Atlantis Word Processor Forum

I use the header panel in the control board to navigate my 500+ page book, and noticed that with version 5.x there is a lot of new behaviors that are less than productive. It's making me want to revert back to the free version because this was the feature that attracted me to the software in the ...

The Format palette is the only way Atlantis can do character level styling, and I just read that Epubs prefer all inline text formatting to be done with styles. Do you know if it uses the same rtf specification as MS Word?

This is what I do: save every day's document under <filename>A1, <filename>A2, <filename>A3, up to A20, then B1 - B20, etc.
If there's an issue that comes up about changes, then use the View side-by-side feature with 2 latest versions to resolve.
It's better than nothing.

Yea, that wasn't clear at all. I did reproduce the error in Noetpad, so I see what you're talking about now. Otherwise I'd want my money back!... (just kidding. Atlantis is still my favorite WP app. :-)).

I might add - given the bugginess of the "system dialogs" - that you make the native Atlantis ...

The MS Word issue came back after a few more tries. So I selected the classic Load/Save dialogs in tools|options and even with preview enabled, I didn't have the MS Word issue. I'm sticking with the classic dialogs for now.

Yes, I am using the new style Open/Save dialogs of Atlantis and DID have the preview (details) pane selected to view. When I de-selected that pane the problem went away. The first 'problem encountered" dialog was because it couldn't save a file, if that helps in your debugging..
After turning the ...

In Atlantis versions 4.4.4.6 - 4.4.4.8 I have noticed an issue when opening a new document based on a template
File | New | Created from template | selection Normal.rtf file and the following Microsoft Word error messages pop up in separate dialogs:

"You cannot close Microsoft Office Word because a ...

I agree. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for implementing!

I noticed that when I right click on one of the document headings in the toolbar document project object, the new feature "read-only" is available. This is a feature I requested so I was excited to try it out, only to find that the file can still be edited. My request was the document to be read ...

Your documents do not use any template. They were created from a certain template. If you delete all your document templates, this would have absolutely no effect on any of your existing documents. I can only reiterate that the document templates in Atlantis do not work in the way you think. You are ...

I use document projects, thus have multiple documents loaded. Why does "favorites" and "recent documents" only list individual documents and ignore document projects? I always have to find my project on disk to load it, when it should be available in either of those nodes of the file dropdown (or in ...

There is no link between individual documents in Atlantis. Your conceptions of document templates in Atlantis are not correct.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All my documents use the same document template, but because it does not get updated when I ...

Possibly you still do not fully understand how document templates work in Atlantis. Document templates in Atlantis do not work in the way they do in MS Word.

Hi,

No, I do understand because there is nothing to ...

I did not give you the correct path for the feature. Sorry.

It should be MAIN MENU:

Format > Style

Hi, I figured that out after I posted my reply.

What I end up doing is loading the custom template and following that process to ...

I noticed that my latest document (a chapter of my book) suddenly has a 0.5" tab in all inserted footnotes after inserting more than a dozen with no tab. Previous docs did NOT have the 0.5" tab, and it looks bad in the same page as footnotes without the tab. I have gotten rid of the 0.5" tab in the ...

To do this, use FILE > STYLES and select IMPORT. Choose the file that you have previously worked on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This would be an OK work-around IF I had that option. Is that new in the latest version (I'm using v. 4.1.6.1.)?

When ...

Along with the Documents project feature (a most excellent feature I might add, much better than anything like it offered by competitors that I have tried), I would like to suggest the ability to make a document read-only within the document interface. The rich-edit control has this feature innately ...

I understand that. That's why I am requesting a NEW FEATURE of storing the name of what template was used to create the document with the document. This would also help with my other NEW FEATURE request of being prompted to save style changes with the template where they are stored.

No, I don't think you were following what I was saying. It did prompt me to save changes to the document which I did save. It did NOT prompt to save changes to the TEMPLATE, which is where those styles are stored, thus I lost all changes to the styles. They only way to save those changes is to open ...

I understand that docs and templates are not assocated, but I would like to know what template was used to create a doc. Can that featured by added?
