Attachments question

Hi there,

Like the rest of the planet I have been using MSOffice for years, but it's coming up to time for an upgrade. Given the MS pricing policy, I have been looking at alternatives.

I am considering Atlantis as an alternative word processor. I really like its features and it seems suitable for my current wish, which to have parallel software on both my PC and my U3 Sandisk Cruzer.

The first obvious question that I have though, is how easy it is to send (and receive) Atlantis documents as attachments to an MSWord/Office user. I will need to do a lot of this and although I am sure you will tell me there are simple procedures for pre- or post-conversion of the given documents, I'm wondering whether any Atlantis documents I have composed, using its novel formats and inserts abilities, will reopen in MSWord without the correct format/inserts, or with the format/inserts all jumbled up?

Answers referring to people's experiences as well as on the 'how to' procedures would be much appreciated.

By the way - is there a trial option where I could download Atlantis and see what happens for myself, as well?

Atlantis documents are ordinary files. You could easily attach them to any email message. Atlantis has the built-in command for sending documents as email attachments (both zipped and non-zipped). But you could easily send them through any email client.

Any Atlantis document (except encrypted documents) can be opened in MS Word. Any document created in Atlantis should be displayed identically in Atlantis and MS Word.

Atlantis Word Processor is a try-before-you-buy product. You can install Atlantis to your computer, and evaluate it for up to 30 days for free. You could download a trial copy of Atlantis from our site – please click the following link:

Dear Admin

Have downloaded, done a speed read through Help, added a French spell checker plug in, then composed a multi-facted document with different fonts, section formats, inserted photo and clip art etc. Sent it to myself then opened with MSWord.

It worked almost perfectly. The photo was excellent. The clip art just a hint less sharp, and the "outline" font I used at one point was definitely inferior when opened in MSWord; but everything else was as I had hoped.

Nice job. I think you have a sale.
