In Part 3, Keith will dive deeply into the Prefixes and Suffixes areas in Eclipse, including the Integral Prefix/Suffix feature as it affects translation. This is another high-impact, high-usage feature, but also one that few delve into or adjust. Knowing how to add to or modify the Prefix and... READ MORE

In Part 4 Jeremy is going to cover the Probabilistic Features, those that will yield predictable but not absolutely certain results. Translation Magic, for example, a feature of almost miraculous proportions when viewed as a programming achievement, will guess right more often than it guesses... READ MORE

You've probably heard this by now.  "AutoMagic" is a big breakthrough, a truly transformational feature introduced in Version 5 of Total Eclipse. Breakthrough, you say? Transformational?

Eclipse users make this kind of comment all the time: "There are so many things in the software that I don't know about and I know they can help." It's true, reporters lead busy, deadlined lives and it's difficult at times to find time to explore the software. And there's this: Most reporters... READ MORE

Do you really need multiple alphabets?
What’s the easiest way to stitch words?
How can I write acronyms and middle initials so they come out right?

We continually ask Eclipse users what features they would like to understand better, and macro commands are on nearly everyone's list. Macros roll multiple editing steps into a single command. They're one of the most powerful editing features within Eclipse. Fortunately, there are many macros... READ MORE
