Need more convincing?Mariner Write has been:
• awarded Best Word Processor in MacDirectory's 2006 iWards (beating out MS Word and the rest!)
• touted as one of the "best alternatives to Microsoft Word" in MacWorld Magazine.
• named "the world's fastest Mac word processor" by industry testing group, Bare Feats.
Do you have style?A word processor's styles feature can help you keep your document's formatting looking professional and consistent. Unfortunately, most word processors make this feature so difficult to manage that many users can't take advantage of it.
Mariner Write is different.
Styles are easy to set up and adjust and are significantly less awkward and complex than in MS Word. Write even includes such essential features as the ability to define which style follows the current one, in addition to tabs, bullets, and virtually everything else. You can also give styles a shortcut key, which makes the whole process quicker.
Flexibility is the name of the gameMariner Write offers all the flexibility that even the most advanced users need. The "Menu" tab in the preferences panel provides many options for keyboard shortcuts, essential for those who work with repeated tasks, and wish to spare their wrists from repetitive mouse movements. Customizing the tool bar gives you the ability to work in the environment YOU want to see.
Man cannot live on Word aloneIn this Microsoft-dominated world, many people have the misconception that without Word (and Excel) you will be isolated, like some sort of leper on a deserted island!
That is simply not the case.
Mariner Write opens and edits Microsoft Word documents. Text documents open flawlessly, allowing the ability to edit and save in one of several formats including Rich Text, which can be opened in Microsoft Word or PDF, which, in turn, can be opened by Adobe Reader.
Plays nice with othersMariner Write also works flawlessly with its sister product, Mariner Calc, our Mac OS X spreadsheet. That, together with Mariner Write, is bundled as the MarinerPak. We have streamlined Write and Calc to include only the "necessary" features. The features that won't get in the way of getting your work done. Features you will actually use. And yes, we read Word and Excel files, so your friends and colleagues can send you files. The MarinerPak is a fraction of the cost of Office yet offers around 70% of the Word and Excel feature set that you need. See a cross section here...
