Verbum is a simple, user friendly word processor that works with a wide selection of file formats. When working with Verbum, do not expect to find fancy ribbon menus or lots of tools, like in Microsoft Office. Verbum aims to be a clean, lightweight word processor with just the basic functionality, but which works perfectly fine for simple, everyday tasks. Verbum features the classic word processor interface, with an addition of tabs. When you would like to work on a single document without the clutter of the tabs, you can float (disconnect) the document from the main interface, by double-clicking on a tab or dragging it away from the tab bar. The interface can also easily be personalized by applying one of the many skins included.
So, what can Verbum do and what makes it different from other word processors?
No ribbons: Ribbons is a feature of the newest family of Microsoft software we love to hate. Verbum has no ribbons included, partly because we are forbidden to include them in a word processor and also because 50% of the population don't like it.
Tabbed document interface: A tabbed interface is not a new idea, but has proven to be extremely popular choice for a multi-document interface. In addition to documents being presented in tabs, an individual tab (document) can be disconnected from the main interface.
Skinable interface: Professional Office, Windows, Visual Studio and MAC skins and also some more playful themed based skins included.
Support a wide selection of file formats: Verbum supports rich text formats (.rtf), web archives and html files (.mht, .htm, .html), the old Microsoft Word documents (.doc), new Microsoft Word 2007 documents (.docx), Open Office Text Document Format (.odt), electronic publications (.epub) and of course text files (.txt).
