I downloaded about 15 minutes ago and the program installed perfectly with win 7. Of course I have not had a chance to fully explore it but I have used the free version for years on and off. Looking forward to trialling this one. It will be especially useful for looking t .doc and .docx files.
cheers, Erik

Installed on Windows 7, 32 bit with no problem. The program does say it's activated before you input the name and key with a message to get the activation key etc from the website.

The program seems very complete with lots of tools to use. I particularly like how easy it is to select a black background with white text.

There is a lot of unused space on each side of the .txt file I loaded into it. But perhaps that can be changed? When I tried "zoom" the size of the text in my test file got larger and smaller but the unused space on either side of the main window stayed the same size.

It's a keeper from what I can tell from my quick check. Thanks to Atlantis and GOTD.

i downloaded this before and have totally loved it. i found it interesting that i couldn't give it a thumbs up...it was still there from the last time i downloaded. sooo...to the atlantis people..a solid thumbs up the second time around. i can't believe people are giving a thumbs down.

the one thing i totally wish the program could do, though, is to be able to create a pdf file.

i generally don't have issues with downloading. this time i really had a problem. the problem was that i didn't turn off my Avast antivirus. i saw that it said that in the beginning, and i kept looking for it when i finally downloaded, thinking it was in the comments section, to check which anti viruses were mentioned.

i uninstalled my old atlantis, thinking that was the issue. no. so i was freaking out that i had uninstalled a program I loved, and couldn't get the new one to install. obviously this was my fault. now i've lost my previous settings.

i would spend more time saying the reasons i love this program, but i am worn out from all the wasted time and drama i've just put myself through for no good reason.

all i have to say is..if you're wondering if you should download this, yes.

and turn off your anti virus if it is on their list.

Installed easily but site where you get activation info has crashed I guess. It just times out every time. I tried sending a message to their support people but no reply yet (been a few hours). Oh well.

Great WP thank you!

Please add Table Column: 'Autofit to contents' feature.

I submitted feedback (via the Leave Feedback procedure above) but it seems not to have been accepted ... "Gone to the great bit bucket in the sky" it seems, so here it is again:

It would be great to have a button or icon in the Menu Bar which when clicked would show/hide or expand/collapse the area atop the main work area of Atlantis Word Processor.

This would enable a useful extra slab of working area to be displayed for text editing, while the "ribbon" could be quickly redisplayed via a single click whenever you need it.

Perfect little program! Easy installation and registration as per the Readme file. Note, however, that it shows it's registered to you only when you click Help---> ABOUT. Thanks very much, GAOTD and Atlantis!

Forgot to add that I am running Windows 10 Home version 1703 on a 32-bit processor platform.

Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.1 downloaded fast, and installed quickly and easily on WIndows 10. (Possibly because I use Windows Defender, the installation wasn't blocked by anti-virus software.)

As specified on the readme.txt file, you open a registration page on the Atlantis website and submit your e-mail address. A most pleasant surprise is that the registration details are displayed in the web browser, you don't have to wait for an e-mail to be sent. Excellent!

And it works well for common word processing tasks.

I cannot install Atlantis Word Processor from this giveaway. I am getting a Windows denial with the message that this app cannot run on my computer and I need to contact the publisher for an updated version. Firewall and anti-virus were disabled. Please provide a remedy.

The registration link appears to no longer accepting email addresses. I have tried 2 different email addresses to get the registration info and have not received an email at either address nor have I seen any registration info on the page after clicking Submit. Has the publisher stopped the giveaway early?

Wow! This is a great editor! I have to admit, I just gave it a very brief evaluation, but I like the interface and the overall usability. Im not writing much, but this is a keeper - and time will prove if it can compete with LibreOffice.

Setup and registration process went smooth as silk and it looks like a great piece of work. My only suggestion would be to express the space requirements in MB instead of KB; I initially thought the consumption for the base package itself was going to be 3+ GB and I excluded the clip-art to save what I thought was an extra GB in space. Oops! That having been said, the installation took literally seconds and I'm extremely impressed at how little space is consumed. Microsoft could learn something from this.

a really strong and powerful word processor. Thank you for this giveaway

This is a superb word processor, thanks!

Says "the destination file could not be created." Set up will not run

I've been using V2 since last giveaway and was ready to buy V3 when I saw todays giveaway. Here's my experience.

PROS
Painless install.
Tabbed interface
Program opens with tabs right where you left them. This is HUGE for me.

CONS
It's great for most tasks, but not writing a book. It can't handle different headers and footers for each chapter. Made me nuts until I found out what was going on.

Hah! First thing I tried was the symbols,... easier to see symbols character map popped up!!! You got me!!! Thanks Atlantis and Giveaway!!

This is a special build created just for this giveaway. The registration details will not work with any other build, including the trial downloadable from their site, that is why it is protected with the setup.exe/gcd wrapper. So please do read the entire readme.txt supplied in the downloaded zip bundle and do always extract all the zip contents to a single seperate folder before running setup,exe and if the readme.txt instructions do not work for you then try rebooting into safe mode with network support and try again.

Note installing this version will silently uninstall the previous giveaway version so backup the old folders before installing this if you want to retain both and don't have a portable version of the previous version which will not be touched by this.

Downloaded, installed and registered quickly and easily. Installed on a Flash Drive. Absolutely hate the big, wide, ribbon toolbar.
Will be changing that straight away. Great little Word Processor. Have used this before and always liked. Thank you GOTD and Atlantis. Just what I needed. Windows 8.1

The setup does not start, only the activation and the GOTD Website afte activation.
I had a earlier version. I deinstalled this now, but that did not help. Now I have nothing. that is stupid

Having given it a brief try, I am impressed by Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.1. Its basic no frills layout is easy to use and offers numerous word processing options you might find in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice. I think this software would be good for experienced Word Processor users and beginners willing to explore.

It handily includes an option to install the program to a removable drive, under the Tools section.

So far, I cannot see anything that I would need in a Word Processor that is not offered. It allows the addition of fields such as file path, page numbers, date saved and options such as inserting tables, columns and hyperlinks and numerous other useful actions.

It has a spellchecker and Power Type which is a predictive text option and it can scan for overly used words, repetitions and overly long sentences. I have a few in this comment and it has spotted them.

It offers to save in Rich Text Format, Microsoft Word doc and docx, plain text and Encrypted Docs .cod, which makes the documents created here compatible with a lot of other software.

I tested its compatibility with a previously made document, using a LibreOffice .odt file and it had no problem opening it quickly and it looked the same as when created in LibreOffice. This level of compatibility is a big plus for me.

It has a default sound setting, reminiscent of the old typewriter. The sounds can be easily customized. The sound it makes when it thinks you have made a typing mistake is an annoying meow sound. Either it will help me to improve my typing or the sound will be changed if it gets too much.

I started typing this comment within the browser, and the page mysteriously skipped and lost the comments while I was still typing. I started again and realised that it would be a lot easier to write the comment using Atlantis Word Processor and paste it in, as the browser comment box is not extendable as I write. So I am hearing each letter keyed as if typed on a typewriter, including the end of line ping and not many meows which is good.

I had difficulty installing this program, as it would seem to be responding to my install request and then would not install and gave no indication of a problem. I tried numerous times and in the end rebooted my computer and it then worked. I am glad I gave this one last try.

When I registered Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.1 it showed as unregistered until I closed the program and reopened it. It now shows the registration email in Help/About.

Having had a little play with it today, I think this is a good Word Processor to use and at the very least would make a good backup. Having lately been experiencing hanging and crashing with LibreOffice, the speed and simplicity of Atlantis Word Processor 3.1.1 makes it an attractive option.

It is MS Word alternative? or InDesign alternative?

Does this Giveaway include any updates? If I update the software in the future will it disable my activation and make the software trial again?

I have been using a older version from GOTD and love it. Installed and updated my old version easily and quickly without having to uninstall the older version. I like that it will read word doc which is why I got the original.

Every time I have a GOTD as indicates a .gcd file--I copy files to another folder! This used to be normal "instructions", being included...always? Anyhow--once, done, and, within that...new folder--the GOTD icon changes...color (to golden upon my computer on the Setup file)!! I...believe (not certain) that copying THEN-CONNECTS that file towards...GOTD: as results in it's "availability" response window...back, again. (I'd recently used prior Atlantis this...morning--not getting this upgrade to...work: since atlantis.exe was still being "used", and, hence...RESTARTED my computer!!! Install...worked, thusly.)

Atlantis Word Processor is great...loads fast...has everything the average person needs.
I also have Libre Office installed...but this is my go to.

Gotta admit..still thoroughly amazed at the number of whiners who can't read...then complain about not being able to install GOTD software..

I use Atlantis Word Processor daily for a journal-style entry from a template. It's small, fast, and simply gets the job done. It's a no-hassle powerhouse and I can't imagine not having it in my software arsenal. Very grateful to GOTD and AW for the availability of this excellent product.

I'm with kalmly below (comment #12) about the "ribbon" style toolbar. Some find it visually appealing and convenient, others visually obnoxious and cluttered. I'm with the latter group. MANY THANKS to Atlantis Word for the easy video on customization options (although the video is way too long -- 6 minutes? We get it after a few clicks).

Installed easily (safe mode) and registered quickly on Win8.

The setup don't work

I see they've changed the UI to something "ribbon" like. Does anyone know if the classic view is an option or would I be stuck with the screen-hogging ribbon?

I would really like this as I lost the previous giveaway when I got a new PC, but like some others the setup file only runs the GAOTD registration window, the software doesn't install

Hello

The setup.exe works just fine now.
Avast wasn't desabled properly...

Thanks,
Laurent

Hello,

The setup.exe doesn't want to run. (Windows 7)
Even "as an administrator" and with avast desable

So please, could you help me ? Thanks a lot
Best Regards,
Laurent O.

Everything you'll probably need in a word processor on the smallest footprint. Excellent piece of software.

I have just installed Atlantis (12.26 UK Time). The software downloaded, installed and registered without any problems at all. Couldn't have been any easier. It appears reading the comments below there may have been some issues earlier, but what ever it was, it seems to be sorted now.

Great stand-a-lone processor. I was on version 1 until now. Not sure about the "modern" gui but hey we move on! Well worth the download

Hi, Atlantis Word Processor is a decent piece of Software, small enough to keep any previous versions on different locations on PC. This latest version (3.1.1) went onto my external Drive (best practice is to create Folder beforehand and install Software there, to be sure all Content stays in one place) Registration couldn't have been easier!:) (for once..)

AWP 3.1.1 has pleasant and much more modern GUI than past versions, same fabulous list of Fonts, Word Count and the rest of Features to create simple or reach Text, whether it is 'ambitious' e-book piece, or something used when composing e-mails, e-cards a.s.o (copy/paste directly from Atlantis) Help is available on Atlantis website, just tap what you're looking for. Good, easy, friendly Tool! Thanks.

Same problem as with other giveaway programs lately. It registers but does not install. I've had this problem since upgrading to windows 10. Installs fine from the Atlantis homepage but then it won't accept the GAOTD registration key.
I'll try the 30 day trial and see if it is worth buying.

Alright I have an issue. Had a previous version installed I had downloaded from GOTD in March. Decided to uninstall that version before installing this version. When I went to install this new version the installer froze and won't install the new version but it takes me to the web page that says successfully installed which it isn't..Any suggestions?

Getting a little disillusioned with these giveaways as i cannot get the software loaded It looked and possibly is a fantastic piece off software if you could actually get it to install

Installed without problem in both the desktop and portable versions. Works well and I can see it being well used as I don't like Word and this offers all I need day to day. Thank you Atlantis and GAOTD.

I prefer to stay with my slightly older, but portable version.
