Atlantis Nova

Would you like to have a powerful word processor that would be capable of reading most MS Word formats and saving files in plain text or RTF? Would you care for a tool that took up a hundred times less space on your hard drive and wouldn't demand most of your computer's resources while running? If so, download and install the free Atlantis Nova.

Atlantis Nova is a word processor that has quite a bunch of useful features and has an extensive support for MS Word files. It reminds one of Word, surely - same toolbars that became a de-facto standard quite a while ago, almost the same working field with rulers etc. Of course, as the editor can only read DOC file formats and can save documents in rich or plain text files, it will never substitute MS Word. But in small features, ones that make your work with documents easy, Atlantis Nova surpasses its Microsoft prototype. There are plenty of toolbars so you don't have to choose items from the pull-down menu: you're always just a click away from making your text in subscript or, for example, capitalizing a text.

There's also a built-in calculator, a direct link to sending the current document by email and more. Download this powerful word processor and see that for yourself.

TextShield Fusion

TextShield is a free, compact word processor with a wealth of features. Besides those features available with most ordinary word processors, TextShield has many advanced (but easy-to-use) features. TextShield can compress files automatically using the popular ZIP compression, making them as much AS 95% smaller. TextShield saves files in the universal RTF format, or in plain text. TextShield is both a word processor and a plain text editor. For maximum interchangeability, TextShield has a build-in HTML converter and can save files as Microsoft Word, and other formats, using Microsoft converters. TextShield supports advanced formatting features, like hyperlinks, underlining styles, Rainbow Colors and even 3D Text. TextShield is compact and can easily fit a single 1.44Mb floppy disk (try installing Word on a floppy...). Finally all these features would be worthless without a good help system; So TextShield has a 6000 word help file explaining everything that could be difficult for the beginning user.
