Fuzzy unsharp fonts - screenshot
Here is the screenshot I took showing several programs open and Atlantis in front. It shows what I was saying then, of all the programs Atlantis is more fuzzy and unsharp. As I mentioned before, I am running Windows 7 with the resolution set at maximum for this HP 22" monitor which is 1680 x 10...

I cannot reproduce any display problem in Atlantis under the Large (150%) text size on a Windows 7 system. But in any case, individual font glyphs are rendered by Windows, not by Atlantis. So Atlantis has nothing to do with font sharpness. There must be a different explanation for this situation. T...

Fuzzy unsharp fonts
I am a writer of books and now have eleven on Amazon. Most of my books are written in AWP and I love it. I currently have version 2 and haven't upgraded to the later one. I like to work with many different apps open on my desktop including 8-10 tabs on the browser. My computer is a desktop Windows 7...

Stop a Long Search
I write books and sometimes do a search on something only to discover it's going to search the entire book and find hundreds of hits. How can I stop the search which can last 5-6 minutes?

Latest upgrade with Tables and more.
Well, you forced me into it. I recently upgraded my Atlantis to the latest one and I'm happy that we now have tables. But there are other things I'm not so happy about. I write books and do a lot of quoting; from the Bible, Shakespeare, and many other websites to include in my books. I have long use...

Highlight tool highlights page numbers
In writing my books I often use a highlight color to mark my place for later or to indicate a paragraph that needs more work. I notice that when I turn on the highlight tool and set the color, then all the page numbers also are highlighted with that same color. How can I prevent this. I am using the...

Title Bar Showing File name
In the Windows taskbar tabs I can see one or two words of the document title in both Word and LibreOffice Writer. But not so with Atlantis. The tab shows the complete name of the software and we have to put our cursor on it to see what file it is. This is what is showing in the document title bar at...

Auto parenthesis and quote marks
To those of us who use the program constantly I would like to see a few new buttons to use. I often us quotes (') or (") and also the parenthesis marks (and). It would be convienient to hit the desired button and the system would remember it then when you finish the line and type a period (full...

Date and time added at startup
I use the Windows Startup folder to cause some programs to start automatically when the computer is turned on. I've used this feature for many years and it works well to open programs automatically without me being at the computer. One program on the list in Startup is Atlantis to open a file where ...

Robert, this is what I do to all my photos, maps, diagrams, etc. and as you said it can be added in many photo editor programs. At first, I wanted it to be resident in Atlantis like MS Word but I have several workarounds now for my books. I use the Faststone Image editor for this. When I need someth...

Using Atlantis for books on CreateSpace
As I mentioned earlier, I now have eight books on Amazon, five of them were written with Atlantis. I write only non-fiction books, some in 6x9 and others in 7x10. The larger size I use for more technical books that require a larger picture or drawing. It is true, Atlantis lacks an index generator li...

Fonts won't change
Sometimes I have to edit files created in OpenOffice Writer or one of its derivatives and when I open it in Atlantis, the fonts look different. I always save the file in Atlantis own RTF format but it still retains the ugly font. I'm very familiar with how to select my fonts based on styles and ofte...

Program to create Index
I have used Index Generator for five non-fiction books and it works well. When finished I save the file as an RTF file and it easily pastes into the book. The work is to actually select all the words needed for the index, which only you can do. It usually takes me a couple of days to create the index.
