Re: hide header/footer

There are a number of ways of doing this, but I suppose the easiest solution would be to go to the Header/Footer palette and check the option which reads "Different first page". You can now insert a header/footer on the second page which won't show up on the first page.

Re: First letter

I believe Max is asking about automatic capitalization of the first letter after a full stop, though I might be wrong. Max, if that is really what you are after: it is currently not an option in Nisus Writer Pro/Express. You could use third party tools, such as TypeIt4Me, that will do this for you i...

Re: Manual/guide

The manual is only available in PDF file format. The RTF version, i.e. the file produced in Nisus Writer Pro and saved as PDF, is not available to anyone outside of Nisus Software. I believe it has been requested a few times as a practical example of using Nisus Writer Pro to produce lengthy and com...

Re: Default Behavior: Open Last Document or not?

I agree with midwinter. The option is right there if I need it, and I do not want the application to do things for me I never asked it to do. If I want to open a file, I'll do it myself; if I want Nisus to do it for me (which I consider non-standard behaviour), I'll tell it to do so.

Re: download questions

Hi peridot, both methods are valid. In fact, the method I suggested does what Martin has recommended, except that it does so in fewer steps. When you replace an application, the old file gets deleted automatically, so there is no need to manually delete the old file prior to installing the new appli...

Re: formulas

You will need to use a third-party application. By the way, that is also what Microsoft Word for Mac does; it uses Equation Editor, which is a modified version of Design Science's MathType application. You can download MathType and try it for free for thirty days; after that, the trial will expire a...

Re: Formatting(Layout): delete(eliminate) " return in the line "

Hi, the easiest solution is to download DEVON Technology's free Word Services . Install them, and they should be available in the Services menu of any Cocoa application, such as Nisus Writer Pro, TextEdit, and Mail. Restart your Mac, then select the text in Nisus Writer Pro and click on Nisus Writer...

Re: Newbie Question

Hi,

I'm afraid none of these are available in Nisus Writer Express (or Nisus Writer Pro, for that matter).

Sorry!

Re: download questions

You can download the disk image from the default location, but there might be "mirrors", i.e. alternative download locations. These mirrors have no impact on the file itself, which will always remain the same, so go ahead and download from anywhere you want. As for the installation: you si...

Re: Mass Conversion of Appleworks Files

You can do so using a shareware application called MacLink Plus (link to the product page here). Note that you will need to pay for this product.

Re: Desired NWP1.2 Features

Here are some features I would like to see in Nisus Writer Pro at some point.

They display PDF files alright, but I'm not sure they can display embedded PDF files, i.e. PDF files that are referred to by regular HTML documents.

Re: Delays on "Save" command

This "application saving only changes made to the file" was actually a feature in any Microsoft Office application prior to Office 2008. It was called Fast Save, I believe, and it caused a lot of trouble. The feature was introduced at some point in the late 80s when saving files to a flopp...
