April 23rd, 2011· This version of Atlantis Word Processor is a micro-update with a critical bug fix to the Save as eBook feature: Atlantis displayed errors when saving certain documents as eBook.
April 16th, 2011This version of Atlantis Word Processor is a micro-update with critical bug fixes to the "Open DOCX" module of Atlantis:
· Atlantis did not load DOCX documents with footnotes correctly.
· Atlantis did not load the "Do not hyphenate" paragraph formatting from documents in the DOCX format.
March 24th, 2011· Bug fix: the Batch conversion tool of Atlantis displayed errors when converting certain documents with manual page breaks to the EPUB format.
· Bug fix: the "Previous page"/"Next page" commands of the Navigation tool did not bring the caret into view when there was a selection in the document.
· Improvement regarding pictures in certain RTF documents (the issue was discussed on the Atlantis Word Processor Forum – click here for details).
· Improvement to the "Open DOCX" module of Atlantis: when a DOCX document contains links to external pictures, Atlantis now tries to load those external pictures and embed them into the document.
· Change related to the Atlantis Help. From now on, whenever you try to access a Help topic from within Atlantis, and the Help file is missing from the home folder of Atlantis (this can happen if you instructed Atlantis not to install the Help file during setup), Atlantis will try to display the topic in its Online Help. So, if your computer is permanently connected to the Internet, you might just as well not install the Atlantis offline Help on your local hard disk during setup, and rely on the Online Help exclusively.
· Change to the Save as Web page feature. Previously, when Atlantis saved a document as a Web page, it always saved the original font color and underline formatting of the hyperlinks as is. As a result, the hyperlinks present in the HTML files produced by Atlantis displayed with their preset formatting in the Web browsers, and the custom formatting for hyperlinks specified in the Web browser options was ignored.
· From now on, Atlantis will behave differently in this respect. The original font color and underline formatting of hyperlinks formatted with the Atlantis "default formatting for hyperlinks" will not be saved to the Web pages Atlantis outputs. Accordingly, these Web pages will display with the browser's own default behavior regarding hyperlink formatting.
February 24th, 2011Navigation tool:
· You will use this Navigation tool to browse for document objects in a straight and convenient way.
A new "Select browse object" button is available at the bottom of the vertical scrollbar in the document window:
When you have chosen an object of interest, you can use the related "Previous" and "Next" buttons to navigate to the closest instances of the chosen object in the backward or forward direction. These "Previous" and "Next" buttons are located right above and below the "Select browse object" button respectively:
· The "Previous" button scans the document in the backward direction starting from the current caret position. The "Next" button scans the document in the forward direction starting from the current caret position. Alternatively, you could use the corresponding hot keys, "Ctrl+PgUp" for the "Previous" object, "Ctrl+PgDn" for the "Next" object. Each found object is automatically brought into view.
eBook-related changes:
· Bug in the "Save as eBook" feature fixed: line spacing was not always saved to eBook files correctly.
· Changes to the "Save as eBook" feature: scalability of Atlantis EPUBs improved by switching to the "em" measurement unit in the CSS file.
· Improvement to the "Save as eBook" feature: when a document contains multiple instances of the same image, now only one graphic file is saved for all the instances to the eBook file.
Miscellaneous changes:
· The "Find" feature of Atlantis can now search for "any highlight color". If you check the "Format" box below the "Find" edit box in the "Find / Replace" dialog.
· Previously you could search for text fragments formatted with individual highlight colors only.
· "Iconless" commands are now displayed differently on Atlantis toolbars. In previous versions of Atlantis, "iconless" commands were displayed as long buttons with text captions.
· A hot key can be now assigned to the "Add to dictionary" command. By associating a hot key with this command, you could add red-underlined words in the document to the spellcheck dictionary without leaving the keyboard.
To assign a hot key to the "Add to dictionary command", choose the "Tools | Hot Keys..." menu command of Atlantis. The "Add to dictionary command" is available under the "Tools" category:
· Click in the "New hot key" box, press the desired hot key (on the below screen capture - "Alt+A"), click the "Assign" button, then the "OK" button.
· After this whenever you need to add a red-underlined word (a word flagged by the spellchecker as misspelt) to the spellcheck dictionary, you could place the caret anywhere within that word.
· The spellchecker now supports much longer phrases in its dictionaries. The spellchecker in previous versions of Atlantis did not support phrases longer than 4 words. Now you can add much longer phrases (up to 12 words and up to 63 characters including space characters).
· Click here for more information on adding phrases to the spellchecker dictionary of Atlantis.
· A new "Convert to manual list" command has been added. If you right-click any automatic list (either bulleted or numbered) in a document, and choose the "Convert to Manual List" command.
· The automatic list gets converted to a manual list. Automatic numbers and bullets get replaced with normal "editable" text. A list with manual numbers or bullets can be then copied to other applications which do not support automatic lists, or saved to a plain text file.
· A limitation regarding maximum page margin size in Atlantis documents has been lifted. Previously Atlantis did not allow page margins larger than 40% of page width/height. From now on, you can use page margins of any size.
· A minor change has been made to the "Capitalize first letter of sentences" option of the AutoCorrect tool of Atlantis. Now the AutoCorrect does not capitalize first letter following ?" or !". In most cases, text terminated with ? or ! and enclosed between quotation marks, is a direct speech not a quotation.
· Improvements to the MS Word DOC document format support in Atlantis.
· Previously Atlantis did not load the "Comments" item of document properties from existing DOC files generated by MS Word.
Also if you added "Comments" to a document in the "File | Properties..." dialog of Atlantis:
· Bug in the "Overused words" feature fixed: inflected forms of words were not grouped correctly.
· A bug regarding the "Shrink page count" command has been fixed. Due to that bug, the "Shrink page count" command was permanently disabled (greyed out) in Atlantis.
· A Windows Vista / Windows 7 -related glitch has been fixed. Under the Aero theme, the current document line, in some cases, displayed partially off the document window.
· A bug related to the typewriter sounds of Atlantis and its default ("Basic") sound scheme has been fixed. When typing fast, not every key press generated a typewriter sound.
November 26th, 2010· When a document is in the "Print Layout" view mode ("Print Layout" is checked in the "View" main menu), you can now save screen space by hiding the blank areas at the top and bottom of each page, and the space between the pages.
September 24th, 2010· Atlantis now saves page breaks from source documents to eBooks differently than previous versions of Atlantis.

November 30th, 2009· Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.4.3 introduces a new feature "Overlong sentences", plus a number of improvements to the "Save as eBook" feature, and other changes and fixes.
September 23rd, 2009This version of Atlantis has a number of amendments to the Save as eBook feature:
· Multilevel tables of contents are now supported in eBooks. Previously, Atlantis included only "Heading 1" paragraphs in the Table Of Contents that it saved to EPUB files. All Heading-style paragraphs from the source documents are now included so that the EPUB Tables Of Contents display as a multilevel hierarchy whenever applicable.
· Manual page breaks in a source document are now correctly saved to eBooks.
· Support for "very long" topics in eBooks has been added. Some eBook readers are unable to display eBooks with very long topics. Atlantis now automatically splits overlong topics into multiple XHTML files within the EPUB package.
· Characters from so called "symbol fonts" (Symbol, Webdings, Wingdings, etc) are now saved by Atlantis to EPUBs as graphic files. In this way these characters display correctly on any eBook reader.
· Atlantis now "remembers" the so called metadata (basic information about a book: Book Title, Author, Identifier, etc) entered for each document when you save it as eBook. If you decide to resave your document as eBook, Atlantis will automatically suggest the last used metadata.
· More fields (Publisher, Coverage, Rights, Price, Publication Date) have been added to the "Save as eBook" dialog of Atlantis
