As is the case with most software, major releases start with different first digit:
Version 1.x
Version 2.x
Version 3.x
And so on...
The current version of Atlantis is 1.6.1.6
The inability of Atlantis to handle tables is certainly disappointing. I work all the time with documents containing tables, which means that if I use Atlantis to word-process the text, I have to switch to a different program to deal with the tables.

That's fine! I purchased the product as is and am happy with it (even though I didn't check for the support of tables (probably took it as a given)). However I am editing some notes that were sent to me and thought that bit ought to be a table. Couldn't find anything in the Atlantis Help so came here and found this thread. Ok! I can't use a table.
However, my question is how does Atlantis treat either an RTF or DOC file that someone sends me that does have tables? Does it just ignore the content? Does it keep the table content but put it into tabbed columns? What happens? Loosing the content would be a serious problem!
Any help would be much appreciated.

The table content is kept when you open RTFs or DOCs in Atlantis. Yes, the present version of Atlantis Word Processor puts the table content into tabbed columns.

Thanks 'admin' that's fine, I can cope with that.

I gave up on tables in Atlantis two years ago, and am now happily committed to OpenOffice. It's fine to add new features to Atlantis, but the continued lack of tables is just bizarre. And in my case at least, lost my interest and my money.
I am not displeased with the lack of tables in Atlantis, but on the other hand I am surprised Atlantis could not read it, ie display it. Indeed wordpad can even if it can't create it.
there is the same problem for OLE objects.
Atlantis does not read it while wordpad does.
I am not criticizing the fact that it is not possible to create tables but that Atlantis can't read and display it.
Otherwise Atlantis is perfect because it is more convenient, fast and compact than fat Word
I have been using Atlantis for several years. I love it and have used it to produce hundreds of documents.
My current employer requires me to use a table (only one document) for productivity logs. I use Word 97 for just this one task and do look forward to the time when Atlantis matures to the point of handling this for me.
Atlantis beats Word 97 and 2007 hands down for ease of use, function, and speed.
Please do not create a "ribbon" for Atlantis. I just cannot get my mind around why such a thing became necessary.

We have actually had 16 years :) But now the tables are here! I cannot believe it. Just 16 years and we have tables... We are damn lucky!!! Congratulations!
