Atlantis is the word processor I prefer to use. It's cleaner and leaner than Word and OpenOffice, and I like its interface better that some of the other low-cost word processors. Its primary fault is that it doesn't handle tables; for that, I switch to OpenOffice.
Rising Sun Software released an update to Atlantis this week, with the following new stuff. The one that excites me the most is numbered lists. That's because I use numbered lists as a quickway to count stuff, like the number of commands in AutoCAD.
Here's some of what's new:
- New Spellcheck Engine -- the previous one was too slow.
- Control Board -- might be useful for complex documents.
- Power Type -- I find these irritating.
- Lists -- finally, numbered lists!
- Multiple Selection -- could be useful for making formatting faster.
- New Color Palette -- no interest to me.
- Better support for pasting from Web browsers -- I trust this means preserving the formatting.
- New operations on fields and pictures -- I'll have to check this out.
