Hi All: Very new to Atlantis with numerous questions. It must be possible to draw lines in Atlantis but darned if I can find the way. Can some-one advise? Probably staring me in the face!

If you mean MS Word's "floating" graphic shapes (lines, curves, circles, polygons, etc), Atlantis does not support them.
If you mean paragraph borders, they are planned for future releases.
You could use "tabs with leader characters" to display horizontal lines in your document (please see "Memo ?.rtf" templates of Atlantis).

Thanks for the reply. I was meaning the line drawing in MS Word as via the drawing toolbar. Would like the different line sizes/formats but have gotten around it to a certain extent using the underline feature and (none) as opposed to `words only`. Any chance of some new (thicker?) lines in the underline choice at some stage? Like the program so far.

Welcome aboard, brads - great to finally have another K1W1 here. Did you download the Maaori add-in for the spellchecker in Atlantis? It saves a lot of time if you have to use common Maaori words in your writing.brads13 wrote: Hi All: Very new to Atlantis with numerous questions.

Atlantis supports many underline types (including thicker underlines). The "Format | Font" dialog allows to choose the desired underline type.brads13 wrote: Any chance of some new (thicker?) lines in the underline choice at some stage?

I use the Highlighter (with a tab) to highlight an entire line. It creates a mock border effect for a heading. This allows for some thicker lines than using underline alone. Just change the font size of the line.brads13 wrote: Would like the different line sizes/formats but have gotten around it to a certain extent using the underline feature and (none) as opposed to `words only`.

Here is an example... all three lines were created using highlight and tabs:

Admin @ Buffybot.
Thanks for the suggestions. I`ll give them a go.

Haven`t installed the Maori dict. Trying Atlantis on it`s own at the moment. Bells and whistles can come later.

I've made a rtf that gives some further examples of this sort of thing.
Hope this helps until Atlantis gets boxed elements, borders and such...

But can Atlantis DISPLAY vertical/horizontal rtf lines?
It is clear that Atlantis *NEEDS* to have the ability to do basic line drawing. After all, it *IS* part of the RTF standard as well as the MS Word standard. But I'd settle for being able to simply *DISPLAY* vertical and horizontal lines that I've already created in other RTF editors. Can Atlantis already do this?

Hi, Derek!
Currently there is no support for graphic "line drawing" in Atlantis.
This feature is planned for future versions.
Expanded and compressed font "spacing" are "standard" terms used
in MS Word and in the RTF official specifications.
Cheers,
Robert

The RTF Specification includes tons and tons of different formatting options and features. Some of them are not even supported by MS Word.DerekABenner wrote: After all, it *IS* part of the RTF standard as well as the MS Word standard.

Every new release of Atlantis introduces new features. But it will never be possible to support ALL features and options mentioned in the RTF specification. Every new version of MS Word introduces new features. In order to reflect these changes, the corresponding changes are made to the DOC and RTF specifications.
Again, every new release of Atlantis will introduce new features.
