New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.3.3.0 (Jan 15, 2020)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor introduces the new Find/Replace panel of the Control Board. This panel can be used to search the active document or all open documents for text or formatting, review the results, and optionally replace them with new text or format them. Starting with this version, the "Find/Replace" panel is the default choice for various search operations. But if you prefer the traditional "Find/Replace" dialog instead, you can toggle the corresponding option in Atlantis.
  • This version also brings a whole array of bug fixes and minor improvements to various features of Atlantis Word Processor.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.3.2.0 (Oct 21, 2019)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor adds the line numbers feature

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.3.1.0 (Oct 4, 2019)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor introduces collapsible headings, the feature that will help you deal with

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.3.0.1 (Sep 18, 2019)

  • This version is a maintenance release with minor improvements and bug fixes, plus an important change to how Atlantis inserts new contents to a document.
  • In previous versions, when the inserted contents included bookmarks with names identical to existing bookmarks in the target document, the duplicate bookmarks were not inserted. As a result, not only some bookmarks were lost. If the inserted contents included hyperlinks or other references to the duplicate bookmarks, clicking those hyperlinks would also open a wrong document location.
  • When the new version encounters bookmarks with duplicate names within pasted contents, it automatically renames the duplicate bookmarks within pasted contents, and adjusts the pasted hyperlinks so that they get associated with new renamed bookmarks.
  • This change applies not only to the "Paste" Button image command, but to other commands and features of Atlantis that insert document fragments to the active document, namely the "Duplicate selection" Button image command, copy selection with drag & drop, the "Insert file" Button image command, the "Insert clip" Button image command of the Clip Library, the "Combine Into One Document" command, and insert files and clips from the file manager and other applications with drag & drop.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.3.0.0 (Sep 12, 2019)

  • With the new Fast navigation tool of Atlantis, you can quickly switch among the important locations of the currently open documents with a simple keyboard shortcut.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.11 (Feb 7, 2019)

  • Bug fixes:
  • When you select text with the mouse or keyboard, Atlantis can automatically highlight other instances of the selected text in the document window.
  • If you uncheck the Highlight Instances of the Selected Text option, Atlantis would stop highlighting instances of selected text. The feature can be reactivated on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog.
  • When the Exact Match option is unchecked, Atlantis doesn't distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters, and characters with diacritical marks and the corresponding base characters are considered as identical. When the option is checked, Atlantis reports only those instances that completely match the selected text. For more details, see the notes on the "Exact match" option of the the Find / Replace tool.
  • When The Enter Key Selects Highlighted Instances option is checked, you can quickly select all the highlighted instances as a multiple selection simply by pressing the Enter key. Otherwise, the highlighted instances can be selected by clicking the instance count hyperlink in the status bar.
  • When the Mouse Hover Previews option is checked, you can hover the mouse over the instance count hyperlink in the status bar.

  • Overtyping multiple selection
  • The multiple overtype mode is especially useful for populating table cells. If you select multiple table cells, like shown below:
  • Multiple selected cells
  • and start typing, the new text (in our case, "100%") would be automatically inserted to each of the selected cells:
  • Populating multiple cells
  • To terminate the multiple overtype mode, click anywhere in the document or press the Esc key.
  • Note: The multiple overtype feature is unavailable in the Lite version of Atlantis Word Processor.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.10.3 (Dec 10, 2018)

  • This version makes creating eBooks in the Kindle format easier. Previously, in order to enable creation of eBooks in the Kindle MOBI format in Atlantis you had to manually download the kindlegen utility from Amazon, and put it in the home folder of Atlantis on your PC. Now after you save a document as eBook, Atlantis checks if the kindlegen utility is available under the home folder of Atlantis. If not available, Atlantis might display the following message:
  • If you choose to download the kindlegen utility, the MOBI version of your eBook would be created automatically.
  • Now Atlantis checks not only its home folder ("C:Program FilesAtlantis" or "C:Program Files (x86)Atlantis") for the kindlegen utility, but also the "My documentsAtlantis" folder. The latter is more accessible to users on any system.
  • The kindlegen utility supports a number of command-line options. They can be used to control the MOBI generation. By default, Atlantis launches the kindlegen utility with no command-line options. But if you are familiar with the Windows Registry Editor utility (regedit), you can adjust the corresponding item of the Atlantis settings in the Windows Registry in order to add required kindlegen options:
  • Modifying a Registry value:
  • Let's take an example. By default, kindlegen puts a copy of the source EPUB ebook into the generated MOBI file. This is why your MOBI files are normally significatly larger than the corresponding EPUB files. If you do not need a copy of the source EPUB file in your MOBI eBook, you can add the "-dont_append_source" parameter to the KindleGen command-line of Atlantis in the Windows Registry:
  • The '-dont_append_source' parameter:
  • Important note: you should close all the running copies of Atlantis (if any) before editing the Atlantis settings in the Windows Registry.
  • Bug fixes (searching with wildcards and regular expressions, loading horizontal lines from .docx files, and more).

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.10.2 (Dec 5, 2018)

  • If a document contains footnotes or endnotes, Atlantis by default displays "note separators" - horizontal lines separating footnotes or endnotes from the rest of the document text
  • You can now disable display of footnote/endnote separators in a document. To do so, uncheck the new note-related options in the Sections panel of the Control Board
  • Changes to the portable mode of Atlantis. Now if the host USB flash drive is safely unmounted or unsafely removed from the system without proper unmounting while a portable copy of Atlantis is running, Atlantis automatically shuts itself down. If there are unsaved documents in Atlantis, it will prompt to save changes only when you unmount the flash drive properly.
  • Bug fixes (the Spotlight feature, the "Open DOCX" module, and more).

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.10.1 (Nov 20, 2018)

  • Bug fixes and amendments to the Spotlight feature.
  • Fixes to the vulnerabilities discovered by Cisco Talos this month.
  • The right-click menu of the Document Bar now includes a new "Sort Buttons" option:

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.10.0 (Nov 13, 2018)

  • The Spotlight is a view mode dimming out everything except the fragment of document you are working on
  • The distraction-free environment created by this mode is convenient for both editing and reading documents.
  • Note: The Spotlight feature is unavailable in the Lite version of Atlantis Word Processor.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.9.0 (Nov 5, 2018)

  • Default zoom:
  • When you save a formatted document (RTF, DOC, DOCX, or COD), its current zoom is also saved to the document file. Atlantis automatically applies the saved zoom the next time you open the same document. But you might wish not to use the zoom info stored in document files but always apply your preferred zoom. To do so, choose the "View | Zoom..." menu command, and click the new "Default..." button:
  • The 'Default...' button:
  • In "Default Zoom" dialog, check the "Always open documents with specified zoom" box, specify the desired zoom, then click OK:
  • The 'Default Zoom' dialog:
  • The AutoCorrect-related features
  • A new "Replace hyphens with horizontal line" option is now available in the "Tools | AutoCorrect Options..." dialog:
  • Replace hyphens with horizontal line:
  • When this option is checked, you can type 3 (or more) hyphens "-" in a blank paragraph, then press Enter to insert a horizontal line with default formatting. To specify the default formatting for horizontal lines, click the "Insert horizontal line" Button image button of the "Insert" toolbar, or choose the "Insert | Horizontal Line..." menu command. Then specify the desired formatting, and click the "Default..." button.
  • The "Replace With" pairs of the Atlantis AutoCorrect can be now edited in a plain text editor. Click the Save to File... button of the "AutoCorrect Options" dialog to export the pairs to a UTF-8 plain text file, modify the file in a plain text editor supporting the UTF-8 encoding, then click the Load from File... button to load the "Replace With" pairs from the plain text file back to Atlantis:

In the toolbar customization dialog, you can now choose from two toolbar styles: the default "tool bands" style, and the "classic toolbars" style. The classic toolbars of Atlantis contain multiple continuous rows of commands from different categories. Both toolbar styles can be customized in Atlantis individually.
  • This version of Atlantis also has a new "Quick Personalization" command under the "Tools" menu. You can use it to adjust the major configuration options of Atlantis in a simple and convenient way.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.2.0.0 Beta (Feb 14, 2018)

  • This version introduces the Index feature. An index lists the terms and topics discussed in a document and the pages on which they appear. You can now use Atlantis to generate an index in any of your documents. Before generating the index, you should insert index entries to your document. Index entries are special non-printable objects that are used by Atlantis to generate an index. Each index entry tells Atlantis to include a corresponding term or topic in the document's index. In order to create a new index entry, click the word or select the fragment that you want to include in your index. Then press Shift+Alt+X or click the "New index entry" button of the "Insert" toolbar.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.1.0 (Oct 25, 2017)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor introduces support for vertical toolbars. Vertically aligned toolbars will be useful on systems with wide screen displays providing you with more space for document contents. To enable vertically aligned toolbars, use the corresponding commands of the "View | Toolbars | Position" menu.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.0.0 (Oct 9, 2017)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor introduces customizable toolbars:
  • A new "Tools | Customize | Toolbars..." menu command opens the "Customize Toolbars" dialog where you can toggle individual toolbars on or off, resize toolbars, change the commands displayed on each individual toolbar, customize the background color of toolbars, and other options. By design, each toolbar can only host commands from its own category of commands. For example, only commands from the "File" category can be placed onto the "File" toolbar. However, Atlantis Word Processor 3.1 also includes 3 special toolbars which can host any commands from all categories of commands. These three "Custom 1", "Custom 2", and "Custom 3" toolbars are off by default. But if you enable them, you can put commands from any category on them. Here is an example with toolbar "Custom 1" enabled. All kind of toolbar customization are possible with these custom toolbars. You can even replicate the classic toolbar layout of older versions of Atlantis if you prefer it over the default toolbar design of Atlantis 3.x.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.0.2.0 (Sep 25, 2017)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor is a minor release with a new Document Bar-related view option. Now the Document Bar can be embedded in toolbars in order to provide more space for document contents.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.0.1.0 (Sep 6, 2017)

  • his version of Atlantis Word Processor is a minor release with new "autohide" option for toolbars:
  • Toolbars autohide:
  • When this option is enabled, the toolbars display over the other UI elements and the document contents only when you hover the mouse over the area close to the main menu and the title bar of the Atlantis window:
  • The "autohide" option provides more space for document contents compared to the permanently enabled toolbars.
  • Even when the "autohide" option is off, you can still access the toolbars under the Full Screen mode of Atlantis. Simply hover the mouse over the top of the screen.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 3.0.0.0 (Aug 25, 2017)

  • New GUI
  • Format Brush
  • Miscellaneous changes

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.6.0 (May 28, 2017)

  • New table navigation features.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.5.0 (Jan 25, 2017)

  • Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.5 with new "text to table" and "table to text" features has been released.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.4.0 (Dec 22, 2016)

  • Quick Tables:
  • The default set of toolbar commands of Atlantis includes a new "Insert table" button. Note: If you previously customized your Atlantis toolbars, this "Insert table" button might not appear on your Atlantis toolbars after updating to version 2.0.4. In this case, and if you want this button on your toolbars, you’ll need to take an extra step: you can either switch to the default toolbar configuration (click the "Restore Default" button in the "Tools | Toolbars..." dialog of Atlantis), or manually add the "Insert table" button to the desired location on the toolbars through the "Tools | Toolbars..." dialog.
  • Default table properties:
  • In older version of Atlantis Word Processor, newly created tables always had same default "built-in" properties (table width, cell margins, border width and color, etc). Starting with this version of Atlantis, you can specify how newly created tables should be formatted by default.
  • New method to create tables through keyboard:
  • This version of Atlantis introduces a new method to create tables. In a new blank paragraph, type tab characters separated with the "+" sign. Each "+" sign corresponds to a vertical table border. Each tab character (or a continuous sequence of tab characters) represents one table cell. So in the example above, 5 tab characters and 6 "+" signs indicate a table row with 5 cells. Pressing Enter after the last "+" sign, automatically converts the typed sequence to a table row with the corresponding number of cells and cell widths, ready for text input:

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.3.0 (Jul 31, 2016)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor is a minor release with lots of optimizations to various features and commands.
  • The document loading modules, the pagination and rendering engine, and many other components of Atlantis have been significantly reworked. The purpose of these changes was to make editing of bulky documents in Atlantis more fluent and convenient. If you work on large documents containing hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of pages, if your documents are rich in bookmarks, hyperlinks, fields, footnotes or endnotes, you will notice a significant improvement in the Atlantis performance.
  • The "File | Email" commands of Atlantis have also been completely reworked. They no longer require a Simple MAPI-compliant email client and will work with virtually any default email client installed on your system.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.2.0 (Jun 29, 2016)

  • Support for border colors and widths in tables

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.1.0 (May 16, 2016)

  • This version of Atlantis is a minor release with support for header rows in tables, and a new type of the Draft viewing mode:
  • Many tables have a header row with column headings. When a table spans several pages, you might want its header to be repeated at the top of each page. To do so, select the first row of the table, and check Repeat as header row at the top of each page in the "Table properties" dialog. In some tables, a header can include two rows, three rows or even more rows. To instruct Atlantis to repeat such a multiple-row header, first select the target rows, and check Repeat as header row at the top of each page in the "Table properties" dialog.
  • Note that enabling Repeat as header row at the top of each page for a table row is also instructing Atlantis to keep that row and the next on the same page.
  • A special version of the Draft viewing mode – the Draft view (wrap to window) mode – is introduced in this version of Atlantis as a separate viewing mode.
  • Unlike the traditional Draft view that displays document contents wrapped to the document page width. The Draft view (wrap to window) mode ignores the document page settings, and uses the entire width of the document window to wrap document contents. This new viewing mode can be activated through the main menu or the corresponding button in the vertical scrollbar of the document window.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 2.0.0.0 Beta (Mar 31, 2016)

  • This version of Atlantis adds support for tables. Note that the present beta version of Atlantis does not support the following table-related formatting options and features:
  • spacing between cells,
  • nested tables (tables within tables),
  • decorative border types and colors,
  • loading tables from ODT files.
  • A few new minor features and changes worth mentioning here:
  • The document selection color is now customizable (the "Colors" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog).
  • Customizable selection color.
  • The Click & Type feature has been removed.
  • Selecting text with the mouse has been improved. Even when the "Select whole words automatically" option is checked on the "Edit" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog, it is still possible to select words partially.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6.5 (Apr 30, 2015)

  • Automatic lists in eBooks:
  • Automatic lists (both bulleted and numbered) are supported in Atlantis documents and eBooks. When Atlantis saves a document as eBook, it tries to save any automatic list from the source document to an automatic HTML list (using the HTML "ul" and "ol" elements). Items of automatic lists in an Atlantis source document can be formatted in many different ways. Various indents, line spacing, paragraph alignments, etc. can be applied to list items. However, older versions of Atlantis did not save the formatting properties of these list items to eBooks. As a result, automatic lists in eBooks often looked very different from how they looked in the source documents. Starting with this version, Atlantis will preserve most of the original formatting of automatic lists to eBooks. These automatic lists will now display in eReaders in much the same way as they do in the source document.
  • Formatting of element selectors:
  • Any eBook file generated by Atlantis contains a CSS file with all the formatting patterns used to display the eBook contents. To make the eBook file more compact, Atlantis used to include the most common formatting properties found in the source document in the definitions of the element selectors of the eBook's CSS file. For example, when most paragraphs in the source document were center-aligned, Atlantis put the corresponding attributes in the definition of the "p" element selector in the eBook's CSS file: p {text-align: center}. This approach was perfectly valid. It led to a cleaner CSS and HTML code. But some eReaders did not expect certain types of formatting to be specified for the CSS element selectors. For instance, they might ignore the paragraph alignment or indents specified within the definitions of the CSS element selectors. As a result, the eBooks generated by Atlantis would not display as intended on such eReaders. In order to address this issue, this version of Atlantis no longer includes paragraph formatting attributes in the definitions of element selectors. Such formatting is included in more specific class selectors instead (".p1", ".p2", etc.).
  • Note-related options:
  • The "Save as eBook" dialog of Atlantis now includes two new options that can be used to control how Atlantis saves note references to eBooks. When "Number notes continuously" is checked, Atlantis ignores the numbering format used for the notes in the source document, and uses sequential numbering for the corresponding notes in the eBook. This option is on by default. Notes are not natively supported in EPUB eBooks. So continuous note numbering in eBooks is only natural because all the document notes are shifted together as ordinary text to the end of the eBooks. Notes in eBooks do not appear on the same pages as they appear in the corresponding source documents, so the original note numbering of the source documents rarely makes sense. However, in some cases, the original note numbering format of a source document might need to be preserved in the corresponding eBook. You will uncheck the "Number notes continuously" option for this purpose. Note reference marks are active areas in both the Atlantis source documents and the corresponding eBooks. This is to facilitate navigation between the note reference marks and the associated note texts. But most note reference marks are often too thin to be easily tapped (activated) on the eReaders with smaller screens. This is where the "Enclose note references in curly brackets" option comes in handy. When this option is checked, Atlantis puts an extra pair of brackets around the note reference marks to make them wider, and thus more easily tappable on eReader screens.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6.4 (Mar 10, 2015)

  • Better support for image-rich documents
  • Info section in the "Picture" dialog
  • Better pasting of images from Web browsers

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6.3 (Feb 4, 2015)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor is a minor release with a new Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style option in the "Paragraph format" dialog
  • Space between paragraphs is normally added by setting "space before" and "space after" in the "Paragraph format" dialog
  • When the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" option is enabled for two neighboring paragraphs, space between them is suppressed if both paragraphs belong to the same paragraph style

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6.2 (Dec 27, 2014)

  • Missing spellcheckers:
  • When you start editing a document, and the appropriate spellchecker is not yet installed or has been removed, Atlantis now automatically offers to install it.
  • Document text language:
  • As you know, document text must be associated with proper language or dialect to allow correct functioning of various tools of Atlantis (spellcheckers, AutoCorrect, Power Type, etc.) Atlantis could not help you detect and fix spelling errors without proper language marking. If, for example, a document contains French text, it must be marked as belonging to the French language so that Atlantis will use the French spellchecker to check that document. There are multiple scenarios when you might end up with document text marked as belonging to a wrong language or dialect. For instance, you might start typing text in a language different from the default language on your system: the newly-typed text will most likely get associated with the default language, i.e. with a wrong language marking. Web browsers also often send Web page text onto the Windows clipboard with wrong language marking. As a result, such clipboard contents get pasted with wrong language association in the target document. This version of Atlantis offers an automatic solution for such cases when a document is associated with a wrong language.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6.1 (Dec 27, 2013)

  • A minor release with a new "Factory settings" command

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.6 (Nov 11, 2013)

  • It is a minor release with a much improved "Find & Replace" feature.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.13 (May 30, 2013)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor adds support for creating Kindle (MOBI) eBooks from within Atlantis.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.12 (Apr 30, 2013)

  • This version of Atlantis Word Processor includes a number of minor fixes and improvements.
  • It introduces integration with the Hunspell spellcheck engine. All the proprietary spellcheckers of Atlantis (except English and French) have been replaced with the corresponding Hunspell-based spellcheckers.
  • Spellcheckers for new languages have been also added.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.12 Beta (Apr 9, 2013)

  • This version of Atlantis introduces integration with the Hunspell spellchecker.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.11 (Jan 7, 2013)

  • A fix to a problem with the "Insert | Picture..." dialog. It did not work correctly when there were multiple pictures selected in the document, and those pictures were of different sizes. Now you can also use this dialog to toggle the "Zoom to fit page" option for multiple selected pictures at one go.
  • Improvement to the "Edit | Copy" command of Atlantis. When a document selection contained pictures, the "Copy" command previously placed selected pictures onto the clipboard as Windows metafiles. Now when the "Save supercompact RTF documents" option is checked on the "Load / Save" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog of Atlantis, the "Copy" command places pictures onto the clipboard as PNGs or JPEGs. Thanks to this change, copying and pasting text fragments with pictures in Atlantis now works much faster and requires less system resources.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.10 (Jan 7, 2013)

  • In previous versions of Atlantis, any "big" picture found in a source document was automatically saved to EPUB "zoomed to fit page". Saved in this way, such pictures always filled the whole eReader screen regardless of its actual size so that they weren't cut off even on devices with smaller screens.
  • But there was no convenient user-friendly way to control which of the pictures from the source document should be saved to EPUB "zoomed to fit page". This has been addressed in this version of Atlantis.
  • All the pictures present in the source documents will now by default be saved to EPUB with their original dimensions (i.e. with no automatic zooming).
  • Even so, at times you might want some of the pictures in a source document to be displayed "zoomed to fit page" in the eReaders. To achieve this, you will need to give explicit instructions to Atlantis.
  • This release of Atlantis Word Processor introduces an important change regarding automatic bulleted and numbered lists.
  • Previously, bullets and automatically generated text of numbered lists were saved by Atlantis to EPUB as a static pre-rendered content.
  • From now on,
  • Bulleted lists will be saved to EPUB as standard XHTML automatic unordered lists.
  • Lists with automatic numbering will be saved to EPUB as standard XHTML automatic ordered lists. Note: this applies only to the "simpler" numbered lists that can be rendered in XHTML. Any other more complex numbered lists will still be saved to EPUB with static pre-rendered numbers (i.e. without automatic numbering).
  • In this way, most bulleted and numbered lists will display as "native" automatic lists in the eReaders. They will display with the default hanging indents and bullet pictures supported by the eReader used to view the EPUB file.
  • As you might know, eBooks in the EPUB format can be read on many eReaders. But one of the most popular eReaders - Amazon Kindle - does not support the EPUB format. Instead, Amazon Kindle uses its proprietary MOBI format for eBooks.
  • Atlantis Word Processor can convert any document to an eBook in the EPUB format. But before using an EPUB eBook on a Kindle device, you must convert it to the MOBI format.
  • There are multiple ways to do so. The simplest and most efficient way is through the Kindle Previewer, a free tool from Amazon. Just install Kindle Previewer to your PC, launch it, and open the EPUB file created in Atlantis through the "File | Open" menu command of the Kindle Previewer.
  • Now this release of Atlantis Word Processor includes a few changes to the "Save as eBook" command to make Atlantis EPUBs more "Kindle-friendly".
  • Some eReaders displayed unwanted first line indent in eBooks generated by Atlantis. This release of Atlantis includes a fix to this problem.
  • A change regarding fonts. In previous versions of Atlantis, the "Save as eBook" dialog included a simple "Embed fonts" check box. The old "Embed fonts" box has been replaced in this version of Atlantis with a new "Fonts" drop-down list box, allowing you to specify how Atlantis should save fonts from your source document to the eBook.
  • You have a choice of three options -
  • "Save, but don't embed" is the default option. When it is selected, all the font formatting found in the source document is saved to the eBook, but none of the corresponding font files get embedded into the eBook file. Let's take an example. If a source document contains a paragraph formatted with the "Times New Roman" font, the eBook file will include an instruction to eReaders that they should use the "Times New Roman" font to display the corresponding paragraph of the eBook. If the "Times New Roman" font is available in the eReader, it will use it to display that paragraph. Otherwise, the eReader will use a substitution font.
  • So, choosing this "Save, but don't embed" option in this new version of Atlantis is similar to leaving the "Embed fonts" box unchecked in previous versions of Atlantis.
  • When the "Save and embed" option is selected, all the font formatting from the source document is reflected in the eBook code, and the font files used in the source document are also included in the eBook file. In this way, all the font files required to display the eBook as faithfully to the original document as possible are available within the eBook file. eReaders supporting font embedding can then use the embedded fonts to display the eBook.
  • Font embedding does make eBook files much bigger, but it is an absolute must with documents containing texts in non-Western European languages. Many eReaders do not have fonts to display Cyrillic or Far-East Asian texts. By embedding the required fonts in an eBook file, it is possible to make eReaders display the eBook correctly.
  • You can click this button to specify which fonts you do not want to be embedded in the eBook. For example, you might wish not to embed common fonts like "Arial" or "Times New Roman" which most likely have similar equivalents available on eReaders.
  • Choosing this "Save and embed" option in this new version of Atlantis is similar to checking the "Embed fonts" box in previous versions of Atlantis.
  • "Don't save" (fonts) is a new option. It has no counterpart in previous versions of Atlantis. When it is selected, Atlantis saves absolutely no information about the fonts used in the source document to the eBook file. And obviously, no font file is embedded in the eBook either. As a consequence, the eReaders will automatically display such eBooks with their own default font. This option is preferable when the source document is formatted with a single font, or when you want the eReaders to display your eBooks with their own "default" settings. Some eReaders offer a choice of fonts for the display of eBooks. On such eReaders, an eBook generated with the "Don't save" (fonts) option in Atlantis will always display with the font chosen within the eReader.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.9 (Jun 29, 2012)

  • eBook-related changes:
  • When you created an eBook with a cover picture in previous versions of Atlantis, you had to place a portrait-oriented image in a dedicated paragraph at the beginning of the source document. Starting with this new release of Atlantis, specifying cover pictures for your eBooks will be much easier.
  • The "Save as eBook" dialog of Atlantis now has a new "Cover image" box.
  • When you save a document as eBook, Atlantis automatically identifies any picture located at the top of the document as a potential cover image. But the document might contain other images, and you might want to use one of them as the cover image of your eBook. You only need to choose the desired image from the "Cover image" drop-down list.
  • If the source document contains no image, or none that you'd like to use as a cover image, you can still use an external image from a drive on your system. For this, the "Cover image" drop-down includes a "Load from file..." command. Clicking this command allows you to choose a picture file from a folder on your system. Click "Open", and Atlantis will insert the selected picture at the top of the source document and mark it as the book cover image.
  • Now you might not want a cover picture for your eBook. In this case, you need to choose "(None)" from the same drop-down list. Note that choosing "(None)" in the above drop-down will not remove any of the pictures that might be present in the source document. Only the eBook generated from your document will be affected: it will include no information regarding a cover image.
  • An improvement to the "Save as eBook" command of Atlantis regarding notes. You can now save document notes to eBook as a separate chapter with a heading.
  • An improvement to the "Save as eBook" command of Atlantis regarding landscape-oriented images.
  • When a document contains an image whose width is greater than its height previous versions of Atlantis saved it to eBook with wrong proportions.
  • An improvement to the "Save as eBook" command of Atlantis. Page margins are now saved differently to eBooks.
  • The "Save as eBook" window has now a new "Save page margins" box.
  • When this box is unchecked, Atlantis saves no information about page margins to eBook. eReaders will display the eBook with their default page margins.
  • When the "Save page margins" box is checked, you can click the "Setup..." button to specify page margins for your eBook.
  • Left, right, top and bottom margins can be specified individually.
  • You have a choice of 6 different measurement units for page margins. But note that not all of them are supported by the most popular eReaders yet.
  • A bug fix to the "Save as eBook" command. The "cover" metadata was not saved correctly to the "content.opf" file of EPUB. This led to a poorer eBook preview in some eReaders.
  • A bug fix. Non-bold headings were not saved correctly to eBooks.
  • When saving a document as eBook, Atlantis in most cases adds a "Title page" item to the eBook's table of contents. This item points to the first paragraph in the eBook. Starting with this version, you can instruct Atlantis not to add that "Title page" item to the eBook's table of contents. All you need is to create a blank heading at the beginning of the source document, and format it with "strikeout".
  • An improvement to the "Save as eBook" command of Atlantis. Previously, Atlantis saved chapter headings to eBooks as ordinary paragraphs represented by the HTML tag. From now on, Atlantis will save chapter headings to eBooks as HTML elements (, , etc). Some eReaders (e.g. FBReader, Cool Reader and AlReader) specifically look for the elements in order to identify chapter headings and display them according to the user's preferences.
  • Miscellaneous changes:
  • An improvement to the "Save cursor position" feature (the "Load / Save" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog). Now Atlantis can save cursor position to documents in the DOC format too.
  • The "Use Document Folder" option on the "Load / Save" tab of the "Tools | Options..." dialog has been replaced with the "Suggest saving documents to" option.
  • Previously, when the "Use Document Folder" box was checked, and you called the "Open Document" or "Save Document As..." dialogs, Atlantis automatically opened your "Document Folder" for browsing. When this option was off, the most recent directory was opened for browsing.
  • The "Suggest saving documents to" option affects the "Save Document As..." dialog only. When you call the "Open Document" dialog, Atlantis automatically opens the most recent directory regardless of whether the "Suggest saving documents to" option is checked or not.
  • A change regarding the "Insert footnote with automatic reference mark" and "Insert endnote with automatic reference mark" commands.
  • Ctrl+Alt+F is a hot key to add a new footnote with automatic reference mark. A reference mark gets inserted at the current cursor position within the document main text, and the cursor is automatically placed within a new footnote. You can then type the note text. When you are done with typing the note text, you might wish to get back to the note reference mark, and resume typing document main text. Starting from this version of Atlantis Word Processor, you can press Ctrl+Alt+F one more time without leaving the note text, and the cursor will be placed right after the note reference mark in the document main text. You could then resume typing the document text without leaving the keyboard.
  • Ctrl+Alt+D, a hot key to insert a new endnote with automatic reference mark, now works in a similar way.
  • A bug fix. Custom (non-automatic) footnote and endnote reference marks consisting of multiple characters were loaded from RTF documents incorrectly.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.8 (Jan 16, 2012)

  • The "Minimize to system tray" command has been removed from Atlantis. The corresponding button displayed in the title bar of the main window of previous versions of Atlantis: It is no longer available in this new version of Atlantis.
  • The "Tools | Personal Settings..." command has been removed because Atlantis has now a fully-fledged support for systems with multiple user accounts in Windows.
  • Support for Windows 9x (95, 98, ME) and Windows NT 4 has been dropped. The minimal Windows version required to run the new version of Atlantis is Windows 2000.
  • Bug fixes: "style reference" fields did not display correctly in documents with footnotes/endnotes.
  • A more convenient way to close documents through the Document Bar of Atlantis has been implemented. Now when you hover over a document button, a small "x" button displays in the top right-hand corner of the button
  • User-specific files:
  • Starting with this release of Atlantis, most of the Atlantis files will be stored in a new location on your PC.
  • Removable drives:
  • This new version of Atlantis has improved support for removable drives

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.7 (Apr 23, 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.6 (Apr 16, 2011)

  • This 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.5 (Mar 24, 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.4 (Feb 24, 2011)

  • Navigation 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.3 (Nov 26, 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.2 (Sep 24, 2010)

  • Atlantis now saves page breaks from source documents to eBooks differently than previous versions of Atlantis.
  • Fallback fonts in eBooks.
  • Support for heading-less chapters in eBooks.
  • Support for portable fonts on a memory flash drive.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.5.0 (Jan 29, 2010)

  • This release of Atlantis Word Processor includes support for the OpenDocument (ODF) format, a number of improvements to the Save as eBook feature, plus other changes.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.4.3 (Nov 30, 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.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.4.2 (Sep 23, 2009)

  • This 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

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.4.0 (Jun 11, 2009)

  • It is a minor release with the "Save as eBook" feature.

New in Atlantis Word Processor 1.6.2.0 Build E6 Beta (Mar 25, 2009)
