Let me just wave my hand around frantically and say, the reason I'm not using NWE 2.7 as my workhorse word processor is the lack of multiple windows (or panes within a window) on a single document. I really need this feature because I typically work on long files (okay, novels) and need to refer bac...

Hint: you can convert your NWE files into Word Doc files that Documents to Go will eat, using the command line program textutil. To convert a file called foo.rtf to a file called foo.doc that Docs to Go will read, open terminal, cd to the directory foo.rtf lives in, and type: textutil -convert doc f...

Many windows, one document?
Am I being really stupid again, or is there no way in NWE (I'm currently running 2.6.1, thanks) to open two or more windows onto the same document? (I'm working on a long one, and like to keep a window open on some earlier text for reference while I'm working on new text. Virtually every WP I've use...

10.4.6 showed up on Software Update today, so I upgraded OS/X, rebooted ... and, of course, had to check to see if my problem was still there. Cut and paste is working again, and I can save files again without losing data. I'm now officially weirded out. It seems like I was bitten by a bug that was ...

More testing: the problem isn't caused by APE or any of the above Haxies, unless APE is lying when it claims to be temporarily disabled. Nor is the cause one or more of Quicksilver, CamelBones, iScroll2, SharePoints, or ExtFSManager (and I've now run out of system extensions to rip out and test with...

Done some more dinking. It doesn't appear to be a corrupt Preferences or Application Support file. (Removed: ~/Library/Application Support/Nisus Writer and ~/Library/Preferences/com.nisus.NisusWriter.plist ... repeated tests: same problem.) Does NWE share any code/use libraries from other applicatio...

Addendum ...
I've now just conducted the following experiment: Create test file using MS Word 2004. Save test file as RTF. (Make a spare copy.) Start NWE 2.6.1. Open test file. Save test file. Quit NWE. Comparing the test file to the spare backup copy -- all the text has gone, replaced by empty paragraphs! This ...

NWE 2.6.1 horrors
I'm having big problems with 2.6.1. I've been working in Word 2004 for a while and decided to switch to 2.6.1 for a new project (I'm about to acquire a MacBook Pro, and it'd be nice to have an Intel-native word processor). Problem 1: on importing and editing a 2500 word long, very vanilla Word docum...

Features in 3.0 ...?
This is just my what-I-need dump ... 1. The document manager may be useful to some folks, but I'm deeply suspicious of it. It's the sort of task that can be left perfectly well to the Finder plus Spotlight; if people <i>really</i> need sophisticated document management tools, wouldn't it make more s...

Do you mean OASIS (as in, the XML-based open file format used by OpenOffice and accessible by other WPs such as AbiWord, WordPerfect, and so on)? If so, I'd think that (a) supporting it would be a plus, and (b) not too difficult (as OASIS/RTF import/export is already available in various open source...
