Many thanks, Geoff! I was not aware of QuickFix. (Is my typing that good?)

small bug in Nisus Writer Pro
When I type the word "Hawai‘i" with the correct reversed apostrophe (Option-]), Nisus Writer Pro converts the word to "Hawai‘I" (with a capital "I"). One then has to correct the final "I" manually. I believe this is a problem within Nisus, as it does not happe...

line spacing
I too am distressed by the inability of NWE to space lines regularly when two different fonts are used. I frequently need to insert Japanese or Chinese script into text which is otherwise in the roman alphabet; and I do not wish to use the roman fonts that come with Hiragino Mincho, Song or other no...

footnotes & endnotes
Footnotes and endnotes definitely need more attention! I have been working on a paper which currently has some 55 endnotes. Nisus Writer Express has repeatedly crashed after I have made changes to the endnotes; or at the very least it has developed severe indigestion. I am slightly consoled that as ...

I tried out Beta 5 this morning; and, while it is much more responsive than, say, 2.6.1, it is still not foolproof. After only a few minutes of making adjustments to the spacing in my footnotes I (again) got the message about an internal error occurring. I then re-opened my file twice more in Beta 5...

problem copying from Nisus Writer Classic to NWE 2.5
I have started the painful process of transferring a large number of text files from Nisus Writer Classic to Nisus Writer Express 2.5; and run into peculiar problems. One recurrent one is that text converted to NWE 2.5 sometimes displays as an immensely long column of single characters, instead of t...

Thank you, Craig, for your suggestion regarding macros. I have never really understood how to manipulate them, but will experiment. From my point of view the simplest solution, though, would be to make Quickeys fully functional in Nisus Writer Express 2.0 (and in Mellel, for that matter). DAVID WATE...
