Re: Nisus and website environment?

That would be ideal. I'll put together a few prototypes and try it out. Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Nisus and website environment?

Hmm. I will explore this. If I understand correctly, it would require that each article be a separate chapter in a single large Nisus file. That's doable in theory, but will probably become unwieldy as the project grows to include dozens of articles. Or maybe that's just a limitation in my thinking....

Nisus and website environment?

I wish to develop a site comprised of a number of related, hyperlinked articles. The articles will be academic, including multiple heading levels, block quotations, bullet lists, footnotes, diagrams, and tables. Although the main intent is to provide a collection of articles that link to one another...

More white space between body and footnote

How can I configure footnotes so that there is one line of whitespace above them? As currently configured, they are butting right up against the body text. I prefer a bit more room. Thanks.

Exclude last page from page count?

Is there a way to exclude the last page of a document from the page count? I'd like to use the last page to track the distribution of the document. This page would be for my records only, and would not be included when I print. But the page count in the footer (1 of 10, 2 of 10, etc.) counts that pa...

Re: Nisus versus the future

Hi, Geoff. Whale I agree that it would be manageable to digest each file as needed, the hardware upgrades surface at the most inconvenient times, swamping the whole project by requiring a simultaneous upgrade to software that can't swallow the old format. My PageMaker friend is facing an urgency dri...

Re: Nisus versus the future

Thanks for all of the helpful replies. I'll pass those regarding PageMaker along to my friend. I'm pessimistic partially because of my friend's experience (which is not unique), and partially because I don't trust Microsoft. I had some fairly serious conversion issues migrating between different ver...

Re: Nisus versus the future

Thank you for the reply. In my friend's case, the expense will be time, as she exports every file into some other format, then corrects all of the things that got lost in translation. My perception is that she doesn't have that much time, and will end up doing triage. To refine my question a bit, as...

Nisus versus the future

I have a friend who has about 4,000 files in the defunct PageMaker format. Adobe's approved upgrade path is to InDesign. She doesn't like InDesign, and finds that her files still get mangled in transition. Even if the conversion utility worked perfectly, she would still have to touch 4,000 files unl...
