Me gustaría saber si es posible crear libros en español utilizando la interfaz de Atticus. He leído que Atticus solo admite la creación de libros en inglés, pero me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de crear libros en español. Muchas gracias!
This tutorial answered sooo many questions, but just to be sure, there is no page count on the right side iPad/kindle etc look, right? How do I know the page count on print copies?
This is a great question - I'm not sure. You may be able to submit a support ticket and ask there or see if there's already an answer: www.atticus.io/support/
Can you make a video on how to upload to kindle etc. I know there must be steps on their end to do it. I just bought Atticus. Love it, but it takes time to learn.
There is definitely a learning curve with a software with so many helpful features. To upload to kindle - you would download the proper version from Atticus (MOBI is a common file type for kindle) and upload to that file to Amazon directly where you publish
These are the font options available for atticus: www.atticus.io/fonts-available-within-atticus/ We don't see an option for columns within the software at this time, but looks like it may be on a list to add in the future.
I see when you scrolled on the right side, iPad look, that it is like a very long page. That is what is goi g on with my book. Is that the way it should be? I thought it would be different pages.
It depends on what reader is used for the iPad. With a kindle app, it would be pages. As-is on the iPad, the preview is just one long "page", it's meant for you to see the overall layout with margins/spacing/paragraphs and such. It's just a preview the best they can make for the size and format of it. When uploaded to amazon for kindle, it will be in pages
Print is far too small to see. Upload docs don't work. You have to type the entire book from the beginning. Nice formatting to see the final product but I don't want to start all over. Not for the visually impared.
I found Atticus not as easy as it touts. I have built my own websites and found Atticus' tutorials not helpful. Where are the tutorials from starting a uploaded finished book to the Atticus platform? I uploaded my Doc manuscript and it uploaded the entire manuscript as chapter one as I was told by Atticus Customer service a day latter.

I find this to be the MOST helpful tutorial for ATTICUS. Thank you Scott
Great tutorial. The best I have seen so far. I just purchased Atticus and am excited to get started.
What a neat piece of software.
Thank you for making this great video.

Thank you, new user and this was very well explained
Is there a find and replace function as the one in Word? I just realized I misspelled a word 81 chapters in.
Awesome video. Thank you. This is the exact software I need because I work exclusively on a PC.
Does Atticus work well for authors who use British or Canadian English? Or does its spellcheck constantly correct "colour" to "color", etc?
i hate this, always making me feel like i can't spell till I actually see the incorrect word
It does have British English option.
Can you add pages in the Front Matter? Like say I have a map I want to add to the beginning of the book.

I don't have an option for Ebook settings and the file skips my prologue when opened. How can I access those settings?
Does it have a split screen?
I am looking for software to write a poetry book and I was wondering if you also allow columns and uploading fonts?
These are the font options available for atticus: www.atticus.io/fonts-available-within-atticus/
We don't see an option for columns within the software at this time, but looks like it may be on a list to add in the future.
How long does it generally take you to format a 30,000 word non-fiction book with Atticus?
What Mac OS do you need for Atticus? I have High Sierra 10.13.6. Do I need to upgrade to Monterey or will High Sierra work?

Why is there two 'Chapter 1'?
Can I use the Atticus format to publish paper back books at Amazon?
I’d think so. Publishing paperback books is just uploading a pdf file, so as long as it exports to pdf you should be good to go.
Print is far too small to see. Upload docs don't work. You have to type the entire book from the beginning. Nice formatting to see the final product but I don't want to start all over. Not for the visually impared.

Atticus has a ‘divide chapter’ option which can help you divide that it into all your separate chapters.
