Reload docs

What I want is to see all my open documents reappear after a restart. I have Tools. Options/ Reload Open Documents after startup enabled. But all I get is an old set of docs from months ago. It's like a snapshot taken at long intervals instead of current content. (previous query got reply about savi...

Re: Reload open documents

Thank you for reply. Upgrading is always disruptive because of changing things. In the last few months of my PhD I can't afford that. Later. I do keep a copy of the ini file. I don''t think the ini file answers my problem. The issue is that on startup Atlantis doesn't open with the documents I was u...

Reload open documents

I have Tools/ Options/ Reload open documents ticked/ enabled. Win10 Atlantis 4.1 ..... Before I 'upgraded' to the newer Atlantis 4.0 it used to load my most recent open documents on startup. (E.g. when Windows crashes in with an "upgrade".) Now the newer Atlantis loads a set of documents f...

Re: Toolbar has leftover display

I don't recall what the old Atlantis was sorry. I tried the Load my ini file and the new install refused to load it. The new Atlantis seems to be a completely new installation - new icons on desktop, taskbar, no continuity in my settings at al. I also paid full price. Mostly I have managed to get it...

Toolbar has leftover display

Thank you. On top of the upograded Atlantis wrecking my toolbars, losing all my working preferences, including my Clips (ignores my uini file) my careful description of the toolbars problem has been disappeared. After logging in and writing it I pressed Send - but it again asked me to log in. I did ...

Date dialog English American

I discovered the solution before posting but I will post to help others. Atlantis often has an exe error and freezes so I have to close and reopen. I can live with that but I lose a few preferences. One is my Insert date format. This time I cannot reset it. I am stuck with American style M/d/yy I ha...

Large space last third of page

I frequently have a problem with pages forced into large blank areas at the bottom, as much as a third of the page. I use footnotes a lot, up to 10 on a page. The large blanks are forced when I have a lot of footnotes. It happens even when the next paragraph is small and could easily fit in the spac...

yes thank you I want to paste from the Character Map but I cannot find the £ pound sign when I searched. I looked under Georgia and Times - I would prefer not to search every font to find it.

£ sign missing

My small keyboard doesn't have a £ sign. I use copy paste but it's laborious.
Ihave n numberrs on the side so the workaround shown on most sites doesn't work for me.
Surely the £ sign is somewhere under Insert? I cannot find it.

SOLUTION! Book, thesis, long article notes quotes organiser

Many years now searching for method to organise my mass of notes & quotes for my PhD. I tried databases (25) outliners (11) tagging systems (21) wikis (12) ... and also several ways to workaround in Atlantis. The new page Indexing is great but location on a page is not enough for me. I want more...

The problem seems to be that Win10 will not allow me to change the default for .docx as MSWord Viewer. In settings or Control Panel I can access a list of file types. .docx shows MSWord Viewer but clicking it does not allow any alternative. I can open .docx from inside Atlantis. But I cannot downloa...

MSWord yuk

The problem I have is that MSWord is intrusive and attempts to override my Atlantis default. If I download an MSWord file it presents me with MSWord Viewer as default. (I have to have this horrible thing in order to read a small number of files from my professor.). If I accept this to open one file ...

Disappearing footnotes MSWord view

I have worked with this supervisor for 4 years and my work has never failed to show plenty of footnote references. So I was insulted! I replied patiently stating that a) there were 12 fo...

Win10 file association blocks

I am forced to use Windows 10 and of course I hate it. A major problem is it controls my file associations. I set it in Atlantis but Win10 ignores it. I finally managed to get RTF associated. Unfortunatley I have to use MSWord Viewer because my tutor uses it so for a few files she sends me I open th...

Robert - this is one of your PhD researchers who adores Atlantis. My supervisor uses MSWord. She posts back my document with comments in little bubbles down the side. To see them I use MSWord Viewer. This has always worked until now but this time it's not good. I found she had marked all down the si...

Clip Library of quotes & citations

There are specialist softwares but having tested many none are good. They all impose difficulties of their own. Currently I have a lot of study documents e.g...
