Status Update

Dear Valued Users,

Please note that the ConstEdit Word Processor will remain listed in the Microsoft Edge Add-Ons Store. The support of the extension software will be continued for Microsoft Edge.

Status Update

Dear Valued Users,

Please note that I am making an effort to try to retain the ConstEdit Word Processor in the Microsoft Edge Add-Ons Store, and continue with the support from there. At this stage, however, I am still not quite sure if this would be successful.

The listing of the extension software in the Google Web Store, and the accessibility of this website would be suspended according to the arrangement schedule of Google.

Software Discontinuation

Dear Valued Users,

It is with sincere regret that I announce the discontinuation of ConstEdit Word Processor effective end-Feb2025. The lack of revenue has made it financially unsustainable to continue with the operational and maintenance activities. As a result, all future development updates or technical support for this product will be cancelled. The software will be removed from Google Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-Ons Store by the end of the month. This website and the domain name will also be given up.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to your side.

Happy Chinese New Year

Wish you all a peaceful and prosperous Year of the Snake.

Season's Greeting

Best wishes to you all for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Rewrite with Copilot on Microsoft Edge

If you are using ConstEdit Word Processor on Microsoft Edge, you can now use the new Microsoft ai feature "Rewrite with Copilot" for rewording your document content. You simply select / highlight the content that you would like to reword, and the Rewrite menu will appear. You can also try on different wording by specifying different tones, lengths, and formats. Note that Rewrite will not appear if the content that you highlight is too short.

To set up for using Rewrite, you must upgrade to the latest version of Microsoft Edge (i.e. version 124 or later) > sign in to Windows with a Microsoft account (i.e. not signing in with a Local Account) > choose Settings in Microsoft Edge > from Language and under Writing Assistance > enable "Use Compose (AI-writing) on the web".

Happy Chinese New Year

Wish you all a very peaceful Year of the Dragon.

Season's Greetings

Wish you all a very merry Christmas and a peaceful year of 2024.

ConstEdit v4.2 is now available

Changelog of this version:

• Fixed. The validation when inputting a link url is now performed properly, when a link is added or changed. Previously the checking was simply skipped.
• Changed. The number of Auto-Convert mapping items is increased from 50 to 99.

Writing Assistance & Split Screen Mode of Microsoft Edge

Writing Assistance

If you are using ConstEdit in Microsoft Edge, you can now enjoy these features when editing with ConstEdit: text prediction, enhanced grammar, spell-checking, style suggestions and synonyms suggestions. You simply need to go to Microsoft Edge Settings > Languages > Writing Assistance, and choose those features that you would like to enable to assist your writing. Note that in using some of these features, text typed inside ConstEdit may be sent to the Microsoft cloud service by Microsoft Edge to provide such functionality.

split screen mode

ConstEdit is compatible with the new Split Screen mode of Microsoft Edge. You just have to start ConstEdit first before activating the Split Screen mode (by clicking the Split Screen icon on the address bar). During my testing, ConstEdit works totally normally in the split screen. However, there is a scenario which ConstEdit is not designed for: two simultaneous editing sessions of ConstEdit can be opened.

When you activate the Split Screen mode after starting ConstEdit, ConstEdit will be placed at the left pane. On the right pane, you can see that ConstEdit is available in the list of "Tabs you've opened". From this list you'll be able to open another session of ConstEdit, alongside with the first session on the left. ConstEdit however seems to be still working properly in the second session. The only drawback will be that you may end up with the editing in one session overwritten by the editing in the other, if you have opened the same document for editing at both sides with ConstEdit. If you have not opened the same document, my testing shows that ConstEdit is actually working well in both sessions in the split screen.

The Split Screen mode is especially handy when you need to edit a document with ConstEdit while referencing to another document or to another webpage at the other side of the split screen.

Happy Chinese New Year

Wish you all a prosperous and peaceful Year of the Rabbit.

Season's Greetings

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
