AmigaWriter

A very capable and simple to use Word Processor

The Professional Word Processor

Writing, processing and designing of text will always be a standard task for computers. The same goes for the Amiga. Although there are more and more voice recognition systems in use, this will only obviate typing text with the keyboard. Doing layout, correcting and printing continue to need the features of an excellent word processor.

Ease of use
It is incredibly easy with AmigaWriter to perform tasks like selecting a new font or defining the actual screen resolution. You won't have to struggle with badly designed requesters, no complicated mouse acrobatics are necessary to select paragraph formats. Cooperating with experienced users, we designed a superb graphic user interface concept that our developers then implemented. Things like WYSIWYG note editing be they at the end of the actual page, chapter or document will be standard, of course.

Amiga look and feel
The interface makes full use of the Amiga's multitasking capabilities. So nearly every requester is non-modal (that means you can leave it open while working on the document, other requesters, or the preferences windows). This is especially noticeable in the paragraph format dialogue. You can set tabulators by typing their values into a requester, or by clicking on the horizontal ruler of the document while leaving the requester opened. It's not everyday you get to have it both ways at the same time! Fast loading and saving of documents are also features that distinguish the Amiga.
