What’s NEW in DavkaWriter Platinum 6

DavkaWriter Platinum 6 features more than 50 enhancements and improvements. Here are some of the major improvements and additions.

· Auto Spell Check
Check your spelling as you type, in Hebrew and English. Misspelled words are marked with a red line. Right-click on a misspelled word and a menu of suggestions and other options instantly appears. And if you are working with Tanach texts, DavkaWriter Platinum 6 will automatically accept their spelling.


DavkaWriter Platinum 6 flags misspelled words, and lets you
choose the correct entry.

· Macro Editor
DavkaWriter’s new macro editor simplifies complex and repetitive tasks, and provides you with the ability to automate many different aspects of word processing, from simple tasks to complex processes.


The macro editor can automate complex tasks—one click
does the trick!

· New Table Commands
DavkaWriter tables are now much more flexible with a host of new commands, including convert table to text, insert multiple rows, select whole cell, and select whole table.



· Table of Contents
Divide your document into "chapters", each with its own title in Hebrew or English. With the press of a button, create a table of contents listing all the chapters in the document, and the pages on which they start. Using multiple levels, you can create a table of contents for parts, chapters, and sections. Choose from a variety of impressive styles for the table-of-contents layout, or customize your own.

Create tables of contents automatically in a variety of styles, and jump instantly to any chapter.

· Chapter Titles in Headers
Add a "chapter title" into your header, and it will automatically update to reflect the current chapter in your document. That way, with just one header, you can have the title of the current chapter appear correctly on every page in your document. The header of every page can contain several updating items, such as the Parasha and the Perek, or the chapter and the author, in addition to the page number and other text you place in the header.

· Automatically duplicate and link multiple text boxes
DavkaWriter makes it easy to lay out an entire document with several texts, each in its own section of the page, flowing from page to page, for hundreds of pages, always occupying the same spot on each page. Just set up the positions of all your texts on the first page, using text boxes. Then, with "replicate text boxes", DavkaWriter will reproduce those boxes for as many pages as you want, all pre-linked together. Just drop in your text and you're done!

· Find in Files searches built-in text libraries
When you need to search one of DavkaWriter’s text libraries, such as Tanach, Mishnah or Siddur, or one of the libraries included with DavkaWriter Dimensions, Find in Files can be set to quickly search the selected library. It’s almost like having a mini-Judaic Classics Library within DavkaWriter!


Locate words and phrases in a flash in DavkaWriter’s built-in text libraries (and all other DavkaWriter files) with Find in File.

· Copy as Unicode
DavkaWriter Platinum 6 copies and pastes Hebrew text properly into most standard English programs, And now, with the added ‘Copy to Unicode’ feature for Unicode-compliant programs, it is even more versatile!

· Insert H with dot underneath
Ideal for writing in scholarly journals, DavkaWriter Platinum 6 enables easy addition of a dot underneath the English letter ‘h’ to signify the Hebrew letter ‘het’.

· Improved English thesaurus
Sharpen your English writing skills! DavkaWriter Platinum 6 includes an enhanced English thesaurus with 10,000 new definitions and usage examples.

Software Review
A Jewish word processor
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH
DavkaWriter Platinum 6

Rating: *****

Every article I write from home is composed on my DavkaWriter Platinum word processing program, and with this review I have graduated from version 5 to 6. Doesn't this look better? In actuality, you won't be able to see any difference on this page, which was created by newspaper production software but I quickly noticed more than 50 enhancements and improvements over version 5.

Most welcome is an auto-spellcheck that underlines unrecognized English and Hebrew words in red squiggly lines, making it unnecessary to click a button and endlessly press enter until you go over all the items and decide whether to correct them. In the new version, you just click the right mouse button over an unrecognized word, and a menu of spelling suggestions and other options pops up. Spell-checking also defaults to accepting all Hebrew words from the Bible, including both the full and short spellings. The new version also offers a much more comprehensive English dictionary and thesaurus (10,000 new definitions, usage examples for most words and pronunciation guides) as well as a Hebrew dictionary that translates any word when you press Shift-F7. As promised in the accompanying leaflet, my old files from version 5 were automatically stored during installation, and they reappeared in the directory without any effort on my part.

Another innovation is a new macro editor, which simplifies complex and repetitive tasks. Some useful sample macros are provided, and users can share macros with each other for even greater productivity. No printed user's manual comes with the disk, but it is unnecessary because the index Help menu is encyclopedic. An improved and easily accessible table menu can convert tables to text, insert multiple rows, select whole tables and easily carry out a variety of other commands.

This word processor can handle everything from short documents and memos to long articles and full-length books either in one language or combinations of the two, including boxes of text, footnotes, multiple columns, drop caps and graphic images. Another fresh feature for those writing a book or other long piece of work can divide a document into chapters, each with its own title in Hebrew or English. Then, with the press of a button, you can create a table of contents listing all the chapters in the document and the pages on which they begin.

Many of these features are available in Microsoft Word TM so why davka buy DavkaWriter? This product is a Hebrew word processor built from the ground up, not translated into and adapted for Hebrew. It thus offers many extras useful for people who frequently use Hebrew - “ including religious texts, including an integrated Bible, complete set of Mishnayot and the Siddur (Jewish prayer book), along with the option of purchasing other add-on texts such as a CD-ROM of the Pentateuch with Rashi commentary, the Passover Haggada, the High Holiday Mahzor and Slichot prayers.

In addition, you can can position nikud (Hebrew vowels) and trop (cantillation signs) properly so they don'€™t overlap and produce them colors different from the letters and in up to 80 fonts; make Hebrew or English concordance searches in religious texts, number pages, paragraphs and footnotes in Hebrew, and use a Jewish and/or Gregorian calendar written out in Hebrew. An archive of 250 Jewish photos and clipart images are on the disk and can be added to any text. Users who write for scholarly journals will appreciate the feature that enables easy addition of a dot underneath the English letter "h" to signify the Hebrew letter het.

Unlike DavkaWriter 6, Word does not offer a Yiddish keyboard option, toolbar and menu, phonetic and on-screen Hebrew keyboards, integrated export of files to PDF format or sorting of Hebrew words in alphabetical order. DavkaWriter is also cheaper than Bill Gates's product, which is sold here as part of a Microsoft Office package containing spreadsheet and other software that you may not need. So if you want a really Jewish word processing program, this is for you.
