I’ve been using Ulysses with Bookends for drafting and have tested the following workflow for exporting to Nisus Writer Pro:
- Quick Export from Ulysses to .docx (using the 'Simple MLA’ style available through the Ulysses style exchange)
- Open .docx in Word and save as .rtf
- Point Bookends at .rtf using ‘Scan Document’ to produce citations and bibliography
- Open .rtf in Nisus Writer Pro, save as Nisus Compressed Rich Text file
Finally, I'd like the resulting document to be as readable and visually appealing as possible while staying with the guidelines given by the MLA and my department (both of which allow some flexibility). One question is whether to use traditional Times New Roman 12-point or to substitute another clear and easy to read font (such as Minion Pro, an Adobe font). I'd be interested to hear other users' thoughts on this or other adjustments to the appearance of the text that could be made in the final stages.
