Quick searches can be done in a jiffy from The Find/Replace panel of the Control Board . You could also reorganize your Clippy Bank so that each specific project is subsumed under a dedicated heading. And use the The Headings panel of the Control Board to navigate from one heading to the next. As Ad...

You might want to try any of the suggestions from 8 Solutions to the “Access Violation at Address” Error on Windows Computers

I can't even wrap my head around that line of thinking And you are the one who accused me of …"towering prejudices"… It’s just that I haven’t got so much of a chip on my shoulder as you suggested so nicely in this thread. A singularly "elusive" bug in a single user’s system(s) i...

I did not enable “OS file compression”. I enabled file compression exclusively for “awp.exe”. However, last night, my Windows system got automatically updated to the latest available build (19043.1237). And uninstalling a compressed “awp.exe” executable now no longer produces access violations. Prob...

I imagine you can't reproduce that error each time, despite file compression being activated. As I tried unsuccessfully to explain, these violation error messages are systematically displayed on my system each time I try to uninstall Atlantis and I have beforehand activated compression in the file ...

No, I do not have file compression on any of my installs or systems. And I doubt that file compression is the actual cause of the occurrence of that error on your end, either -- for this is how elusive it is acting every time... Coincidence does not equal cause. I did test uninstalling Atlantis sev...

I run various professional software and VMs and whatnot and none of the 200 programs I use ever has an issue. You’re trying to make out that Atlantis is the only program that has issues, especially issues that occur on your system. But no one else has reported any similar occurrences with Atlantis....

There is no point in getting so peevish and personal, unjustifiably so to boot… Just for the record, I have been involved daily in the development of Atlantis since it was first released many many years ago as "Atlantis 0.7", then as "Atlantis Ocean Mind", and now as "Atlant...

To be able to fix any bug in any application, the developers must be able to reproduce the steps as described by end-users. Bugs that cannot be reproduced are quintessentially idiosyncratic. Your access violations won’t be stopped until the developers can reproduce them on their own system. Develope...

I've emailed the .ini file to you. To note, this .ini file is based on a clean install of Atlantis; I then configured the application as I wanted and saved the .ini file. I then uninstalled Atlantis and this is when the access violation error occurred. First thing that came to my mind was "why...

If there aren’t many crash reports in this forum or elsewhere, it is simply because they happen very rarely…

If you get access violation messages just by launching Atlantis, it can only mean that your install of Atlantis is corrupt, or that your current Atlantis settings have hit on a bug. In which case, it would be much wiser to send your current Atlantis configuration file ("Atlantis.ini") to &...

"awp.dat" is not an Atlantis "configuration file". It is a proprietary internal file meant "for Atlantis-eyes-only". End-users are not supposed to modify or remove, then reinstate that file haphazardly with their "own personal installer". In doing so, you are ...

It seems that you are running round and round in circles installing, then uninstalling, then reinstalling Atlantis. It can only lead to frustration. Tampering with the internal system files of Atlantis or any other application is most unadvisable unless you really know what you are doing, which is o...

Modal or not modal, is there any open dialog in the existent instance of Atlantis when this happens? Which dialog (screen capture if at all possible)?
When this happens, is there any indication in the status bar of the existent instance of Atlantis that a background operation is in progress?

I forgot to say that it is often necessary to reboot Windows after making changes to the antivirus options…

The most likely culprit is your antivirus or “security suite” trying to be “helpful” and blocking Atlantis as malware or ransomware. Try registering Atlantis (i.e. its executable “awp.exe”) as a safe application with your security/antivirus application. For example, if you are using the AVAST antivi...

If you mean the detailed “Advanced tooltips” displaying when you hover the mouse for a few seconds over the toolbar buttons, you can turn them off in the "Customize Toolbars" dialog: https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/forum/files/advanced_tooltips.png To access this option, choose th...

You cannot rotate text in Atlantis, but you can edit your picture in a graphic editor like Paint 3D, add text sideways, and rotate it appropriately.

There is an even faster method: 1. Select the target paragraphs or the whole document if the whole document is the target. 2. Click “Format | Tabs…” or the dedicated toolbar button https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/forum/files/tabs.png to open the “Tabs” dialog. 3. Press “OK”. Atlantis will a...

Click “Format | Tabs…” On the left of the “Tabs” dialog, select the first tab position, then press the “Delete” button. Press the “Delete” button again as many times as is necessary to remove all of them. OK out of the “Tabs” dialog. Note that you can move individual tab stops along the ruler if you...

This is not possible with a Find/Replace search. But you can use The Reveal Formatting panel of the Control Board . It will show you all italicized fragments in the document.

Atlantis has a command/button to “Join paragraphs”. The corresponding hot key is Ctrl+Shift+U . It is part of the Edit toolbar buttons: https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/forum/files/merging_paragraphs.png If it’s not already on your toolbars, you can add it through “Tools | Customize > Toolba...

There is a faster solution if you want to insert the image file and its “short” name with or without the file type extension: 1. In Atlantis, click “Insert | Picture…” 2. In the “Open Picture” dialog, select the target picture. 3. Right-click the file name and choose “Rename” from the menu. 4. Press...

If you need to insert the file “short” name without the file type extension, all you need to do is this: 1. Right-click the file name in Windows Explorer. 2. Choose “Rename” from the menu. 3. Press Ctrl+C on your keyboard. 4. Press Ctrl+V into Atlantis. … If you need to insert the file “short” name ...

The number of items in that drop-down normally depends on the value assigned to “Number of items in the histories” in the Atlantis Options (General tab).

I do not recall having to choose whether the font was only for the current user or for everybody.

Have a look at this picture.
You’ll see that you can install a font for the current user or “for all users”.

“TT1139M_.ttf” as available from Calligraphic 421 Roman has characters that look very much like those of “Calligraph421 BT font”. Are you sure that your document is using “Calligraph421 BT font”, and not “Calligraphic 421 Roman”? The font name would look almost identical on the Atlantis toolbar… To ...

I downloaded “Calligraph421 BT - .TTF ” from Calligraph421 BT font and installed it on my Windows 10 system. I created attached “Calligraph.docx” in latest Atlantis. It looked this way: https://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/forum/files/screenshot_1.png I then uninstalled the Calligraph421 BT font...
