Re: Black on black formatting error

One possible cause is that I might have picked up something weird when I was copy-and-pasting material from PDFs and web sites. When I looked at the Fonts in the document, I saw a couple of odd fonts listed. Maybe I also picked up some odd html code? Alternatively, maybe I accidentally hit something...

Re: Black on black formatting error

I tried Vanceone's suggestion to try toggling the Appearance in the General group of System Preferences and it worked. Clicking on Dark turned the black type on black background to white type on black background. Clicking on Light turned it back to black type on white background. Somehow Nisus had g...

Re: Black on black formatting error

I am attaching screenshots that show what I saw. The PNG version of the Mini screenshot would not load because it was too large, so I converted it to JPG format. Neither machine has a preference for Dark modes, which I do not remember using in Nisus. I think I tried it in Firefox. I do use an app ca...

Re: Black on black formatting error

The fact that you can't see the black-on-black effect I see on my laptop (MacBookAir), and I can't see it on my desktop (MacMini) tell me that there must be some differences between the machines. (I have not intentionally done anything to change "Appearance" settings, and don't have time t...

Re: Black on black formatting error

Martin - Weirdly, I just found the black on black page on my laptop, which I had not checked because it first showed up on my desktop. I am attaching a version that is was hosted on my iCloud account, which I was using so I could work on the same file from a room cooler than my attic office was over...

Re: Black on black formatting error

Thanks for the quick response. This morning I saved a couple of copies and fiddled around with a third, but they now all have reverted to the version without the black on black type. That includes the copies that I carefully avoided from changing. At this point all I have are a couple of screen shot...

Black on black formatting error

I've been working on an article on two computers, shifting between my desktop using NWPro 3.2.1 and a laptop running NWExpress 4.2.1, with the file stored in iCloud. This morning I opened the file on my laptop and found that something had imposed a black background on my working draft, which was bla...

Re: Problem in saving new files

So what should I do to stop this? I just had it happen again. I copied and dragged and dropped some text from Firefox, saved the file the first time, and then was told it could not safe formatted text. This time the only error message I get is the attached which tells me nothing other than I can't s...

Re: Problem in saving new files

I'm running into this problem again, and inevitably it always happens when I am trying to take notes on a conversation (or these days a Zoom presentation) and don't have time to try to note the error message, and I can't get the error to repeat. I think I saw something something at the top about &qu...

Re: Problem in saving new files

What may be happening here is that my 2018 MacMini is getting confused when it reboots. I had to reboot yesterday because of some problems with Mail, and today I have noticed two problems have started. One is that Nisus Writer Pro is having problems saving new files when I have copied part of a docu...

Re: Problem in saving new files

This problem has reared its ugly head again. It happened most recently (15 minutes ago) when I copied and pasted material from a web site. I noticed when I checked the Nisus New File template that it was dated at the moment that I opened the folder containing the Nisus New File template. The problem...

Re: Problem in saving new files

I have tried to reconstruct how I got the error on the New File template, but have not yet succeeded. I did look at the Template File listed under Advanced preferences for a New File and picked Nisus New File. I think (but am not sure) that it might have been set for "Plain Text Template" ...

Problem in saving new files

Lately when I try to save new files (that have not already autosaved into the Nisus folder) I can create a file, but when Nisus Writer Pro (3.0.4) tries to autosave, I get an error message "Allow save to discard document formatting?", as shown in the attached screen shot. https://nisus.com...
