Add to Dictionary, on the Fly

I write fiction, and *many* of the words I type are "made-up" and aren't in the dictionary, and when I write dialogue, using phonetic or dialectical phrases ("Pfft," he said, or "Uhright, y'all,") causes the red squigglies, and I hate red squigglies. So, since adding a word to the dictionary now ...

Readbility Statistics?

Word Perfect and MS Word provide some statistics that are helpful to writers in meeting certain criteria for readability, as some magazines and newspapers like the 'duh' factor kept super-low. In Word, these "readability statistics" are an option one can see after completing Spell Check. I think, in ...

Remove Font Formatting

When I've applied several formatting options to my text (say, bold, italic, red color) and type the few words I want to be formatted this way, I would like to be able to remove all these formats and go back to typing with the font I was using. As it is now, the 'remove formatting' command (Ctrl ...

"Actual Writing Time" feature - whee!

This is a belated thank-you, but here ya go anyway. The unobtrusive little time-keeper in the status bar (at bottom) that ticks away once I start typing and then stops when I stop -- wow, what a COOL, and UNIQUE feature for a writer who needs to know how much to charge a client - or who wants to ...

I've written several books in Atlantis, and all of them were serious. Well, in one of them I was just goofing around. ; ) All seriousness aside (old Steve Allen joke there) -- a non-fiction book, with graphs and tables out the wahzoo, mmm..... you might have to break over and use Word or Word ...

Backup to USB drive...

This would be handy for me; whether it's practical, I don't know. I'd like to see a toolbar icon (or keyboard shortcut) that carries out "Backup Current Document to [whatever] drive." Let the [whatever] be a variable, of course. This is obviously for making a quick backup to a USB drive, Zip drive ...

Interface

I for one LOVE the Atlantis interface. *Please* don't screw it up the way Microsoft screwed up Office (not that I'd use Microsoft, but...). It's a sad fact that, now and then, almost all Windows users are going to be using MS Word, and I tell ya, if what they did to Word (all those "ribbons," etc ...

New status bar for time spent writing?

COOL! This puts Atlantis _miles_ in the lead as my favorite word processor. Every writer I speak with gets my Atlantis sermon, and I'm sure I've converted a few. I'll keep talking. You guys keep making it great.

Yikes! On second thought...

I didn't get a toobar "text button" for "Save as Encrypted Document" at all. The one created was for "Create New Encrypted Document." As they say here in the South, "Duh." So now I'm completely lost. If there's a way to make a shortcut key or a toolbar button (shortcut key is actually much better ...

Customizing Toolbar Buttons

I'm sure I've done this correctly before, but for the life of me... I need to put a toolbar button on the main Atlantis toolbar for "Save as Encrypted Document." I can get to the point where I have a new button there, but it's all text, and has no icon. I can't remember (assuming I ever knew) how to ...
