That is wonderful news!

Since I am a longtime user of Atlantis and a great fan of the program, I was hoping that Franklin would provide some more information, things like: Windows version. Is the computer turned off at night or only put to sleep? Do you leave any files open when you quit for the day? More information about...

Glad you solved the problem!

I have been doing this kind of thing for thirty years. Just an example: Create a style called "TITLE LINE 1". Select the font and font size. Select CENTER for your alignment. Then create a style called "TITLE LINE 2". Select CENTER for the alignment. Put about 14 points for the s...

The arrow is a tab symbol. You have the codes turned on for display. Nothing is wrong with the display. You are not formatting correctly. It looks as if you have tried to use tabs to center things and also a line break (Shift+Enter instead of just Enter). To format properly, you should not use tabs ...

I have been using F5 a lot in the last few days for a book that I am writing. I did not know about F5 until I read about it here. Fantastic feature! I am always having to look back at things that I have written (or look ahead in the document), but I just want to check something and then go back to m...

Yes, the colors are the same in the dialog and in the document window. What I meant is that a medium gray, for example, may look great in a dialog but the darkness of that color may overwhelm the page when you have a whole paragraph of that shade. Therefore, I have found, it is better to select a sh...

This is a really nice feature. I tried it out in a test yesterday. I used 3/4 point for my border, and I think I used a border space of 2pt at top and bottom and 3pt for left and right. I selected a customized light gray for the shading. A hint for people who may not have much experience with this k...

You have to save your new styles as a template. FILE > Save Special > Save as template Name the file (template) whatever you would like. Then when you create a new file, use: FILE > New > Create from template. This opens a list of templates. Select your desired template. The new file will have copie...

It is extremely easy to do, but I can tell from your question that you do not understand styles, and that makes it difficult to answer your question. If you can open the Control Board, do so and click on the Styles icon. That will display the styles in the document. Down at the lower left you will s...

I took a look at the file that centurian attached. It has hard returns (paragraph endings) at the end of every line. I did not know about the EDIT > Join Paragraphs feature. I had to look at it and use it on centurian's file to see how it worked. That is a really neat editing feature. The file in qu...

Robert ... I had, of course, already looked carefully at the format commands in your example. And I went back and looked at them again just now. The Normal style in your example has no format instructions for space above or below (those settings are blank). It appears that you used a style override ...

My thanks to Robert for pointing out the "bar" use with a Tab. I guess I have been looking right past the "bar" option for a lot of years. Anyway, I want to point out one or two things. The workaround with the Tab/bar is fine if you type documents as you would on a typewriter and...

That capability will be a great step forward.

Thanks!

Thank you. I always wondered what that "compact RTF" meant. :| Unchecking the "compact" option solved the problem of having just one long paragraph (no newlines). Capitalization issues remain with Scrivener and Fade In. (1) Scrivener: RTF styles using all-caps in Atlantis do not ...

I do not know if this is worth mentioning or not. I discovered the issue a couple of years ago. Atlantis imports RTF from other programs just fine (or seems to, anyway). But importing an Atlantis RTF file into another program is a different matter. Three commonly used software programs that can impo...

Hey, I was the one who made the suggestion of saving to RTF and then reopening the file. I was just using intuition, after my 35 years of experience in using software and tinkering with programming. What I do not know (the original poster did not say) is whether he re-saved the document to DOCX form...

Okay, I see what you are talking about, now. I did not understand that before.

I guess that Atlantis would have to function as a clipboard manager to do something like that, with an option to save every instance of copied text as a separate file.

If I understand what you mean, you can do this now.

In any document you can select text, right click it, and choose SAVE SELECTION AS; or select your text and use Ctrl+Shift+F12.

I am just going to say that I did the following, and it worked perfectly after I closed Atlantis and reopened the file. First turn on the Special Symbols, so that you can see the pilcrow (paragraph) symbol and the Section Break symbol. I ran a test on a long document with FIVE sections. I changed th...
