Babya Introduces Babya E-Type for Intel Macs

Queensland, Australia, June 15, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Babya today introduced the first Mac version of Babya E-Type-Babya's word processor with a incredible sense of style, featuring powerful PDF creation.

Babya E-Type for Mac is a powerful word processor with an incredible sense of style, allowing you to create stylish documents with multiple-language support and easy HTML page creation.

You can export documents to PDF natively, without the need for Adobe Acrobat. Also, Microsoft Word documents can be easily imported, edited and saved back to Word or Word XML formats.

Other features include:
• Babya E-Type is a universal binary-meaning that it be can be run on both PowerPC & Intel based Macs.
Babya E-Type now uses new NSError and NSAlert facilities to put up better error messages on failed file system operations.
• Babya E-Type now has a preference to enable the use of the new Cocoa feature to auto-number printed pages. Although the feature enables sophisticated customization of the headers and footers by the application, Babya E-Type just uses the default format.
• The new "Document Properties" panel enables setting properties such as author, company, comment, etc. The fields in the panel are hooked up to the document via bindings, and are imported by the Spotlight text importer for easy searching. The preferences panel has fields where you can specify default values for properties (for which default values are appropriate).
• Babya E-Type can now save WordML, HTML, and Safari WebArchive documents. In the preferences panel you can specify a number of options for controlling the type of HTML that is generated.
• Babya E-Type has a few menu items to support new text system features such as tables, lists, and link editing panel. Other than the new menu items, these features are pretty much free for Babya E-Type. Be sure to read about new text features in the AppKit release notes.
• The new Insert submenu under the Edit menu enables inserting line break, paragraph break, and page break. Note that the default line break you get by hitting the Return key is actually paragraph break; line break is used to break lines without starting a new paragraph.
• Undo can now be used to undo changes across a save. Note that on save, Babya E-Type now calls the new NSTextView method, breakUndoCoalescing, in order to let the text system know that it shouldn't coalesce across a save.
• Babya E-Type can now process Finder or scripting print requests much better.
• When multiple documents are opened simultaneously, Babya E-Type now makes the first one key, and opens others behind this first document. For large numbers of files, this change reduces the overall time before the application is responsive. In addition, in these cases Babya E-Type now does foreground (that is, uninterruptible) text layout only for the front-most document. This also helps greatly improve the time to make the app responsive when the files are large.
* PDF-X export
*Export documents PDF with encryption for extra security

Babya's A.A. Fussy noted, "Babya E-Type for Mac has many of features that are in Babya E-Type for Windows. The Mac version adds seamless editing & roundtripping of Microsoft Word documents-you can open, edit & save to Word or Word XML format within Babya E-Type-faster than Word itself."

Babya's product manager for digital media, Alvin Novick commented, "The PDF export is powerful-you have full control when exporting, with options like encyrption,export to iPhoto, faxing and PDF-X support. It's very easy to use as well."
