Hmm. I think I wasn't quite clear. In Word, you can hit the shortcut (Command option S, I believe, on mac--windows it's control shift s) and it puts keyboard focus into the style list. When you type, it filters the style list based on your typing. And it does it either full word (yes, you can type "...

So Word has a nifty shortcut-- I think it's command option s or something-- wherein you can hit the shortcut key and immediately type, and it selects a style based on your text. Hit return or enter, and it applies the style. This enables mouse less style management. Typically you can name your style...

I would assume that Nisus is doing the entire typesetting process at once, before allowing the user to interact with the document. Other programs do it in the background. You can see this if you open a word document that's huge, and immediately drag the slider bar to like page 600 or so--it takes so...

I'm pretty sure NWP does not have alignment guides. You could probably do something with tables with invisible lines, though. A kludge, I agree. As far as a booklet: do you mean like double sided printing? Double facing pages, with the concept of a right page and a left page? If so, you want to look...

So, table has something like this: Cell 1 Cell 2 Smith v. Jones Cases:Smith v. Jones, 123 P.2d 345 (Utah 1996) _________ (next cell...

So I have experimented and it turns out you CAN do a Table of Authorities with Nisus; in fact it might be easier than in Word. (Cue shock). Well, I should qualify that a bit.... easier in some ways, but slightly harder in others. Here's how, for future reference. The trick lies in subindexes. Create...

A table of authorities technically speaking IS an index; an index of citations to be specific. Let's say you are writing your legal document and you refer to the case Smith v. Jones on four different pages. You need to list Smith v. Jones in the Cases section of your Table of Authorities (there's se...

So I've followed Nisus for years, even back in the old classic days, and enjoy running Nisus compact in various emulators. So here's my question: now that my state has started requiring court documents to be filed in RTF format, it seems like a perfect time to switch to Nisus. Can Nisus do a Table o...
