Welcome to the official
homepage of TextShield, the advanced yet free word processor/text editor!
Short description: TextShield is a free, compact word processor with a wealth of features. Besides those features available with most ordinary word processors, TextShield has
many advanced (but easy-to-use) features. TextShield can compress files automatically using the popular ZIP compression, making them as much AS 95% smaller. TextShield saves files in the universal RTF format, or in plain text. TextShield is both a word processor and a plain text editor. For maximum interchangeability, TextShield has a build-in HTML converter and can save files as Microsoft Word, and other formats, using Microsoft converters. TextShield supports advanced formatting features, like hyperlinks, underlining styles, Rainbow Colors and even 3D Text. TextShield is compact and can easily fit a single 1.44Mb floppy disk (try installing Word on a floppy...). Finally all these features would be worthless without a good help system; So TextShield has a 6000 word help file explaining everything that could be difficult for the beginning user.
Version history: TextShield Fusion is the latest edition of the TextShield word processor.
Fusions main differences with the previous TextShield 2000 are its
stability, redesign of the interface, the ability to use Microsoft
converters, support of tab stops, true 3D Text, its compactness and the
advanced help files. If you're still using TextShield
2000, it is
highly recommended that you install TextShield Fusion.
Free:
TextShield Fusion
remains a totally free
word processor! You'll never have to pay for the version you
download. You won't pay in an indirect form either; TextShield is not
spyware or adware. It is real freeware.
However, it is quite expensive to maintain this project. That's why it
will be possible to make donations in the near future. It will be like
DonationWare then.
