.nisus ?
I think it is great that Nisus Writer saves the files as .rtf on OS X, however there is one downside to this for me. I have loads of .rtf files created with TextEdit which are just notes on things, most usually notes on things which are also in the folder containing the note. I quite like being able...

Re: How to find accidental repeated words
Many thanks, Martin. I've loaded it and am ready to go! I was thinking mainly of some instances of "that that" -- a rather clumsy but sometimes useful construction. Actually, I was thinking there must be others, but then the more I thought about it, the more I came to think "that tha...

Re: Apple and RTF
I don't think this new iWork suit is cut down because of the re-baseling business. I think that Apple have analysed how much of the features people use in an office suite and that analysis has shown them that 90% of people use a tiny amount of the available features. When I've worked in offices myse...

Agreed. I'd like to see them as well. I remember when I moved from Word 5.1a to Nisus Writer in the early nineties the thing I missed was the comments in Word. I rather like the implementation in Word 5.1a and preferred it to the current Word. Pages looks neater than the current Word system. I'm ve...

thanks! It's an opportunity for me to mention the brilliant Nisus Writer keyboard short-cuts system :) I'm very fond of mentioning this as some will no doubt have noticed. In Nisus Writer Express you can use a modifier key or keys and a series of regular keys as a short-cut. To actually use this sh...

Someday I hope Nisus will be able to handle labels ... and merges, too. Until then, I suggest using other tools. I think this would come perhaps with mail merge. I think that mail merge is the biggest gap in the feature set for Nisus Writer Pro. As an aside I would say that the method in creating l...

I've seen that screenshot. It does not look to me like it is a functional outline, but it would be great if that is what it is. I don't see 'improved outline' listed as a new feature in Pro, so I am assuming there will be no change. My guess is that you're right about this, it looks very like the d...

Hi ms45143 I too am a former Nisus Writer Classic user but my expectations of Nisus Writer Express were not that it would be a replacement for Nisus Writer Classic. I know that Nisus pretty will started from afresh, or in fact from another light word-processor for OS X (I think Okito Composer). Slow...

Re: A recent disaster with NWE
I don't know if you have ever tried out the utility called "File Buddy" but if the situation you've described had happened to me I would have started to have a look around the hard drive with File Buddy. Years ago I have had things happen a bit like you have described and here's how File B...

One thing I do miss from Classic Nisus are the collapse/expand macros, which made navigating long docs so much easier :-) That is very kind of you to mention them :D If there is an invisible style in Nisus Writer Pro then collapse/expand macros could maybe live again! One thing I think NWP might we...

I'm just trying to think a little outside the box re: commenting and tracking changes and commenting. Are balloons the best way to implement? Is dumping them in the margins the best way? I have Office 2004, I have it because I get it for free as I work at a University, however I hardly ever use it....

Hi With respect to stability I have found Nisus Writer Express to be very good. I've only be using it for seven months but I've been using it a lot. However I have not used footnotes very often. Oddly enough I started really using them a lot just this weekend for the first time. Nisus Writer Classic...
