Feature Request: Forced Justify Tab

Re: Book on Nisus Writer Pro

Joe, First, let me say that I really liked your book The Nisus Way! I was a big fan of Nisus Writer as a graduate student in the '90s and used it to typeset two books. I found Nisus Writer's powerful search-and-replace, support for scripts like Arabic & Persian, and macro language immensely usef...

Re: Drag and copy

Martin, Actually, the behavior of Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.2 is different from that of other applications in an important way. For example, with Text Edit, Microsoft Word 2011, or Pages '09, you can 1) first select some text, then 2) press the Option key and 3) click on and drag the selected text to pas...

Re:

Matze: Try starting your drag first and THEN press the option key. We will work on resolving this interface issue in the future so it is not so difficult to decipher. -Charles I note that this interface issue also exists in Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.2.

Re: A mere curiosity: Nisus for Linux

I'd love to see a Linux port of Nisus Writer, too. I switched from Mac to Ubuntu as my primary OS in 2006.
