The successor of WriteIt! 3 is finally here. After lots of time spent planning and collecting ideas I'd like to introduce my new Rich Text Editor,WriteIt! 4. It adds many new features that WriteIt! 3 had missing,it's sleek user interface is easy to use and its very flexible. New&improved features include: -Much better file format processing engine. -Full Screen Document editing. -Live word and character count. -HTML Syntax highlighting. -Line counter replaces old ruler. -Header support for printouts. -WriteIt! can now insert personal information into documents via the "Insert" menu, such as your name, e-mail or telephone number. -Much smaller (4MB) compared to WriteIt! 3 (50MB). -Lots of predefined templates you can use via the Template chooser. -In document search via a search field that's present in every document window.-Autosaving:If WriteIt! crashes or your computer looses power, WriteIt! will restore your previously edited document, if you saved it or not,it does not matter. -Share your documents with the world:In app support for document e-mailing, just enter a recipent and subject and send! -Supports many formats such as *doc,*docx *rtfd, *html and more! -The all new *write4 format now supports text + media! -WriteIt! 4 is universal, so it doesn't matter if you use a PowerPC based Mac or an Intel based one. ...and more!
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I found that Writeit! had a 'slow typing' characteristic or bug whereby the words appear some seconds after the keyboard action. It also tended to jump around on the page if editing was carried out.
Some good ideas but needs more polish and doesn't -- to me -- deliver anything really new.
The full-screen should be a welcome addition but it isn't well implemented â?? the lines go right across the full width, there is no increase in size and no adjustment of the type and background colours.
I couldn't find a way of zooming the regular view to a comfortable size, either
