    OhMyGosh Atticus is EXCELLENT! I've used Scrivener for years, and it is STILL so cumbersome and difficult! I just bought Atticus, and just from playing with it a few minutes, and listening to some tutorials, I can see that this program is not written for Tech Nerds (like Scrivener is) but this is made for WRITERS-people who want to write, not spend hours trying to figure out how to make things work! I am so excited to get started! THANK YOU ATTICUS!

    I just bought Atticus a couple of days ago. I've wanted to try it out since it was first introduced, but never had the funds. I was almost going to go for WordPerfect since it has an eBook creator feature which I've used before--and then thought, why do that? For Less money, go get the program you REALLY want! I've been using Draft2Digita's formatting tool for ebooks, but it doesn't let you choose your own fonts, and there's very limited themes. Also, I don't like how their PDFs turn out. Atticus doesn't have all the fonts I'd love to be using for my kids' books, but I have way more choices than just Garamond which they use for everything. So, I'm happy. If there could be a preview of those fonts that are available, that would be helpful. Getting my middle grade novel ready to republish with a new cover and fresh edits. I want this time to be perfect as I'm going to do a print version finally!

    Can Atticus format books written in Apple Pages? Are there AI elements that help with image/cover creation?

    • @Kindlepreneur
      @Kindlepreneur Месяц назад

      You can write in Apple pages, but then when you're ready to import into Atticus, you'll need to save as a docx and upload that file. That's what I used to do when I didn't have Word...but now I just write my books in Atticus. As for AI elements, no. A big reason for this is that we want to make sure our system is not learning from authors work, and keep it safe. However, there are many programs that can integrate wth Atticus or you can use and copy and paste in.

    • @anitamshaw9967

      In the theme section of Atticus, look down the left side where all the formatting options are. Trim size is the last option. Click that and you'll find it. I wasn't looking left for a few things myself. Like how do I get rid of that drop cap? Pick Paragraph! So, left side pane, trim size is the last option listed! :)

      Full page images with bleed will need to be between chapters. You can insert a full page image that extends only to the margins within a chapter though. When you insert the image, if you edit it using the gear icon, you can set it to Separate Page. Just be sure to size it before importing. I hope that helps!

    how to change the words "Chapter" to "Capitulo" in Spanish?

    • @AtticusWriter
      @AtticusWriter 2 месяца назад

      Automated headings within Atticus (like automated chapter numbers) currently only appear in English. You can manually change the title and subtitle of any chapter/page in Atticus, but if you select Chapter Numbers to appear in the header, this text will be in English. You can either deselect Number Chapter Heading section of your custom theme on the formatting page so it doesn't show at all, or select the numeral only style under Chapter Number View (also in the Chapter Heading section) so it doesn't have the word, only the number. I hope that helps,
