Atlantis Word Processor Forum

I am unable to back up a file in the normal way. I have the automatic backup turned on for every two hours. This works great and it has saved me many times. But when I want to Save the file I'm working on with the Save Document (CTRL-S) icon it gives me the error message that: Error Creating backup ...

I want to create anther file with the exact same styles. Is thee a way to copy all the styles from one file and paste them into a blank file?

Robert, I have published seven 6x9 books on Amazon and for four of them I used Atlantis to do the work. Like Sarah said, I use DoPDF as my "pdf printer" program. I just click on the printer icon and change the default printer to DoPDF and then make sure it is saved in the place you want it and it ...

I like Atlantis so much that I have written three books with it. But I also miss the Tables tool I find in other wp programs. But I'm getting good at creating workarounds that are not a simple tool within the program. To do a table, I will make it in Word or Excel then use a screen capture utility ...

I had never seen that before and am very glad to get the info. Thanks so much.

Sometimes I have a need to copy a numbered list and paste it into an email. The formatting is lost and the numbers along with it. I have been simply retyping the numbers in the email. I would like to know if there is a way to convert the numbered list to a normal text list and retain the numbering ...

I need a tool for adding quotes and other marks to paragraphs. In writing my books and blogs, I often quote from other sources including the American Founding Fathers, Shakespeare, the Bible, etc. Later, I realize I need to set that quote between quote marks. I have been using the standard practice ...

My latest book, "Finding New Jerusalem", was written entirely with Atlantis instead of Word. There were a few workarounds that needed to be done but the basic writing and using all the tools there, so handy, made it so much easier to accomplish. And the file sizes are so small by comparison. I had ...

I've completed the book and I'm adding the index and table of contents but now some square bracket symbols have appeared at the ends of every chapter title which is set for a Heading 1 style. This did not appear until now and is not the same as the brackets created from the keyboard. How do I remove ...

The current document suddenly has tiny boxes around the footnote numbers. How do I remove them?

I often print booklets and it works well. When printing standard pages I can go to File>Preview and see a preview of the document before printing. That is unless I'm printing a booklet. The only way I can preview a booklet is after printing it. Does Atlantis have a booklet preview so I can see the ...

Thanks Robert for this explanation. I already use the Semi-automatic method quite often. But it simply adds the styles to those included. I would like to create a template that has only one style--Normal. From there I can add the text from the other file, which I assume will all be changed to Normal ...

I am working on some older documents that have different styles than I use now and would like to open a fresh document which has no styles so I can add my own set. How do I do this? Or how do I delete all the styles in the list?

When I open a new file I see all the files in the folder shown in "List" view. It's an easy thing to change it to "Details" so I can see the dates and sizes but it won't stay that way. I have to change it every time I Open a file. Where can I set a default for this? Thanks

In the fonts we have is there one that is the cursive symbol for "and"? Not the ampersand but the symbol for the Latin word "et" which means and. It is usually written as a backwards 3 and a vertical line through it or maybe a lower case t. I'd like to find it in a font to mimic the handwritten one.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Robert, thanks again for the reply. I was able to do these and they all worked. Now I would like to find a way to alter the Insert items for Date & Time so it will also come in without the non-breaking spaces. I keep a log and notes of my daily work so I need this function daily. I do it this way: 1 ...

Robert, thanks for the explanation. I just assumed it was something used in UK English but not in the US. MS Word doesn't use this that I know. I would like to replace all these symbols with a regular space but I have no way to put it into the Search and Replace box. I work with the Special Symbols ...

With the Special Symbols turned on to show all symbols, sometimes the spaces are represented by a tiny circle, like a degree symbol, but it's not visible with the show symbols turned off. It is most noticeable when I insert something like a date. Here is an example: Augustº03,º2013 This only occurs w ...

Just to clarify what I'm experiencing... This is the first time in the morning after turning on the the desktop computer. When I open Atlantis I have it set to open the Normal.rtf file so later I will have a place to Paste if needed. Then I click on the Open File icon and find the document I want to ...
