'Portable' mode (or their idea of it) will leave your documents and templates etc on the host computers. Here's talking from experience (I naively believed their portability claims and bought a license some time ago): But it needs to be installed to a portable device: Super simple sorting by the first letter in a paragraph (ascending / descending).Ability to select an entire word, sentence, paragraph, page, or section (love it)."Reduce picture colors" rather than dealing with lossy JPEG compression was a great addition.When you try to save an embedded image, it will suggest BMP format despite the program seeming to understand its a JPEG.Non-standard encryption ("COD" which can presumably only be opened by Atlantis).The Document Project functionality wasn't super obvious (see here.Couldn't figure out how to write documents without a margin a.k.a.Found their unique ribbon system difficult to navigate.The system requirements looks like every computer I've used for 15 years now. A fantastic antidote for the daily Word 2016 bulky sluggishness I have to wrestle with. Lightweight, fast, simple, and fairly intuitive.The document bar was pretty great, definitely better other tools I've seen such as tabs.Automation - supports wildcards (like Word) but not Regular Expressions (like every other editor).I really don't want to be restricted to just external devices to enable portability. ![]() Saving to a non-C:\ drive doesn't work, it still writes to AppData. Collaboration - not much here, doesn't support collaborative edition or change tracking.Doesn't support old (ala 1990s-era) MS Word files (you're still going to need LibreOffice) Compatibility - opened ODT fairly well, just okay when opening MS Office (some images showed up incorrectly).You can also export to ZIP, which cuts file size roughly in half. Formats - by default saves to RTF, and seems to do basic image compression, unlike other programs that save to RTF.Since a huge amount of my time and energy goes into word processing lately, I'm extremely interested. In short, a fast, simple, and slimmed down word processor with all the basics.

It has been a while since I used msWord, but I have been using Atlantis (ver 4.3.0.0) for a few months. I find it easier to search regular expressions and can construct much more powerful regex searches than in msWord.
