Nisus Writer Pro version 1.0.3 is the latest version available. To update simply replace
your old Nisus Writer Pro application with the new one
(download the update or
download the full version).
New in Version 1.0.3
- Fixed: some images were not sharp on screen or during printing.
- Fixed: making changes to all footnotes could cause them to disappear.
- Fixed: printing and Save to PDF should log less "invalid context" lines to the console.
New in Version 1.0.2
- Italian localization.
- Added a handful of macro commands (please see the Nisus Macro Reference).
Notable Fixes in Version 1.0.2
- Fixed: a variety of issues/crashes/hangs on Leopard (10.5).
- Fixed: images using the PICT file format print sharply.
- Fixed: could not modify list level/style in the stylesheet view.
- Fixed: crash if two of the same PowerFind bubbles were inserted next to each other using the menu.
- Fixed: bold/italic font formatting imports into InDesign properly if a real typeface is available.
- Worked around a bug in InDesign's RTF import where it ignores paragraph alignment. The work around is not full proof, but should cover most cases.
- Fixed: double clicking LinkBack content does not always launch the associated application if needed.
- The user guide (help files) have correct page numbers.
Additional Fixes in Version 1.0.2
- Fixed: Page View could stop layout if an image larger than a single page had a non-zero "after paragraph spacing" set.

- Fixed: ruler tooltips are not shown.
- Fixed: text in adjacent tables cells could be saved with improper text encoding.
- Attempt at fixing a reported (but unreproducible) ruler redrawing problem.
- Fixed: copy-paste of text with a floating image should not convert the image to inline.
- Fixed: we read text from WordÕs RTF files using the Symbol text encoding properly.

- Fixed: reading files with PC line endings (CRLF) resulted in double newlines.
- Fixed: list styles that have less than the normal number of levels display improperly in the stylesheet.
- Fixed: the macro commands that select next/prev/relative note text/referneces work regardless of whether the selection rests in the document body or the note body.
- Changed: Paragraph palette doesn't round fixed line spacing to the nearest point, instead it rounds to the nearest tenth of a point.
- Fixed: macro commands that select relative tables/notes could fail if the selection was already inside an object of the same type.
- Fixed: the object select macro commands (eg: "select table N") could skip content in documents with footnotes.
- Fixed: the macro command "select next paragraph" should not first select the current paragraph.
- Fixed: inserting a newline does not run QuickFix for all text in the current text undo coalescion chunk.
- Fixed: double-clicking the single spellcheck replacement suggestion should correct the word and move next.
- Fixed: text storage slices copied to macro variables could lose meta-data such as available TOCs and Indexes, resulting in crashes/asserts when encoded to RTF (and possibly other problems).
- Fixed: the macro keywords "true" and "false" are properly recognized when they occur immediately after a command name.
- Fixed: documents that do not explicitly use the "sectd" control to specify section defaults will inherit default RTF margins.
- Fixed: image files in RTFD documents do not remain locked even after closing the document window.
- Fixed: attribute changes made to styles are sometimes ignored when the selection rests inside the preview text area.
- Fixed: some macro commands that inspect the table selection could show an alert instead of returning zero.
- Fixed: some fonts did not display as bold when fake bolding required (eg: AppleGothic).
- Fixed: if a macro sub-folder became empty and then full again, it could be missing from the Macros menu.
- Fixed: PowerFind Pro expression fixing could crash when encountering malformed "\x" escapes.
- Fixed: in some cases (eg: in footnotes) attributes could bleed into indexing cross-ref text.
- Fixed: the menus "increase/decrease font size..." did not work in the French, German and Spanish localizations.

- Fixed: system font panel shows display fonts.
- Fixed: floating palettes can open up too small.
- Fixed: sometimes switching to PowerFind and inserting a PowerFind bubble would result in the insertion of the PowerFind Pro expression.
- Fixed: adjusting the list style indents did not always update all the uses of the style in the document.
- Fixed: if a footnote becomes a spanning note, could improperly position the following notes.
- Fixed: footnotes bodies with deferred notes could be the wrong height.
- Fixed: to maintain compatibility with Express 2.7, Perl macros should not select the text they output.

- Changed: macro commands that write a file will create the enclosing directory if it does not yet exist.
- Fixed: the menu "Index Using Word List" should assume files without an extension are in plain text format.
- Fixed: braces could be mistaken for repetition operator in PowerFind Pro expression, preventing proper fixing.
- Fixed: setting the zoom to be zero (or negative) doesn't cause the document to disappear or hang.
