Atlantis Word Processor Forum

Privacy? Really? Well, so it is, then.

I will be using LibreOffice Writer from now on. I was already having to use it more and more. The LibreOffice epub export was shitty the last time that I tried it (unlike that of Atlantis, which is great), but I also have Adobe InDesign and Affinity/Canva ...

A group of us here has been repeatedly requesting that this feature be implemented. Not because it's a gimmick, but because it is an essential tool for editing and collaboration in academic work, journalism, and professional writing, for example. We are giving {given?} vague answers, which may ...

All right, great!

If I am following you correctly, the problem is that you do not understand Templates and Styles.

When you change the Normal font in the current file, the change is not supposed to affect other files. It affects only the current file.

If you want a change for subsequent new files, then you have to ...

No problem here. I just want to throw in my "two cents" of advice and commentary.

First, all of that back-and-forth discussion was too much for my poor brain to keep up with. But I did understand the general nature of the problem.

The person asking the question about auto-indent seems to have ...

I would agree with the Admin on this.

Personally, I like the way it looks now, and I really do not see a truly logical connection between the name of a file and the superior or inferior position of an information bar. If anything, it seems better to put that bar at the bottom, because the bar ...

Everything is working fine now, just as in the past. Thanks!

Now I can get back to working on my "how to" article on how to create and use Styles in Atlantis.

I knew I was not crazy.

To be more specific: What happens is that the created Style still exists, now under a new name. You can look at the code for it, and the code is there. You can even apply the Style to any paragraph, and it will work.

But the paragraphs that had the same code, under the old name , revert to the ...

Hello, all ...

I believe that I have discovered a bug in Atlantis (version 5.0.0.3).

I checked this carefully, and I have no recollection of ever seeing this behavior before.

DESCRIPTION
You create a Style, based on Normal, and use it to tag some paragraphs. Everything works fine.
Then you ...

Hi, Wildchild ... I am really glad that you found that you could use .docx successfully to do what you wanted.

I wanted to say a few additional things before we move on.

(1) The RTF format. Big sigh here. It seems to work very well when Atlantis is creating or reading it. Until recently I was ...

Okay, Wildchild ... I just this evening found your message (and its attached document excerpt). I solved your problem in about two minutes of looking things over. I can easily put as many blank lines as I want at the top of your Chapter Title.

However, I do not think that I can explain all of this ...

Thank you.

Atlantis is a wonderful application. I am using it right now to create a couple of stage play templates for people who do not have dedicated script software but are able to create .rtf/.docx files. I decided to do this after I repeatedly saw questions about stage play format on Reddit.

I don't think I can update to version 5 without Track Changes being included. I really need that feature. I love the program, have supported it for years, and I will continue with it, but I won't update yet. Are there any plans at all for Track Changes to be ...

Thank you for the quick reply. I am sending you four attached files for your consideration. However, I have some important insight into the problem now.

It appears that the font (Courier Prime) is somehow the problem. Acting on my intuition, I decided to try creating a PDF with Atlantis , but with ...

NOTE: In my attached graphics in my previous post, I had a table with borders and a table without borders. The trimming occurred in both. I just wanted to clarify this.

Irrelevant Background Information
(but I wanted to include it).
I made a stageplay template for a screenwriting program that I use (Fade In) with the intention of eventually making it available to others and also including it in a book that I am writing. However, the template needed some pages for ...

A comment and a couple of questions slightly related to the original problem.

First, I intend to use the Atlantis "Save as PDF" as much as I can. Atlantis is truly a wonderful application.

My questions:
1. What is so special about Sumatra PDF (which is free) that you want to use it preferentially ...

Okay ... I have been working with this kind of thing (styles, formatting, templates) for about forty years. I know that I could add another blank line at the top of your document, but I believe you when you say that you cannot. There must be something in the code that affects the addition of a blank ...

Oh, I see. I was not familiar with that behavior. Thank you.

Atlantis v. 5.0.0.1

In searching for the straight double quote (decimal 34) I discovered that the search is stopping on the straight single quote (decimal 39).

I did not investigate further.
