Re: Imported RTF from Word not formatting correctly

You're right I have too much trouble following your instructions. I am not very computer savvy. I did, however, find out while playing around that if I save the document as a .docx from Word and then import that into Atlantis all of my spacing stays correct. I have always worked with RTFs before so ...

Re: Imported RTF from Word not formatting correctly

Well, I have tried both methods several times. The first one doesn't work at all and the second one just keeps pulling the Chapter 2 heading out of the document and inserting it after Chapter 1. I'm modifying the Heading 1 style to include that spacing before since that's where I need the line added ...

Re: Imported RTF from Word not formatting correctly

This is the file as it's done in Office 2007 Word showing the spacing of the lines I want at the beginning of each chapter.

This is that same file opened in Atlantis and you can see the difference in the leading lines. As mentioned, Atlantis will not let me use the Enter key to add ...

How do I include a picture in here? I have taken screen shots of both the document open in Office 2007 Word and Atlantis Version 4.4.6.0. And the Word RTF is opened directly by Atlantis. And I have no idea why it won't let me use the enter key in an open document. The P I'm using to try and show ...

Re: Installed Windows font won't show up in Atlantis

I have had this font on the computer for several years and it was installed for all users.

Office 2007 Word and Atlantis are the only word processing programs on the computer.

I can email the font to you.

Imported RTF from Word not formatting correctly

I start all of my RTF documents in Office 2007 Word and then import them to Atlantis to finish the work. The problem is that the documents are not importing with the correct formatting. As an example I format the chapter heading thusly:

^p
^p
Chapter One
^p
^p
^p
Chapter contents

When I import it ...

Re: Installed Windows font won't show up in Atlantis

There is also the fact that the font will show up on the Tool Bar but immediately disappears when I try to modify Heading 1 to match Chapter 10

You can see that it shows on the Tool Bar but not in the Modify Heading 1. I really need this font to show up in your list of installed fonts!

Installed Windows font won't show up in Atlantis

I have a font that is installed on my PC that I use a lot when creating RTFs in Office Word. When I move the RTF over to Atlantis for the final processing before turning it into an epub that font is not there. I am referring to the Cochin RomanItalic Italic font show here as installed in the ...

That process removes almost all of the formatting, including fragments of formatting that I want to keep. I can't seem to get a photo in here to show what I mean.

Lost RTF Formatting

I do a lot of my RTF formatting in Office Word 2007 and then bring the document into Atlantis to finish the formatting and convert to epub. The document I am currently working on loses all text formatting when I bring the document into Atlantis and try to get rid of the Styles I don't need in the ...

Delete several styles at one time

I currently have a group of documents that I'm working on that use the same set of styles. However, every time I open one of those documents in Atlantis is opens with every single style that I have ever used. That means to get a clear listing of the styles I need I have to delete about 150 ...

Applying Styles

If I create a document using what I call Main Style that is great. However, sometimes I need to apply a new style to just one word in a paragraph but can't as Atlantis will apply it to the whole paragraph. It would be great if you could give us the option for selective style applying like Word 2007 ...

Lost RTF first line

I have Atlantis version 4.4.5.3 and normally I love it. I create a lot of my RTFs in Word 2007 as that allows me to change the style of just one word or phrase in a paragraph instead of Atlantis applying a style to the whole paragraph. My problem is that an RTF saved like this:

Indication of Heading

I'm not sure this is titled right but Atlantis (and I don't remember which version I was previously using) used to put a little square next to a heading to indicate it had been applied. I'm now using version 4.3.6.2 and there is just a blank space not when you apply a style or a heading. Is there ...

When I convert documents to ePub with Atlantis they will never be read in Adobe Digital Editions, Kindle, or Nook. I read them on a Samsung tablet using Alkido. So since there's no way to get what I want I'd like to thank you for the help.

Thanks but I'm not trying to create a drop cap. I'm not computer literate enough to understand how the suggested articles recommendations apply to my problem.

Ability to square text to image

A really nice feature to add to Atlantis would be the ability to square text to an image. I know it can be done using the tweak_epub utility but that can be a very long-drawn out process depending on the size of the file I'm working with. When squaring text in other word processors you can adjust ...

I'm using Image files for the Chapter headings on an epub I'm working on. I know how to get the text to square up with the image using the Tweak app but the text is too close to the image as you can see in the attached photo. Is there any way to create a wider gap between the image and the text? I ...

Cani we get line numbers on each page?

Would it be possible to add line numbers to your Word processor? I use line numbers starting on each page to keep track of things.



I know some people who use line numbers that start at the beginning of a document for the same purpose.



So can this ability be added to Atlantis?
