Hebrew Software for the word-processing challenged [Posted on 2007-01-25]
I have been using my DavkaWriter (Platinum 6) word processor every day since I received it. The ONLY reason I haven't rated it 5 out of 5 stars is that I have not found a mono-spacing option for the general text. It does have a mono-spaced typeface (DavidfixD) which does the trick for my immediate needs. However to be able to mono-space other faces by command would make this software package absolutely 'the top of the top!'.
But enough for the minor things. This software is a built from the ground up HEBREW word processor... no trying to get reverse direction by this or that coding option or macro, it's in there! And with the click of an arrow you can reverse direction or switch English to Hebrew - Hebrew to English. Not to mention the fact that included in the Platinum 6 is the Mishna, both a Sephardic and Ashkenazi Siddur and the complete Tanach. It has nikud options bar-none! And a real nice set of basic graphics in the package with the option of adding ones own. The package interfaces with WordPerfect according to the Company, though this I have not yet tried out. (WordPerfect 8 was the last version of a Corel product I attempted on my PC of the day... Had a real nice Hebrew font feature but it was a 'write it backspacing type trick).
Now the second reason it doesn't rate a 5th star... unfortunately the writer hashes the text with hidden text (processor commands and info) thus far my attempts to read the text I have saved in something like notepad for conversion into data for .wrl scripts has been a bit testy... to say the least. (this may be a processor/XP issue I do get error messages occasionally upon exiting the software)
BUT I should complain! eh? I find it all in all, for my research purposes and Hebrew word processing a wonderful tool! (I would still like to see a bit more options for file extensions and the mono-spacing feature availability for all fonts...). I am sure with enough time in on the software and working with its variety of nuances I may find workarounds or that I may have just overlooked some feature.
For my money... I would buy it again, and recommend it to all who need such software, hands down.
One P.S.: Check out the variety of Hebrew Fonts!!!
