hacks, unless a safer way to do it is relayed, or consider just waiting to see how this may change in upcoming releases.

Thanks for you patient assistance in this matter.
