- Fixed a bug
that made the "Page number" icon disappear.
- Added a "Repeat
Last Menu Command" item on Edit menu.
- All hidden
menu commands have been brought out into submenus. For example, Copy
and Paste have their own submenus, with all key-modified
commands as submenus.

scrolling to document windows and all lists in dialogs, so the document scrolls
at the same time as you move the scroll button.
- Added "Background
Color" feature.
- Added Millions
of Colors feature for foreground text, and new color names with more
fixed color choices. Old color names are preserved, and can be used to mark
text for searching. Doing a search for a new or custom color finds any
new or custom color.

characters adopt font and size of the previous character, unless it is
another carriage return. Old documents will be fixed when they are opened.

Memory" command to the Edit:Memory submenu. This forces the application
to make more memory available.

- Added checkmark
to top window in Windows menu (changed files are underlined).
- Fixed Stack
command so all title bars show; tiling improved.

- The Auto
menu appears right of the Windows menu in the menu bar with a gear icon.
- You can now
rename each of the autonumber counters. Create a Nisus New File Stationery
document to always use your choice of names for the counters.
- Made Convert:Variables
to Text handle all 3 segments of the document (Headers, Footers, and
Footnotes) if it is invoked with no selection.
- Added "Date
Stamp" and "Time Stamp" menu items on the "Variable Stamp"
submenu to insert "raw" text that will not update.

Paste Spot" setting is saved with documents.

less likely when resizing large pictures.
