Robert thank you for your characteristically helpful and courteous reply. I run an online high school - live classes are given by chatroom. I require ALL my staff and students to get Atlantis for compatibility and so I can give support on a program I know so well and find so excellent. Thanks again.

Booklets

I cannot use the Booklet finction because I can only print single side pages. But Atlantis is clever enough to calculate booklet layout already. So surely there is a way to help me design the pages and print one double page (2 X A5) at a time? So Atlantis shows me I have 8 X A5 pages in my Booklet ...

THANK YOU thank you THANK YOU

Robert you are wonderful. I now have a complete system to create "invisible text." Just in case anyone else wants to use this here's how. ---------------------------------------- I set up a Style called Invisible - in this Style font is white so it's invisible, but ALSO as an added sophistication ...

Wonderful - how to make style apply to all documents?

Robert thank you this is a wonderful solution. After writing in I tried doing the Invisible text with macros but the setup is not as user friendly as Style. One last thing - using the Style method only allows the Style to be used in THIS document. I then need to Import it into every other document ...

Set highlight colour to make "invisible text"

Dear Atlantis I want to be able to create apparently "invisible text" which can then be easily revealed. (It's for a self test quiz to revise for exams) I thought I could do this by typing in question and answer, then making the answer text white font on white background. Then if my student can't ...

News on tables

Could we have an update on when tables functionality will be added? I've been using Atlantis over five years now waiting for this. Is it very difficult? Are there special problems? I make all my staff and students use Atlantis and I constantly get grumbled at because it doesn't support tables. Other ...

More on the mystery links

I just tried updating Atlantis with a minor upgrade that puts a Copy as html button on the toolbar. But it greys out in most of the docs I open! Also tried a test document displaying links in different ways. I think the html conversion needs me to use http:// BUT that worked only when Atlantis ...

Html conversion great - except links

I am compiling some of my Atlantis documents into ebooks. The html conversion on Save Special operates very well on text, colours, highlighting, even graphics - but it isn't picking up on the website links I have in my documernts. Is there something I'm missing? I generally type in a web address ...

Wonderful Atlantis naturally - tiny problem

Atlantis what would I do without you! Thank you for all the happy years we've been together.

Tiny prob. Recently every tme I type something all the boxes on the status bar keep flashing in a jumpy way. It stops as soon as I click Save but it's very distracting. Hope you can help.

insert bookmark as toolbar button/ Insert menu or both

PLEASE put the "insert bookmark" back on the Insert menu AND in the toolbar. It doesn't make intuitive sense to have "insert hyperlink" in these places but not have "insert bookmark" next to it. They work as a pair! I know the Control Panel is powerful but it means a) opening a different admin area ...

I adore Atantis and have used it and recommended it widely since very early in its life. But I just upgraded to 1.6.1.1 - and I can't insert a bookmark so I can't use hyperlinks to places in documents. I rely heavily on these for guide docs to my students. Existing bookmarks work. There is no ...

Embed font

Dear darling Atlantis

is there no way to embed a font in a document?
I have lots of nonstandard fonts and I have to stay with boring standard stuff in the infosheets I send out (weep) if you don't do it.
