French user : sorry for my bad english ! It's a question I've already ask , but not on the forum and perhaps somebody will be interested by the answer. In a future release Atlantis will be able to work with the TRF headers and footers specifications. Thanks for the nice job with Atlantis

I am beginning to think that being able to add footnote would be quite handy too. :-[

The development of a wordprocessor is a never-ending process. Atlantis 1.0 is just the first version...

Atlantis 1.0 is just the first version

And an exceptional first version it is. I have several friends who work in different sciences, and I am going to encourage them to chek out Ocean Mind for its new science spell checker.

Yes, please. I am now at work on several large documents that would definitely benefit from being able to add headers and footers. ;D

Amen to at least headers and footers. Since I make my living writing (novels & short stories), having the capability to add headers is vital. Since downloading Nova, I've used it exclusively and love it, except for the above mentioned problem. The short story I just finished has been run through my old Royal typewriter to add the necessary header. I love my ancient Royal, but I'd much rather do it all with Atlantis.

I aggree to you in any way. Nobody wants to work with two word processors but the most people I know are doing so. Word or Textmaker for some special purposes and a quick one like Atlantis for the real work. BTW: Are some of your stories being published in Germany?

Just like to add my weight to the argument for headers, footers and footnote/endnotes -- this would round off the formatting functions now available Our Word processor of choice -- excellent for submissions to newspapers/mags -- and ideal for smaller/older computers that don't have a lot of mg's to spare ;D

Just another vote for headers and footers asap.

Hi,

I am another happy user of Atlantis but I could really do with the 'header/footer' facility.

More than a year ago, the never ending process of wordprocessor development was mentioned - any sign of an end?

regards.

Yes, please, equip Atlantis with Headers & Footers. I've just converted from MS Word, and would prefer to continue using Atlantis, but I need that feature for my work.

The incoming version of Atlantis Ocean Mind will have headers/footers.

Headers & Footers would be very useful. Come on Atlantis technical bods, how about a quick patch to add this feature?

Until you do, I need to keep MS Word on my system.

Could I use different footers in one document?

Post by **admin** » Tue Jul 01, 2003 6:58 am

Of course.

Headers and footers are characteristics (properties) of document sections. Each document section can have its own set of headers/footers. Each section can even have different headers on the first, odd and even pages (use the "File | Page Settings" menu command to specify which headers should be displayed for the current section, or for the selected sections). Each section may either have its own header(s), or inherit headers from a previous section. When a section inherits a header from the previous section, both sections share the same header. In other words, any change to the shared header will affect both sections. Shared headers or footers are said to be linked.

If your document contains 10 sections, each of these sections could have its own set of headers/footers for odd pages, even pages, and its first page. You could insert new sections to your document by inserting section breaks (Insert | Special Symbol | Section Break).

I will immediately test this function!

Prince · Post by **Prince** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 6:43 am

I still do not understand how to set different footers on various selections. Could you tell me the way in a few words? Thank you

Post by **admin** » Thu Jul 03, 2003 3:22 pm

You cannot set different headers for the desired selections. You can do this for the desired document sections.

If you are not familiar with document sections, you could not achieve the desired formatting.

Again, each document section can have its own headers. By inserting section breaks to your document, you create new sections (if a document contains 5 section breaks, this means that this document has 6 sections). The status bar displays information about the current section and the section count.

If your document contains 10 pages, and you want to have the "Header 1" for the first 5 pages, and the "Header 2" for the other 5 pages of your document,

a) place the caret at the beginning of the page #6,

b) insert a section break (Insert | Special Symbol | Section Break | ...),

c) choose the "View | Headers" command,

d) click the header on the page #6 (or page #7..#10),

e) uncheck the "Same as previous" button of the "Headers/footers" toolbar (two sections will have independent headers),

f) click the header on the first page (or page #2..#5), and type the desired header for the first 5 pages (for the first section),

g) click the header on the page #6 (or page #7..#10), and type the desired header for the last 5 pages (for the second section).

You should understand the following:

Each section may either have its own header(s), or inherit headers from a previous section. When a section inherits a header from the previous section, both sections share the same header. In other words, any change to the shared header will affect both sections. Shared headers or footers are said to be linked.
When a section inherits header or footer from the previous section, a "Same As Previous" caption is displayed above the corresponding header or footer (under the "View | Headers / Footers" mode toggled on).

Perhaps I am a bloke today. How do I uncheck the "same as previous" button?

I'm having the same trouble, I can't uncheck the button either.
