Atlantis Word Processor Forum

Thanks for these. I'll let you know whether I successfully applied these techniques

Current language for all my templates is English (Australia) I have an ASCII list of several hundred words such as: Aussie salute : brushing away flies with the hand Avos : avocados Back of Bourke : a very long way away Banana bender : a person from Queensland I would very much appreciate advice on ...

Has anyone used Skydrive as a backup for Atlantis files?

I find that works with new documents, but not with existing docs.

Tried a different approach and it worked.

I have a novel with includes in excess of 100,000 beginning and ending straight quotes. A publisher is interested in the novel, but has requested I change the quote style to smart or curly quotes. I've tried every technique I can think of, but none worked. I'm somewhat reluctant to manually change ...

Thanks for the prompt reply

I am negotiating with a publisher who absolutely requires that my word processor includes a track changes feature. (As does Word.)

It's easy enough to guess what they want and why. Does Atlantis contain such a feature?

Thanks. You got that in one -- w/o a sample document.

If this has been covered, I apologise for missing it. I cannot remember when I last used a Footer. Therefore they waste space, which in documents of 400+ pages, amounts to a lot. (That's got my beef out of the way.) Is there any way I can exclude footers? (Hope the answer's as simple as my question ...

You are correct Robert. I discovered my error just after I posted. Apparently the driver for the touch pad (used when I reconfigured the notebook) was corrupt and was not displayed in the Control Panel. I downloaded a replacement driver for the touch pad, installed it, and then disabled the touch ...

This weekend I installed Atlantis to a different computer using Win XP SP3 and all updates. I plan to use this notebook solely for writing using Atlantis. I'll say at the outset that I think the problem I'm about to describe is likely to relate more to my computer than to Atlantis because I've ...

Thanks Robert. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. When you get to my age I find it much easier to get confused.

Spent much time over the weekend testing this latest beta. Unfortunately there are just too many anomalies to fir comfortably with the way I work. 1.5.6.8 might be great for some, but it's definitely not for me. The final straw was not being able to uninstall it through Control Panel or a 3rd party ...

Am I imagining this?

What happened to the backup function under Tools?

File associations are not available with Atlantis installed on a removable drive?

Why?

From my point of view, that makes installation on a removable drive unworkable.

Serious rethink needed here guys.

For similar reasons, I very much agree with Rob.

Current arrangement is clumsy.

It's early days yet, but I'm delighted with the changes to installing to a removable drive. I use a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex USB device, 500GB for writing and storing backups of novels. With Atlantis installed and being able to switch between computers has to date been a dream. More later as I get ...

Obviously all this is beyond the capability of the developers, so I'll give up on Atlantis

That doesn't work. Well, it does exactly what you say, but that's unsatisfactory. Have you ever needed to edit/revise, for example, a long technical paper or a novel? If you have you'll be aware that such revision works better if you can view in context what you are editing. OK, seems to be ...
