The issue is unlikely to be related to file size, but rather the particular sequence of fonts and characters in maurerc's document. Honestly it's not something I think the general user should be worried about. We've reported the problem to Apple and hopefully there will be a Leopard update that fixe...

We don't have this feature exactly, but there are ways to do accomplish what you'd like. Two options which might be helpful depending on your circumstance: 1. You can add "include in TOC" as an attribute that your paragraph style defines. For example, if you have a "Table Caption"...

I want the figure to be at the top of the page to leave enough space at the bottom for the caption, but when I select the "align top" button in the Image Arrangement selection, the figure jumps all the way to the beginning of the document, instead of the top of the page. What's up with th...

Hi Maggie- there's currently no automated way to do this, sorry. You'll have to manually insert a page break or some newlines to manage the table.

As you may know, spelling dictionaries on OSX are provided by Apple and other 3rd parties. So this is actually a problem with the particular dictionary you are using. I'll report the problem with Apple's dictionaries to them directly, but if you are making use of any other dictionary, you should con...

Spell checking is done on a per-language basis. That is, you can have more than one spelling dictionary active in a single document. The key thing to note is that language is an attribute of text, eg: just as each word can have a different font applied, so too can the language change. You'll want to...

Hi Dan, there's no way to turn LinkBack off in such a way. Could you send me an example of a problem document to the address below? I can have a look and see why it's not opening up, thanks.

Express does not have a line numbering feature, but Pro does. Unfortunately Pro does not yet draw the double vertical line which may be required for your pleading page.

In a quick test I didn't have any trouble with automatic page numbers retaining a manually applied font. What version of Express are you using? Can you submit a sample document that shows the problem?

You are correct that character styles cannot be based on paragraph styles. However, if you like you can set your default paragraph style (eg: Normal) to be based on a character style of your choosing. Most of the time I don't know why this step would be necessary, since you can apply character attri...

Re: Disappearing documents

Consequently, I don't know what version of NWX I was using because I have already deleted it. The feedback report you sent in indicates you were using NWX 2.0.1. Since you've not bought a license for version 2.x I strongly recommend downloading version 3.0.1 . Autosave was enabled in NWX and it was...

Re: managing page numbers in multiple documents

gemboy's is correct, the Sections palette controls the starting page number for the section/document. Or better, still: is there a way I can include references to separate files in a master document, and from there build some kind of global TOC and index — and of course print it from that master? Th...

I'm afraid there's no way to print a selection, you'd have to do it manually. Eg: choose the pages to print in the print dialog or copy the exact content to a separate file.
