Have you tried rebuilding the TOC? If the doc had been created with Roman page numbering and the TOC was built, and then later the page numbers were changed but the TOC was not rebuilt it could result in the mismatch you have. Otherwise like you I don't see any way of changing between Arabic and Rom...

I regularly use NWP > PDF for 100 to 300 page books. Some of these include header graphics, multiple columns, multiple colors, foot note separator lines, etc. These have been printed through traditional printers on digital web and offset presses without any issues. I would wonder if it might not be ...

Greetings, I've recently been working on a large multi-section (21 sections) document. The margin set up changed several times from the initial draft to the final document. It would have been nice since this document had the same margins for all sections if there was a checkbox option that would all...

Nisus will do different odd and even page headers if the facing pages option is enabled. To use this check the facing pages option in the sections palette.

Irene, The control over what app opens a particular file type is handled by the OS not the app in most cases. To correct this, use the finder to locate an RTF file. Right click and Get Info on the file. You'll see an Open With option that will allow you to set which app opens all files of the same t...

It sounds like you would need to set up the document with multiple columns.

You can alter the number of columns in the Sections Palatte.

You can insert the PDF as a watermark in the background. Tools > Watermark. Select the Watermark from an image file and then select the PDF. You can set the alignment in the dialogue box along with the level of transparency.

My last project (~80,000 words) had around 100 footnotes in each section (chapter) and I never encountered any problems with inserting new footnotes, so I don't think it has anything to do with the number. There must be something else or something else combined with the number of footnotes that's at...

I would love to see a Binder/Book feature like InDesign, to collect all chapters/documents in a book in a single binder, and apply the formattings of a master document to all other documents in the same binder.Paolo I second this request. I just finished a large book project. I used separate files ...

The bottom line is that Nisus is just too slow. I'm inclined to think that it is not Nisus, in general, but rather that there is some aspect of the file in question that Nisus is not handling well. Why would I hazard such a guess? Because I have a dissertation chapter that is approximately 20,000 w...

I don't know if you can tie this to the style, but you can create a second instance of Hebrew in your language preferences. I set one up as "Hebrew Footnote" and it is a different size from what I typically use in the body. I have two different keyboard short cuts set so that with one I select my "b...

Thanks, Martin!

I frequently find that I cannot really tell which Style is selected in the Styles Palette as the highlighting is too light. I looked in the preferences and did a quick scan of potentially relevant threads but did not see a way to change the color scheme. Is this possible? If not I'd like to request ...

Agreed. The contextual menu was the second option I tried to introduce highlighting to the find expression. When that failed, I performed the copy and paste that sent me down the wrong path. It would be a great addition to have highlighting available in the contextual menu.

Thanks, Hamid and Martin. I finally figured out what went wrong. I had originally copied and pasted a selection into the find window. I then selected the text and replaced the text with the Anything wild card bubble. (At first I was unsure how to highlight the text in the find box, so I had used thi...
