In my DOS days, I used PC-Write and VDE, both of which were lightning fast, like XyWrite (which I never had the pleasure of using). In the Windows world, Atlantis is the closest equivalent to these full-featured, but minimal, programs. Even in this day of multi-gigabyte hard drives, small, lean, and ...

I just downloaded the new beta version, and the style-controlled headers and footers seem to work just fine.

Thanks.

A quick correction.

My chapter titles are governed by the Header 1 style, not Header 2.

I input the Header 1 style as a field in the right-sided headers.

Header behavior

I'm having a problem putting chapter names in headers.

Attached is a document I prepared for fun. It is a booklet reviewing Atlantis and comparing it with LaTeX.

I used different headers for odd and even numbered paragraphs. On the left side, even numbered pages, I put the document title. No ...

Thanks again for all your help.

I'll follow your suggestion to reset my Heading 2 style to "0" It works as a solution, although not the solution I would prefer.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that my "feature request" is impossible. It's the way OpenOffice and LibreOffice do it, so it can be done ...

Robert,

I didn't explain myself very well. I agree that you can't have Chapter 1 follow an unnumbered "textual" Introduction if they are both Heading 1. But, if the "Introduction" is Heading 1 and "Chapter" is Heading 2, as you have put it in your modified document, then the first use of Heading 2 ...

Robert,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I had actually been working with Heading 1, etc. when I noticed the behavior. No matter how I arranged my hierarchy (Heading 1 as Introduction or Heading 1 as Chapter), I kept getting Chapter 2 in my first use of my Chapter heading if there was any lower ...

Strange Outline List Behavior

I've noticed strange behavior on outline lists. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, and I apologize if someone else has already reported this.

If I place a lower level outline item BEFORE the first use of a higher level item, then my first use of the higher level item is is numbered 2, not ...
