Where Has This Gem Been Hiding

I have tried every freeware and shareware word processor out there, and even went and bought Office 2000, and tried MS Word 6.0 but I must say not one of them compares to Atlantis. I have been using it for 2 days now and I am hooked. I say bravo to the developers and I look forward to registering it and to new additions in the future. Well Done!

You're right. It's a great program. I have MS Office 97 on my computer, but when I need a word processing program, I tend to use Atlantis. If it wasn't for the fact that my wife is more comfortable with Word 97 (she doesn't want to learn another program), I'd take Word off my computer.

Atlantis is great, made with love toward users, unlike the products of a certain corporation that are made with the purpose of ripping them off.

The only thing that really keeps me from discarding my old Word 7.0 is the absence of tables in Atlantis.

Atlantis is indeed a wonderful word-processor - and one of the most wonderful things about it is that it is just that: a word-processor and not an office-suite. So: Please keep it like this! I am sure that the clever developers at Rising Sun Solutions could create a very slick spreadsheet-app and stuff like that. But if you do, dear developers, then please make them standalone apps! It would be very frustrating to have do download yet another "Office Suite" in order to work with Atlantis!

Best of luck to Atlantis

First of all, congratulations on the release of Version 1.5. I love the new features and can now use it for much more of my translation work. I especially like the fact that you can instantly back up your document to another disc with the click of a toolbar button (my worst nightmare is a hard-disk disaster in the middle of editing my documents). I can only imagine the amount of hard work that goes into creating and improving such a complex piece of software, and making sure that it is not full of bugs when released.

Second, about features that Atlantis is still missing. Some people here seem to expect every feature under the sun, right away. I would much rather that you take the time time to add the additional features in such a way that, first, they work flawlessly, and second, that they new features have the sort of options that are most useful to the actual users (for instance, the ability to back up to another drive came from a suggestion posted to the beta testing forum). This probably requires a longer testing period with and more time for feedback from users, but is well worth it, in my opinion. Again, congratulations.

Hmm. This seems to be a reply to my vote for configurable shortcuts. I am an actual user. I can't use a lot of the shortcuts in Atlantis as I am on a Danish keyboard. I would like to be able to use Atlantis with shortcuts - as this is one of the ways it is designed to be used.

What's wrong with that? Some people seem to think that features that are not important to them is not important at all.

Future versions of Atlantis will allow to customize its hot keys.
