LightWayText is a hybrid, reliable, and powerful text editor for multilingual word processing, having lots of nice features and great stability. It has the 'cross-platform' feature, and is available for any Mac and PC, with just one license.


What is amazing about LightWayText is its speed, the flexibility and the expansibility. With LightWayText, you will definitely get what Mac software should be; efficient, reliable, attractive and intuitive! LightWayText changes the idea of a 'Writer's Workshop' into a reality, usable widely from programming to various writing works. There are many ways to improve the appearance of the document; besides styles, there are decoration lines, the ability to change all paragraph indents or margins, to paste in PICT or JPEG images, and to create spreadsheet-like tables. LightWayText supports importing and exporting Rich Text Format files (RTF) and Unicode files (UTF8,16), and also possesses many Customization and Macro functions that will stimulate the creative minds of professionals. Even allows you to complex search with the 'Regular Expression' or the 'SEd script' in addition to the normal expression's search. Even a beginner can use it intuitively and easily, you will certainly find that LightWayText is convenient to use and follows those other easy to use Apple favourites! LightWayText-X is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

LightWayText ReviewIt gets better... - Version: 4.1.4, 6/7/2004 12:42AM PST

...and better. For relatively simple jobs that require mixed English and Japanese, I recommend LWT to students and others. Unfortunately, the lack of footnote/endnote features limits its utility for doing academic writing. I hope these features are added soon! I know, this application started life as a text editor (and a very good one at that) which suggests that footnotes and endnotes should not be expected, but it has since evolved to being more of a word processor.

LightWayText ReviewNice - Version: 4.1.3, 4/4/2004 08:57PM PST

This is a very clean and efficient bit of programming. It works very well and the macro features remind me of the best of TexEdit (which is really good!).
It handles and saves documents with 2-byte characters (Korean, Japanese, etc.) without a problem (unlike mellel!) and the price is good.

I look forward to seeing what else happens with this software.

LightWayText ReviewSo fast... - Version: 4.1.1, 11/11/2003 02:03PM PST

Something has to be said for the fact that this is BLAZINGLY fast. It is the anti-Word... zero bloat. In an age of inefficient programming and high-level APIs, this is one program that truly keeps it real.
