PageFour

PageFour is a user-friendly application designed especially for novices and passionate writers to compose stories, general notations, or poems. It comes lightweight without unnecessary add-ons, like macros, tables, or diagrams to complicate your work even more.

The offered interface is accessible and neatly structured with the current and all notebooks panels that can be closed at any given time, for a less cluttered look. On the right, the editor is displayed along with its components, while in the upper part, the toolbar stacks the most common commands, for quicker access.

Optionally, the pages can be password protected, by enabling this action from the properties, and setting a new key from the Tools menu. Documents can be opened from the computer in DOC, RTF and TXT formats. Same types are applied for the Save function as well.

A useful option is the ability to have more than one notebook, which is shown on the left side of the window. There is nothing complicated about the process, just make a new journal, add as many sheets as necessary, and start typing.

Text can be pasted directly from the clipboard, or imported from another source. In addition to the standard format options (font types, colors, sizes, styles), it's possible to align the content, increase the indent, insert bullet/number lists, as well as take snapshots of ongoing chapters, useful for re-editing.

Similar to Notepad++, the Spelling feature lets you choose the corresponding dictionary from several ones to best fit your written style. Plus, the app enables you to add specific words to the ignore list, and find synonyms using Thesaurus as the main engine. From the Tools tab, you can lock the journal, change the password, import and export the books, and manage other additional settings.

The bottom line is that PageFour is a reliable and intuitive program that comes in handy especially for novices and professional writers to easily compose and structure their books, and protect their work from being modified.
