I'm disappointed you still remove the hot calculator. Please give me download link to the last version that still had it.
Thanks!
Hot Calculator still badly wanted here
The latest version of Atlantis does have the Calculate command.
If you mean various measurement conversion functions ("liters to gallons", for instance), they are not supported by the Calculate command indeed. Sorry, but a word processor is not a tool for performing such conversions. There are plenty of dedicated tools on the Web.
The old freeware version of Atlantis Word Processor called Atlantis Nova still has the old Hot Calculator feature with the conversion functions.

Ah, thanks. But that really isn't as good for power users as the old functionality where Atlantis inserted the result. I don't think it used the clipboard then, or did it? Anyway the problem is that I have a clipboard manager that collects all clips (I think many do now), so a calculation has to be removed from the manager every time.
And even if Atlantis always used the clipboard before, having to paste manually seems to be an un-necessary extra step. Could we have a preference to do the paste always? I think there was one before.

Inserting the result to the document is not always a preferable option as well as it is not always possible to insert it automatically. For example, where to insert the result to when you have a column of numbers selected as a column block or multiple selection?
As I said in my previous post, the old functionality is available in the old freeware version of Atlantis. There you could find a dedicated "Hot Calculator" tab in the "Tools | Options..." dialog, and a number of other Hot Calculator-related features. They have been removed from the main version of Atlantis years ago.

Sorry, but we cannot revert to the old set of Calculate-related options in Atlantis. Word processor is not a calculator. There are plenty of dedicated tools available for download from the Web.
As I said in my previous message, the old Hot Calculator is available in the freeware Atlantis Nova. You can have both the full and freeware versions of Atlantis on the same PC.

It is very usefull when wordproc. is as well as calculator
I do not know anything about plenty of dedicated tools which work as well as calculator in the same way as atlantis nova.
I use this feature very often. Calculated result is inserted directly into text created with atlantis nova. I do not need insert calculated result into text extra from clipboard. And it is amazing.
I was very disappointed when I found out that advanced Atlantis wordprocessor do not support direct insert of calculated result. And there is no hope that atlantis will support this feature in future.

I don't know anything about this 'hot calculator' you're talking about but, in case it's of use, the new bit of text replacement software I use, PhraseExpress, does many useful things and I've found it to be a great companion to Atlantis.
It also does calulation - perhaps it's worth a look for you?
