FAQ

Yes, xTiles can serve as an alternative to Microsoft Word if you are looking for a more visually-oriented tool for working with textual content. While Microsoft Word is primarily focused on traditional document formatting and text editing, xTiles offers a tile-based visual interface that allows you to create, organize, and present textual content in a more visually engaging manner.

Additionally, xTiles can recreate the Word page look if you just extend the tile’s size, but be prepared for the visual element to prevail, which means you won’t have access to all the font customization options you normally have in Word.

Yes, you can use xTiles as an alternative to Microsoft Word for outlining and writing stories. xTiles provides a versatile platform for organizing and structuring your storytelling process. Its tile-based interface allows you to create tiles for different sections of your story, characters, plot points, and more. You can easily arrange and rearrange these tiles to visualize the flow of your story, making it an excellent tool for outlining.

xTiles workspace hierarchy allows you to create different chapters of one story or different stories in one project and keep everything organized, while in Word, you would have to create separate files or have everything piled together in one document with many pages.

Additionally, xTiles offers an array of ready-to-use templates for writers to streamline the writing process and help them keep important details at hand.

The xTiles Web Clipper is not included by default. You need to download it as an add-on for your browser. Once it’s on your device, you will be able to save websites, pages, and their parts straight to your xTiles Workspace with a click. You can download the xTiles Web Clipper using this link: https://xtiles.app/en/web-clipper
