Supported Document Formats
Atlantis is able to open documents of the following document types:
- Rich Text Format documents (RTF)
- MS Word 6.0/95/97/2000 documents (DOC)
- MS Write documents (WRI)
- Windows ANSI plain text documents (TXT)
- MS DOS plain text documents (TXT)
Currently the RTF format is a default document format of Atlantis.
We decided to use this document format as the default Atlantis format due to many reasons. The main of them are:
- Many word processors working under different operating systems and on different platforms can read and write this format.
So, saving your document in RTF format, you should not worry whether the person to which you have to send your document, would be able to read your RTF document.
- At the moment there is the only version of RTF format (for example, there are different versions of MS Word document format).
So, any word processor – no matter its version – will be able to read your RTF document (you might be aware of numerous problems with MS Word documents – older versions of MS Word are not able to open documents produced with newer versions of MS Word).
So, by saving your documents in RTF format, you will avoid any problems with document format incompatibility.
But regardless the said above, we plan to add support for more document formats in the future.
Note that Atlantis does not currently support saving documents either in MS Word or MS Write formats. But you can still edit MS Word and MS Write documents.
Simply open the desired MS Word or MS Write document, modify it, and save it as RTF.
