I downloaded 2.0.3 earlier today, and just tried to print to my Brother HL-2140 printer. The preview showed in the print dialog box (attached) immediately caught my eye. It shows the page to be printed cropped off on the top and right, but the page does not show that way in Page View. Fortunately, i...

When I do a "Save As" NWE displays a large box showing possible locations. That works fine on my desktop running OSX 10.4.11 on a display with a 1680x1050 pixel display. However, when I run NWE on my MacBook running 10.5.6 on a display with 1280x800 resolution, the bottom part of the dialo...

I just checked the document icon, and using NWE on a PowerPC mac running 10.4.11 I don't see any signs of type on the large icons. Just a white page with a folded over corner and some shading

Coming in here late, but all the NWE express RTF documents in my files also lost their custom icons and are now blank, and I'm running OS/X 10.4.11 (Tiger). The custom icons vanished with the 3.3.1 upgrade. As others report, clicking on the links opens them. Get Info says they should be opened by NW...

I have the final release, and it's not working the same as it was running on Leopard 10.4.11. When I run a spellcheck and it finds an error with more than one suggested spelling, it doesn't automatically pick the top of the list as a default spelling. Instead, I have to use the arrow key to scroll d...

Just for the record, I upgraded to 3.2 soon after it came out, and the problem is still present. I noted it today while trying to spell-check "paleo-biologlist". When the cursor was at the hyphen, asking for a correction automatically converted "paleo" to "pale" and ign...

[quote="dshan"]It does sound like Spotlight hasn't finished indexing your internal HD. Yes, Spotlight starts returning results as soon as it finds some matches, so the list will change as it finds more. Spotlight was rather rough round the edges in 10.4, I suggest you upgrade to 10.5 where...

Spotlight now appears to be indexing some Nisus Express RTF files, but can't find words in all of them. I tried an obscure species name in one document, and it found two documents in backup files on an external hard disk, but not on my internal hard disk. On the other hand, it found the file on the ...

I recently upgraded to OS 10.4.11 in part to be able to use NWE 3.1, and have found Spotlight an extremely frustrating piece of software. One of the frustrations is that it doesn't seem to be able to index NWE RTF files at all. It picks up titles, but nothing inside the file. (I tested using an unus...

One problem with OpenOffice is that somehow they dropped support for PowerPC Macs when upgrading to version 3.0, so it's only available for Intel Macs in US English. (Why is a mystery, because there are PowerPC versions in a few other languages, such as Swedish, as I recall.) NeoOffice does work, an...

I've encountered an odd spell-check bug in NWE 3.1 which may not have been present in earlier versions. If I make a typo in a hyphenated word, and run a spell-check using COMMAND-; (my standard procedure), it flags the whole hyphenated sequence when there's an error in one word, e.g. solid-sptate fo...

I've been waiting for a Nisus Express update hoping it will fix some minor bugs in 3.0.2, but I was dismayed when I checked system requirements to find it required OSX 10.4. I'm still using 10.3.9, and upgrading to Leopard is not in the cards because of issues with peripherals and a large archive of...

Could the slow response be a memory problem? I'm still on 10.3.9, but NWE became agonizingly slow on my dual 1.8-GHz G5 with only 512 Meg of memory. Adding 2 gig of memory made a tremendous difference in NWE's response. I'm sure 10.5 needs much more memory than 10.3.9 did, and it may have crossed th...

I boosted memory on the PowerMac to 2.5 gig and it makes an impressive difference for Nisus Writer Express. NWE seems much more sensitive to memory swapping issues than my other software.

I use NWE both for writing articles and taking notes, so it's open virtually all the time, along with a few other programs, including Eudora, Safari, Acrobat Reader, and often Camino, MS Word, etc. This means I switch back and forth, often with several documents open in NWE. When I have been in a co...
