EasyWriter

Professional Word Processor

 
     
EasyWriter Writing, processing and designing of text will always be a standard task for computers. The same goes with the Amiga. Although there are more and more voice recognition systems being used only typing the text with the keyboard will be skipped. Layouting, correcting and printing will continue to need the features of a excellent word processor.

The concept of EW
is based on boxes.
Those boxes can
have any contents.
Platform independent standards
EasyWriter will be the first word processor developed on Amiga that uses concepts and technologies of standard text systems from other platforms. The flexible expandability of a typical Amiga application will also be used in EasyWriter and allows to extend the functionality of it externally. Commercial-, shareware- and freeware-developers will add new loaders and savers for different text and image formats and expand EasyWriter with features being superior to the standard applications on other platforms.
     
Ease of use
It will be incredibly easy with EasyWriter to do easy tasks like selecting a new font or defining the actual screen resolution. You wont have to search in badly designed requesters, no big mouse movements necessary to select paragraph formats. Working together with experienced users we worked out a superb graphic user interface concept that our developers implemented consequently. Things like WYSIWYG when editing notes - be they at the end of the actual page, chapter or document - will be standard, of course.

Boxes are very
flexible. The color
of the border and the
background can
also be set.

     


You are able to
adjust the screen
geometry.
Amiga like
The interface makes proper and consequent use of the Amiga multitasking ability. So nearly every requester is non-modal, that means you can leave it open while working on the document or with other requesters and preferences windows. You can see this especially in the paragraph format dialog. You can set tabulators by typing their values into a requester or by clicking into the horizontal ruler of the document while leaving the requester opened. Not everywhere you will have both ways at the same time. Fast loading and saving of documents also is a feature that is mostly only seen on Amiga.
     
Full paragraph control
The paragraph requester will satisfy (nearly) all your wishes. Special features are: Connected chapter and page format and huge amount of options to set tabulators. You can create a paragraph format and set a chapter format for it. That eases formatting of floating text greatly. By applying the paragraph format you can not only change font settings and text alignment but also the look of the actual chapter. There is no easier automation than this one.

The paragraph formats
are the basis for
many powerful
functions.

     


You can have
more than one
master pages.
Page formats and chapter management
With EasyWriter you can create more than one page format - a feature not seen on many word processors. A page format can even be linked to a paragraph. You can use this for the chapters of a book to set different layout and text formatting options for them. You can set a page format in the paragraph format for beginning a chapter that can be different from the page format used for the list of contents.
     
Open for different image formats
Embedding and printing graphics is no longer a unique feature of desktop publishing programs, too. EasyWriter uses a flexible import interface. It can load graphics in the IFF and JPEG formats. But it is also able to use AmigaOS datatypes. So you can place pictures of the most exotic format in the text.
You will get used to EasyWriter immediately! You can learn to use it very easily. When you are used to work with other word processors you will have no problems at all.

The flexible
page numbering
makes is good for
any type of documents.
