Re: PhD Paranoia

To those that don't do innovative research, your post probably sounds like paranoia—but it isn't, especially these days. Several months ago I sent a letter (through a journal) to a well-know physicist at the top of his field arguing that a recent article he had written in the journal was wrong-head...

I've had problems with repeatable crashes that can be replicated but am reluctant so send the document on to Nisus as the document is related to my PhD research. I guess other people have the same reluctance for similar reasons. This type of problem is very alarming so I guess I'll use Mellel until...

It would seem that the lists are, in fact, quite usable! ;) OK, let me clarify. I forgot to mention in the initial post that this happens when you already have text that you want to put into sections like I mentioned. It seems to go wrong when you changed to tiered option in the list box and then s...

Lists unusable

Please forgive the tone but I've had it with this. There apppears to be no way to reliabily create something like this: 1. section 1 1.1 sub section for section headings. The entire listing function does the strangest things if you try. It basically ignores the format and insists on putting an 'A' f...

midwinter : In all cases that I've seen so far the ruler redraw problem is caused by additional programs people have installed. Specifically those that add features to all your Cocoa applications. Examples of those programs are Window Shade, Fruit Menu, Magic Menu, or any that use "APE". ...
