Main Features Of Atlantis Word Processor: ======================================== In Atlantis, all the traditional word processing functions have been designed for maximum efficiency. But this is not all! Atlantis has many innovative and unique features

that make word processing genuinely easier and more effective. * THE WORD PROCESSING FUNCTIONS: . Document creation and formatting is easy, using a customizable and expandable collection of document templates and sample letters. . Comprehensive Style Sheet support is available for advanced users. . A customizable and expandable Clip Library is stocked with text and graphic it ems ready to be inserted in larger documents whenever suitable. The Atlantis origi nal collections of clips include everyday phrases, letter writing elements, clip a rt, etc. . Of course, all the traditional font and paragraph formatting commands are pres ent: - choice of typeface, font size, font color. A state of the art typeface previ ew. - bold, italic, underline, strikeout, double strikeout, superscript, subscript , small caps, all caps, shadow, outline, emboss, engrave. - choice of 17 underline styles; choice of underline color. - character spacing, scaling, kerning, vertical offset. - fully customizable tab stops. - left/right paragraph indent, first line indent and outdent. - spacing before/after paragraph, 6 types of interline spacing. - keep with next paragraph, keep intact, page break before, widow/orphan contr ol. - and plenty more, only a key press or mouse click away... . More than 20 fields are supported. The corresponding items are quickly inserte d and automatically updated by Atlantis. Fields make document and template creat ion very flexible. What's more, we have made sure that fields are not restricted to advanced user s: Using fields in Atlantis is child's play! . Words can be hyphenated across lines automatically or manually. . You can create newspaper-type columns, divide documents into sections, each section with its own page settings. . You have two graphic-type formatting modes to change font color and highlight text. You will use specific mouse pointers to format text in the same way as you wou ld with a paint brush. . But there is even more. Atlantis introduces a revolutionary approach to docume nt formatting with a Format Palette and Brush. Even the most complex formatting jobs can be done exclusively with a brush-like mouse cursor and a palette loaded with formattin g templates. You can use the Atlantis default palette or customize your own format palettes

in any way you like. . The Format Palette itself is only one of the instruments present on the Atlant is Control Board. The Atlantis Control Board brings together all the tools and commands that are required to create both simple and complex documents with the greatest of ease. Each panel of the Atlantis Control Board is dedicated to one specific characte ristic of the active document. You have separate overviews of the document Headings, Bookmarks, Sections, Styles, or Lists, with all the related commands directly available from each specific panel of the Control Board. Tools and commands to manage He adings are on hand on the "Headings" panel, tools and commands to manage Bookmarks ar e on hand on the "Bookmarks" panel. Etc. This gives you unequaled power and flexibility. . The AutoCorrect feature of Atlantis has fully customizable multilingual option s, and will dramatically simplify your word processing life. It combines flexibil ity with power for unparalleled control over the typing and formatting of documents. Some of the Atlantis AutoCorrect functions are still unheard-of in today's top-end word processors. Texts are proofread in the background "As-You-Type", or, optionally, when typi ng is complete. . A multilingual spellchecker will help you create documents with perfect langua ge. Spelling is checked "As-You-Type", or, again, optionally, when typing is compl ete. Original Atlantis Spellcheckers are available for 16 languages or dialects. And of course, you can create and augment as many custom dictionaries as you w ish. . Power Type is a typing assist adding unique functionality to Atlantis. Working in close cooperation with our proprietary spellchecker engine, Power Type collects statistical information about the texts that you type, creating a smart database of the words that you use most, but also of their us ual environment. When you start typing the same words again, Atlantis gives a warning sound, pops a small window up, and displays a list of words beginning with the same c haracters. But this is not all. The Atlantis Power Type has learning abilities. As time g oes by, the Power Type database gets smarter, and you will notice that the typing sugg estions are more and more appropriate. Of course, the Atlantis Power Type is invaluabl e for people with disabilities. But also for slow "one-finger" typists. . To improve the reading and understanding of the documents you create in Atlant is, you can add bookmarks, hyperlinks, table of contents to them. For example, Atlantis can build table of contents automatically at the press of a few keys. . All documents created in Atlantis can be "Saved As Web Page", i.e. saved as HT

ML. This will help owners of personal Web sites, and also e-book creators tremendo usly. . You will find comprehensive support for all types of lists, bulleted and numbe red, whether simple (one level) or outline (multilevel). Where numbered lists are c oncerned, we have placed the highest emphasis on reliability. You will design foolproof numbering schemes from simplest to most complex with the greatest of ease. And, uniquely, you will be able to fix the wrong numbering of lists created in other not so smart word processors. . Headers and footers are fully supported. And so are footnotes and endnotes. You can insert footnotes and/or endnotes, choosing from a wide range of differ ent reference marks. What's more, and quite uncommonly, you can configure footnote s and endnotes differently from one document section to the other. * THE INTERFACE IS FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE: .

You can have favorite fonts: Atlantis will automatically place them at the top of the font list. You can even choose to have a menu with your favorite fonts only. .

If you always click the same button (Yes, No, Ignore, etc) in such dialogs, you can save a custom default answer for each of them individually and de-activate the corresponding message dialog. Of course each of these confirmation messages can be re-activated on demand. . Do not worry if several persons share your PC: You can create individual desktop shortcuts so that each can have their own configuration of options to launch Atlantis with. .
