This bug and a few others have been fixed for 2.6.1 beta 2. Give it a try if you've got an Intel machine or Panther 10.3.9.

Yes, 2.6.1 is a "universal binary", which means it works on PPC and Intel machines. This is basically like those old FAT binaries that had 68K and PPC in one. One caveat: universal binaries require 10.3.9 or later to run.

We pay midwinter for his services by sending him old Nisus Writer Classic swag

But just to be clear: we don't pay any beta testers for their work. And we certainly don't employ anyone to be a forum regular... well, except Dave, Mark, and I. But unfortunately we all have other duties as well.

Universal binary of Thesaurus is available along with the 2.6.1 beta:

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you replaced one untitled document with another. But if you've done a Save or Save As over an existing document, there is probably very little you can do to retrieve the original copy. The automatic backups are saved in your home folder, to the location: ~/Doc...

Honestly I'm not sure it would be worth the effort, as the universal binary is just a few megabytes larger than the PPC only version.

A universal binary of Express is ready for testing:

It's quite speedy on our Intel iMac, a definite improvement. We also have a version of Nisus Thesaurus for you.

Hi everybody, just after our 2.6 beta, here we go again! We've made a "universal binary" version of Express. This version will run on all those new Intel machines, but besides that, will have no new features. You can download a beta here: http://nisus.com/Express/beta/ For those poor souls...

I'm afraid I don't have any other good ideas for you Steve. The great suggestions from the forum regulars cover everything I would have asked you to try. I'm sending you a private email asking for you to send the document along to us for testing.

In general no, but there will be a couple of specific areas where it would be very helpful. We'll let you know what those areas are once the beta is available. Thanks for asking Craig.

Are you using Express version 2.6? There were some macro problems in prior versions. Also, have you tried the macro when Bookends is running?

The problem is likely to be the high number of footnotes. We are aware of this issue and are working to solve it.

Is there a way I can set Nisus 2.6 to open to the last document I was working on? Yes, just check "Reopen previously open documents on launch". That option can be found in our General preferences. And can it be set to open where I left the insertion point? This should happen automatically...

midwinter has got it: the Feedback dialog is the best place for us to hear about your problems. If you feel inclined to post about your issue in the forum, because you'd like a discussion, probably it would be best to make one thread per issue. And what's wrong with "dissapeared"? ;) Yeah,...

This is a minor annoyance, but will not affect find results. Basically what is happening is that Express is copying the paragraph style from the clipboard as well as the text. So if there was a head (left) indent present in the pasted text, it will show up in the Find dialog.
