Papyrus OFFICE Features

Papyrus OFFICE 12.5 is a brand-new English-language release, incorporating all of the new features available in the current German version (a detailed list of the new features in Papyrus Version 12.5 is available here).

Here are some of the outstanding qualities which make Papyrus OFFICE different from competing office products:

  • Papyrus OFFICE offers integrated word-processing (Papyrus WORD) with a powerful database (Papyrus BASE). Database forms and generated reports are Papyrus WORD documents, and can be re-formatted with ease.

  • Similarly, form letters can be generated by combining a Papyrus WORD document with a Papyrus BASE database. This technique also permits automated literature indices for bibliographies.

  • Concise and efficient coding leaves Papyrus plenty of resources to manage huge documents (with thousands of pages!) and equally large numbers of embedded graphics, without requiring an over-dimensioned system.

  • Discontinuous text marks: with Papyrus, you can mark multiple (separate) regions in your document. With this feature, you can make parallel changes to separate regions all at once. You can even use "drag & drop" with discontinuous blocks.

  • Our full-text database search engine provides immediate results to a query, narrowing the answer with each change to the expression (even as you type each letter).

  • The "phonetic search" option gives you the ability to find names or other text in a database, even if you aren't sure of the correct spelling.

  • Non-modal dialogs: unlike most programs, Papyrus dialogs are "non-modal", meaning that the dialog does not need to be "closed" before you return to your text. Feel free to leave a frequently-used dialog open and ready for use while you continue to type. This also makes it possible to switch back and forth between dialogs when changing formatting or settings.

  • Papyrus BASE uses a reliable and robust XML-format to store data, allowing multiple (networked) users to operate on (and change) a single database all at the same time.

  • Papyrus OFFICE is a self-contained executable, permitting it to run even from (fast) removable media (such as USB-memory sticks).

Finally, parallel development of our own Papyrus code-library makes these features available on each supported operating system (currently: Apple Mac OS X and Windows 98-XP/Vista). We are committed to on-going development for Macintosh and Windows systems.

P.S. We are investigating a future Linux version (but no release date has been scheduled so far).
