uneven line spacing

In version 4.2 I’ve noticed quite often that the line spacing is uneven, even tho there is no apparent reason: no Bold, Underline, or font/size change. This was not visible in earlier versions of NWE. Is exists both in the screen appearance and in the printed version of the same document. Is there a...

Ah, great, thank you. I would not have stumbled on this on my own.

Re: mis-placed softwrap

Thanks for the explanation, bizarre as it is, and for the solution. Yes, I did notice the "zero-width non-joiner" and will use it next time.

gap at page-bottom

NWE 4.2 running under macOS 13.6. This is the second of the two issues that I sometimes run into. I did not have this problem with previous versions of NWE. For a multi-page file, an undesirable gap is sometimes left at the bottom of the page, even though there is room for one or more extra lines of...

mis-placed softwrap

I’m running NWE 4.2 under macOS 13.6, and would like to fix two issues that I sometimes run into. I’ll split them into two posts. The first one is long-standing over several previous versions of NWE, namely: Soft-wrapping occasionally misbehaves by sending the next word to a new line long before it ...

location of style sheets

I'm having trouble applying the Character Style to a file I'm editing. When I edit the Title style in the current document and assign a keyboard shortcut, it works fine: I can change the selection, apply the shortcut, and the desired style re-appears. But when I start editing another document, the s...

incorrect soft-wrap position

I'm using Nisus Writer Express 3.5.8b under macOS Sierra X.12.6. To print a web article I highlight it, copy it, paste it onto a new NWX window, then tweak the formatting as needed. Once in a rare while, after pasting (but before formatting changes) I encounter a line that is soft-wrapped at the wro...

Re: can Tab be set to X characters?

Philip, thanks for the reply. Yes I do work with mono-spaced fonts, and that's why I like the X-character tabs. These are especially useful for organizing some of the information I need to convey. Sounds like Nisus may be overkill for what I'm trying to do.

can Tab be set to X characters?

I'd like to be able to set tabs so every time I press the Tab key the cursor moves a fixed number of spaces to the right (I prefer 4 spaces). In evaluating Nisus Writer Pro I didn't see any way to do that. Is there a way? Thanks.
