Atlantis Word Processor Forum

A comment and a couple of questions slightly related to the original problem.

First, I intend to use the Atlantis "Save as PDF" as much as I can. Atlantis is truly a wonderful application.

My questions:
1. What is so special about Sumatra PDF (which is free) that you want to use it preferentially ...

Okay ... I have been working with this kind of thing (styles, formatting, templates) for about forty years. I know that I could add another blank line at the top of your document, but I believe you when you say that you cannot. There must be something in the code that affects the addition of a blank ...

Oh, I see. I was not familiar with that behavior. Thank you.

Atlantis v. 5.0.0.1

In searching for the straight double quote (decimal 34) I discovered that the search is stopping on the straight single quote (decimal 39).

I did not investigate further.

In my case, Atlantis is completely up to date at version 4.4.6.4.

I should have included that information. Sorry.

Windows (version 11) reports that my system is up to date. I checked the fractions issue again just now. Single-digit numbers like 7/8 will convert to a real fraction. But something ...

Interesting phenomenon. I could not reproduce it.

Atlantis has an option (Tools > Autocorrect Options) to produce fractions from things like 7/8 or 2/3. But I could not get it to work for numbers greater than a single digit.

Does it do this for other fractions like 11/13 or 10/19?

You can create ...

The PDF feature will be nice. Thank you for that.

I would just like to make a comment. The one thing that keeps me using LibreOffice Writer as my primary application is that it has a Track Changes feature, which I regard as indispensable in serious writing in the year 2025. I hope that this feature ...

If I understand what you are talking about, you can already do this. It has been a long time since I used the feature, but here is how I remember it.

You use the Control Board, where you select the Format Palette. You can create tags like SansSerif-10B (you create a name) for a desired font (e.g ...

A minority opinion here from someone who does not use dark backgrounds ...

If you are talking about the grey bar with FILE EDIT FORMAT, etc., I want to say that I think it looks very nice as it is in the graphic. The grey provides a pleasant and muted contrast to the black.

Uh, no ... It does not help at all. It is a cumbersome workaround. What we really need is a track-changes capability. In the meantime we have LibreOffice, which is also an excellent word processor (though it handles a few things in a less polished way than Atlantis does).

Yes, Atlantis Word Processor is superb.
It is clean and logical in appearance and use.
Handling of footnotes and endnotes is great.
Page formatting is easy (paper type, margins, header, footer).
Wonderful .epub export.
Really nice features like the Clippy Bank (I use it a lot).
But no ...

I think this must have happened with the last update to Atlantis.

I noticed that when an automatic line wrap occurred, I was getting some kind of typewriter sound (maybe an imitation of a carriage return?).

Anyway, I checked Tools > Customize > Sounds. All the sounds were disabled. I discovered ...

Of course I know the difference between lie and lay and their derivative forms with the prefix over- . I have taught English grammar at the university level, and I have a Master's degree in English and a Ph.D. in comparative literature. I have been writing and editing for over fifty years. I also ...

Alan, I am reluctant to mention this ... but it is just who I am. I would not want you to make this mistake in your work if you submit it somewhere or make it available to the public.

... 1st line is over lain with ...

It should be overlaid with.

The lie/lay verbs are two of the biggest ...

But both show fine in Libre Office and Softmaker's Textmaker, the other word processors I have (for Track Changes).
Yeah, I know about having to use LibreOffice for its Track Changes feature. Atlantis is my preferred word processor. Fast and uncluttered; great with styles; wonderful with footnotes ...

Robert, I followed your suggestion by trying "Factory Settings" (something that I had never done before). It made no difference.

I suspect that this is a Windows 7 incompatibility with some component of the Atlantis code.

I have a couple of Windows 10 computers. This old Windows 7 machine is just ...

To keep everything really simple here ...

It appears that I was not using the most up-to-date version of Atlantis when I posted about the problem. I always have the current beta, and I thought that I was using it. I do not know what happened. However, I am now using 4.3.4.1 beta a0.

The x-bar ...

The x-bar glyph

A number of years ago I needed to help someone with "basic" statistics (actually, "basic" was pretty difficult :? ).

I could never find a font that had an "x-bar" glyph, which is an 'x' with a macron directly over it. It represents a "sample mean" in statistics. Years later I ...

ADDENDUM to my post above:

I checked the version of Noto Serif that you can download from here:
https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif

It is version 2.012, last modified in May of this year.

For the record, I am also using Noto Serif ver. 2.000. I downloaded the most current version available in January of 2023. It has the same information that Robert's version has. I am pretty sure that I downloaded it from Google, maybe from here:
