"Fenris" is my computer name (my PowerBook is called "Loki").
I am running with the latest driver from Canon for the i850 printer. These messages only show up when printing from Nisus Express, when I print from other applications, AppleWorks, NoteBook, etc. there are no messages.

Whenever I print from Nisus Express I get hundreds of messages written to the console log, a sample: Nov 14 15:00:05 Fenris /Applications/Nisus/Nisus Writer Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Nisus Writer Express: CGContextGetCTM: invalid context Nov 14 15:00:05 Fenris /Applications/Nisus/Nisus Writer Expre...

I found what the problem was - the Default Paper Size in the Print & Fax preferences was set to US Letter. I've never bothered to look in this preference before so will have to remember to check this if I have any other printer glitches.

I am having problems with the 'Nisus New File.dot' template file where it reverts to US Letter from A4. I have a 'master' document called 'New Template.rtf' which is setup the way I want a new document formatted, paper size = A4, language = British Engish, margins setup, and all my styles setup. I c...

I have NWE 2.5 and OmniGraffle 4.0 and decided to play with LinkBack. I created a drawing in OG and copied and pasted it into a document in NWE. This works well. When I double-click the drawing in NWE it starts OG and I can change the drawing and the changes appear in NWE. This is as it should be. T...

The new beta fixes the problem I was having with A4 paper size and landscape printing but now when I print I get hundreds of the following messages in the console log: Aug 28 09:57:51 Fenris /Applications/Beta Software/Nisus Beta/Nisus Writer Express beta6.app/Contents/MacOS/Nisus Writer Express: CG...

You could try searching through the Nisus Listserver archives for the word "macro".

Using 2.5a5 if you select any colour apart from white for the Draft Background Color in the General preferences, you get pages of errors in the Console log, e.g. Jun 19 15:10:39 Fenris /Applications/Beta Software/Nisus Beta/Nisus Writer Express.app/Contents/MacOS/Nisus Writer Express: CGContextSetCM...

I have just started using 2.5 alpha 5 and can't get the spelling window to work. If I control-click on a high-lighted word and select "Learn spelling", nothing happens. Have tried going in to the spelling window through the Edit pulldown and same thing.

I also cannot download from the archive site and have no idea what the password is.
If you send me your e-mail address off-list I will send a copy of the merge macro and instructions.

It is possible to do mail merge using macros. If you look through the Nisus List archives: http://listserv.dartmouth.edu/archives/nisus.html for June 2003 you will find e-mails from David Linker explaining how to use his macro. I have been able to use the macro for simple mail merge tasks like creat...

Ulrich I started having the same problem as yourself with Nisus getting part-way through its initialisation and then simply vanishing with no error messages. I looked in the MacOS9 System Folder and found a Clipboard file which was 12K in size - this file should be zero size apparently (someone repo...

There is a recent topic on the MacFixit site that mentions problems with running Classic under 10.3.9.
Apparently this can be resolved by turning off the Apple Menu Options extension in Classic.

The size in the character palette changes (goes up by 1 from 11 to 12) and the text size itself gets larger as text in one cell now takes two lines instead of one line in the original table.

I am experimenting with tables and have created one that I am satisfied with and which uses my "Normal" style which uses the Gentium font at size=11. When I select the table, then Copy it and Paste it to another part of the document, the size changes to '12'. The font changed to Times at o...
