Atlantis - Word Processor 1.6 review

THE ATLANTIS WORD PROCESSOR

The Atlantis Word Processor (AWP) is a long lost piece of software, discovered at the bottom of the ocean on an ancient computer which was probably fashioned by aliens; possibly the extra-terrestrials who originally populated Earth with human beings as part of a galactic reality TV experiment. It's either that or an alternative to Microsoft Word which comes with a month's free and fully functional trial.

The program, of which we reviewed version 1.6.4.3, is designed to be lightweight and quick loading, yet it isn't stripped down in terms of features. And AWP certainly fires itself up quickly, but more to the point it will load a large document like lightning. A megabyte-plus file that took around two seconds to load up under OpenOffice was literally instantly available upon clicking open in Atlantis. Most impressive.

As with many word processors, the presentation sticks very much to cloning Word; albeit an aged version of it in this case. The general interface layout and toolbar icons are familiar if dated, featuring three bars packed with icons including some slightly more obscure features such as an 'Insert current time' (in minutes, seconds and AM or PM) button.
