The pixel-level rulers make placing and resizing tables or images easier. You can also use the horizontal ruler to view and set paragraph margins.

Document Outline
The Document Outline command allows you to see the overall structure of the document you are editing. Paragraphs formatted with the Heading 1 through Heading 6 styles and Bulleted/Numbered lists indented by up to three steps are displayed in the document outline. Clicking on an item in the outline takes you to directly to that position in the document.

Language-Related Features

Unicode

Microsoft Global IME Support
Namo WebEditor's support of Microsoft Global IME and Language Packs lets you add Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages that don't use the Latin alphabet, even if you don't use a foreign-language version of Windows.

Background Spell Check and Auto Correct
Namo WebEditor 3.0 flags spelling mistakes as you type, and automatically corrects common ones on the fly. The Auto Correct feature can also be used to speed text entry by replacing short abbreviations with their expanded counterparts.

DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) Alignment Function
