Verso Writer is a lightweight yet powerful text editor. It strikes an ideal balance between capability and simplicity: it can open and edit Word documents (including Track Changes) without a bloated or complicated interface. It is a tool focused purely on writing, with no distractions, so you can devote your full attention to your work.

Features

Document Handling

• Multiple document formats supported: Full support for Microsoft Word (.docx, .doc) documents, including Track Changes and Comments. Also supports .odt, .rtf, .txt, .md (Markdown), and .html, with export to .pdf.
• Track Changes: Review all modifications—insertions are underlined and deletions are shown with strikethrough. Use the convenient sidebar to accept or reject changes one by one, or process them all at once.
• Compatibility: Documents created or edited with Verso open normally in Microsoft Word, preserving all formatting and revision history intact.

Focused Writing Interface

• Focus Mode: Press ⌘⇧F to hide the entire interface and keep only the paragraph you are currently editing on screen—ideal for distraction-free writing.
• Page color schemes: Five preset page background colors are available, including a comfortable “Paper” mode for better reading in various lighting conditions.
• Light and Dark themes: Automatically follow the macOS system theme, or choose manually.

Advanced Typesetting

• Full text formatting: Supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript, text color, and text highlighting.
• Tables: Insert tables, adjust sizes, fill cells, configure borders, and manage rows and columns.
• Document structure: Automatic table of contents (TOC, with page numbers), footnotes, headers, and footers.
• Page layout: Choose page sizes (A4, Letter, Legal), portrait or landscape orientation, custom margins, and multi-column layouts.
• Paragraph styles: Redefine paragraph styles and apply the new style to all matching paragraphs with one click, quickly updating the formatting of the entire document.

Code & Data Support

• Synced Markdown: Open and edit `.md` files directly, just like plain text, while fully preserving headings, tables, lists, and all Markdown formatting.
• Syntax highlighting: Supports 22 programming languages, including Swift, Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, and more. Code is automatically highlighted when inserted.
• Mermaid diagrams: Render Mermaid diagrams in Markdown documents, including sequence diagrams, flowcharts, and more.
