Now that the OpenDocument formats have been accepted as "official" standards by OASIS, and OpenOffice is also moving towards ISO recognition, I think it would be nice for Nisus Writer to be able to produce an OpenDocument WP file as an export option (or perhaps as a more "open" d...

This 2.5 release (alpha 2) is very nice. Quite spry and attractive looking (though I would really love it if you guys came up with a non-fugly "save" toolbar button). Also, I'd love to see what this would look like with the "unified" title/toolbar look in Tiger. I've recently com...

Is it possible that Apple is trying to split the difference between Word and a page layout application? At any rate, I bought it (mostly for Keynote) and I'm interested in seeing what it's like.

With just a few more features, this could displace Microsoft Word as my main word processor: 1. Styles. Must have styles. Hand-formatting each section is not an option, it's a waste of time. 2. Smart Quotes, Apostrophes. I mean, come one. AppleWorks does this. 3. Footnotes. Can't use it for schoolwo...
