OK, in the next beta we will have a native sort paragraphs command that does not rely on macros. These new sorting commands won't have troubles with the different localizations, and will properly preserve the attributes assigned to your text.

Sorry, but at this time there is no way to wrap text around graphics. You can fake it using tables if you like, but it's more work (and not exactly the same).

Re: Duplicate Paragraph Styles

Beta 4 is available for testing. It fixes that annoying "additional newline on every paste" bug that we added during the last beta, and many more. The beta bunnies demand your compliance in downloading this new build.

Have a good weekend folks!

Ruler markers/droplets are any of the little icons that mark special distances on the ruler. Eg: a tab stop has a little black arrow for its marker.

We'll fix this soon. spell check isn't working, or it finds miss-spelled words, but doesn't offer suggestions Hm, I can't reproduce this. Any chance the language/dictionar...

There's no way to disable fonts just for NWX, but you can use Apple's Font Book application to quickly enabled and disable font collections.
