Pros: Good

Cons: Not yet

Bottom Line: The greatest word processor available (BY FAR). Because it is FAST, takes just 1.4mb RAM upon launch, and does not include any bloated features that 99 percent of customers would never use. And don't believe the complaints about installation issues... Some folks are experiencing issues that are unrelated to the programme in question.

Pros: eBook conversion is great. The multitab interface. Very customizable.

Cons: There are only two language versions of the program - English and French. No way to translate the menus.

Bottom Line: Frequently updated, many interesting features. Fast, really fast. And very compact.

There's a free version of this software - Atlantis Word Processor Lite:

This is a great little word processor. However, it won't correctly do Avery label templates which is a deal killer for me. I bought it several years ago and used it for a bit and just tried the latest version. Would I rather have

Reviewing Version 1.6.5.5 - This is still one of the best word processors available. Tables would be nice and are apparently on the way.

Over a year since my last review. This is still a very good piece of software. It would be nice to have tables and to be able to wrap text around an image. Both are supposed to be coming but should be there now.

Compared to "Office Suites" this is lean and mean and just does the job.

I highly recommend Atlantis.

bobad reviewed v1.6.5.0 Beta 3 on Dec 30, 2009

Great! Very light, and just the features you need for an every day word processor. Has 95% of the features of WinWord with 5% of the bulk. I especially like the way it uses WordWeb thesaurus, and has an inline spell checker. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Great program. Love the recently added ability to create epub files for ebook readers. Much easier to use Atlantis for this than, say, Sigil or BookDesigner if you have a lot of formatting changes to make, what with Atlantis's excellent Styles implementation. This assumes you can get your source into Atlantis, which you usually can if you get creative. Output files work great on Sony and Hanlin ereaders (the only devices I have available). A friend of mine says they also look good on his iPod Touch using the Stanza reader program.

It's good to see a word processor actually developing new features to keep up with modern trends such as the rising popularity of ebooks, rather than just relying on poorly-written third-party plugins to do the job for them. Seems like a lot of word processors these days seems to be primarily interested in reshuffling their user interface.

Having looked at the mess of a UI (from the screenshot) I wasn't overly hopeful - seriously how to make a program look confusing - stick 1000 icons all over it.

I installed it nonetheless.. erm, it was... well it was ok. Not terrible, but not that good either. OK I didnt' test it thoroughly, but to be honest that was because it's so damn fugly - it's really horrible to use. I found use it, even in basic form, just.. lacking.. somehow.

If it was free, I'd say, ok, maybe it'd be worth hanging on to. But There are some pretty good freeware word processors already: Abiword, Openoffice (if you can stand the huge download) Heck, even wordpad is ok when there's nothing else.

Openoffice, is significantly better than this, Abiword is too, and Abiword is also a lot lot easier to use also. Openoffice & Abiword are portable, so I really can't find a reason why I'd ever use this. It's not good, it's not free and there are cheaper and better alternatives out there.

Sorry, to dis this, clearly there's a lot of work gone into it - but when there are good freeware apps out there shareware apps need to up their game and be significantly better. This, sadly, just isn't

Pros: very lightweight, you can even carry it on a pen drive.
Cons: I only went as far as finding one, but a big one: it is very incompatible with Word files. Compatibility is so bad that I found Wordpad to do a better job. So if I wanted something lightweight, I'd just use Wordpad, which is more compatible and you don't even have to worry abut carrying it around.
For the fun of it, I tried to open a 200 pages thesis, and it hanged. I thought it would just render the formatting poorly, but nope, instead it crashed. In other words, I had low expectations, and it failed to meet them.
So overall, not worth the money. Either use Wordpad if you want to save cash and not have to install a large package. And if you want the full blown compatibility with support for all bells and whistles, it looks like you'll still have to stick with MS Office.
I'll still keep an eye on it, but it looks like it will take some time before it can be properly usable. And when they do, I bet that they'll crank up the already high price tag, so I'm not holding my breath.

I've owned a copy of Atlantis for three or four years now. Why use bloat-ware like M$ Office or OOo if you only need word processing? If you need a spreadsheet as well the have a look at GS-Calc from Citadel-5 Software (http://www.citadel5.com/).

Atlantis is really good.

At this time in the game, at best it should be shareware/donation ware.
With Zoho, Google Docs, Jarte etc. who wants to pay that much for a fourth of an office suite?

Banquo reviewed v1.6.4.0 Beta on Jun 2, 2009

If this was free, I probably wouldn't use it because there are so many other free word processors out there that are more mature and well supported. However, charging $35 for this? LMAO, seriously that is hilarious.

JaDaDowntown reviewed v1.6.3 Beta on May 12, 2009

Why we need this? What's the point? The opensource community have a lot of good projects. Abiword, go-office (Novell's openoffice), Lotus (IBM's openoffice), OpenOffice and many another unique builds.
I give you one star.
My MS office 2007 works perfect (with crossover) on my openSUSE Linux Box.

kindbud1 reviewed v1.6.2 Beta on Mar 11, 2009

got money to burn? buy MS Office.

broke? use Open Office (or pirate the above)

but why in the hell would I pay 35 bucks for this? to avoid bloat? lol.

pjafrombbay reviewed v1.6.2 Beta on Mar 11, 2009

Aegis69 - Its better than AbiWord in one particular area at least - you can PRINT your document and it will look like what you typed! A much better comparison would have been OOo Writer.

Atlantis is a very good word processor. Sure you have to pay for it but if all you want is a word processor then you get that without all the OOo and MS Office bloat.

Highly recommended.

rbwyatt reviewed v1.6.0.0 Build 0b0 Beta on Nov 3, 2005

As a published author, I have been quite happy using Atlantis as my primary word processor. I have written a book and many articles with it. I find that bloatware programs tend to intrude themselves, getting in the way of the creative process. Atlantis never does that. The app is fast, light on system resources, and has a wonderful sense of whimsy with its sound effects. While it may not have all of Word's features, it has all the useful ones. Try it, you will be pleased.

yokozuna reviewed v1.5.4.7 Beta on Aug 31, 2005

The development of the program is very slooooow. The users of the program demand footnotes and tables (Atlantis Forum Index -> Feature Request Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2003 7:29 pm) but two years in not enough for the author. Shame on him!

Very good but it didnt but I still like word better. The 'replace' function for one. If it exists in Atlantis I didnt find it.

jungle! reviewed v1.5.3.0 on May 15, 2004

for myself, this is a flawless application which I have used for the last school year for my essays. It replaced Word for me completely. There is a free version on their download page, called Atlantis Nova, which is the best free word processor.

zridling reviewed v1.5.3.0 on May 14, 2004

It's hard not to like AOM, but I've found TextMaker (www.softmaker.de/tmw_en.htm) to be significantly better and TextMaker converts Word files almost flawlessly. Still, AOM is good if you're willing to settle, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

yokozuna reviewed v1.5.1.4 on Jan 19, 2004

I consider Atlantis as one of the best. I have to mention that I have to type every day, and I think that A. is a good, lightweight word processor. Of course, it does not have all the features of WordPerfect, but if you need something simple yet powerful Atlantis should become the editor of your choice.

alokesh reviewed v0.7 on May 13, 2001

The best word processor around(BY FAR). Because it is FAST, consumes only 1.4mb RAM on launch, and doesn't come with any bloated features which 99% of the users won't use. And don't go by comments posted on installation problems... Some people have problems which are unrelated to the software under question.

Hawkeye reviewed v0.7 on Jul 21, 2000

It's hard to rate a program that wouldn't even work. First the install though. I was asked to fill out a survey during setup, which is not uncommon, except this program forces you to do it. After filling in some fake info I continued setup and began getting errors. I seemed to be trying to copy files from my Windows folder, and couldn't because they were locked obviously. Then it finally asked me to restart my computer. Hello? All this for a word processor. Anyway after restarting it wouldn't work, probably because of the problems during setup. To make a long story short, this program needs a lot of work, and they need to stop forcing people to give them personal information. Two thumbs down on this down.
