I downloaded and temporarily installed all of the above fonts in Windows 10. I then added each of them to my Atlantis Favorite Fonts. I was then able to apply each font to a different paragraph without running into any kind of trouble. Please see attached screen capture. There might be something in ...

Could you please name these problematic fonts? Where can we find them?

Is it still happening if you launch a test copy of Atlantis with factory settings (“Tools | Factory Settings…”)?

Atlantis already has such a feature as “Select text with similar formatting” within the The Reveal Formatting panel of the Control Board ! Here is how to go about this: 1. Make a selection of the target text. 2. Display the Reveal Formatting panel of the Control Board. 3. Use the drop down at the to...

If you go to Unicode Character Finder , and search for “ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER”, you’ll see that it is Unicode Code Point U+200C, or HTML Entity 8204; or ‌ This “ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER” character can be used to replace the spaces that you insert so painstakingly before and after your forward ...

Why not use the Atlantis AutoCorrect Replace Pairs?

When you have started a Find operation through the Find dialog box, you can dismiss the dialog box with the Escape key, and navigate from one find to the next with a press on the F3 key. You can also select all Find results, and apply a specific highlighting color to them. They are easy to locate th...

The same method applies. To change “smart (curvy)” single quotes into "straight" single quotes : Select the target text. Press Ctrl+H. Enter a straight single quote into the Find What box. Enter a straight single quote into the Replace With box. Press Replace All. To change "straight&...

You need to create that kind of “vertical text” as a text box in a graphical software like MS Paint, and save the picture to your disk. You can then paste it into a table column in Atlantis. See attached “Vertical Text in Atlantis Word Processor (2b).docx”. The same picture with vertical text can al...

Hi Panopticus, It is actually possible to make text vertical in Atlantis. You can place it either as a) text in a table column b) a picture in a table column c) a picture watermark in a document header Here is how to proceed: You need to create the vertical text first: 1. Type the text that you want...

In Atlantis, UK and US English are not treated as the same language. Both the spellchecker and AutoCorrect behave differently depending on which language is associated with the current word. If you click “Tools | Default Language…”, select UK English and check “Associate all new text with the follow...

You could try using the attached file in Atlantis. 1. Click “Tools | Default Language…”, select UK English and check “Associate all new text with the following language”. OK out of the dialog. 2. In the document window, place the insertion cursor within a word marked as “UK English” and Click “Tools...

The “Tools | Customize > Sounds…” dialog includes “Overtyping text” as a sound “Event”. It is neither installed nor activated by default, but you can use any WAV sound file as a custom sound to get a sound warning whenever you start typing in "Overtype" mode: https://www.atlantiswordproces...

Your file encoding is UTF-8 w/o BOM. You need to convert it to the ANSI encoding. In Windows 10, you simply need to open the file in Notepad and resave it with the ANSI encoding. At the bottom of the “Save As” dialog, you have a drop-down allowing you to choose which encoding you want to save your f...

Eduardo, I suggested posting one of your text files, not a screen capture! I went to Auto da eleição do rei D. João I, de 6 de Abril de 1385 , selected the main text, and copied it with right-click and Ctrl+C. I then pasted the clipboard contents into a new Atlantis text document [“File | New > Plai...

Which format are these files? Which extension? .txt, .doc, .rtf, .docx? What do you mean by “I import them in Atlantis”? Do you use “Insert | File…” as a command? Or do you open the file in Atlantis first, then copy/paste part of it into a new Atlantis document? Could you please post a sample file o...

^32 is just the HTML code for a standard space character. In the Find or Replace boxes, ^32 is more visible than a space character typed from the keyboard. Space characters typed from the keyboard can easily be overlooked.

Deleting all tab characters is easy with Find/Replace if you replace each tab character with a space character:
Find: ^t
Replace: ^32
Inserting new tab stops can be done with a dedicated style having appropriate tab properties.

Have a look at the following pages:
Find / Replace
The Find/Replace panel of the Control Board

Uncheck “Fast Navigation” on the “Edit” tab of the “Tools | Options…” dialog to turn it off:



However, Fast Navigation should not happen with Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V…

The decision to change the tested and quite refined toolbar system of Atlantis 2 with an unproductive and ugly blaring background color one is most unfortunate. The toolbar system of Atlantis 3 can be customized in many ways. In that respect, it is a lot more “refined” than that of Atlantis 2. In p...

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 (right-click, select Paragraph) to add 12 points of space above and below to each paragraph that was not a "bar" paragraph. Actually, ...

with LibreOffice you can create a style that uses borders around a paragraph. You indent the left border of the paragraph in the style, add a little bit of padding, and then delete all the borders except the left one. The result is great. You can just click to apply the style when you need it. The ...

In MS Word, you’d use a text box. However, Atlantis doesn’t yet support text boxes. But you can still use a workaround in Atlantis, if you create a custom Format Template in your Format Palette with the following paragraph and tabulation format properties: https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/fo...

Restricting the search scope to a selection is only available in the standard (traditional) Find/Replace dialog (Ctrl+F).

Try switching off “View | Special Symbols”. Are the dots still there?

You can change their color:

We are glad to hear that your problem was solved. It would help us to know why resaving your document from DOCX to RTF in MS Word was supposed to solve your problem. Did the forum member give you any clue?
TIA

There are no symbols except a para break

If you place the insertion cursor next to that end-of-paragraph mark, does the Paragraph toolbar show it as being right-aligned? Or is it left-aligned?

You could create screen captures and edit them so that any sensitive information is blurred beyond retrieval. The screen captures should show the Special Symbols (non-printing marks). You could add the blurring effects in Paint.NET. It is a very good free “image and photo editing software for PCs th...
