Re: nisus express and other software

Q1. When opening MS Word files, most are not well formated. When use other software not MS Word or Nisus they are ok, why ? MS Word files must undergo a conversion process before we can open them. This conversion is not perfect, so we will always do a better job opening the same document saved in R...

Re: Tables

if I do a three column table and try to make a list in the first column I get all 1. or 1. 2. This is because Express treats the order of the contents of your table as appearing from left to right (or right to left depending on language), then top to bottom. Eg, if you have the table: A B X Y And y...

There is no easy way to retrieve that HFS data. Specifically Nisus Writer Classic uses the resource fork to hold all the formatting for your document. Without it you just have plain text, eg: no fonts, language, styles, graphics, etc. I can only hope you might have older backups of your data that st...

I've just tried this myself with the following results: 1. If a document is already opened in Nisus Writer Express, invoking the menu Edit > Copy Selected Citations from Bookends works just fine. Eg: you are switched into Express and the citations are pasted. 2. If no document is open in Express, th...

It is highly unlikely that the beta version of Express triggered this behavior. Printing is one area that we pass almost entirely to the system to handle. Have you changed your configuration of installed applications lately? I would try reinstalling your Adobe applications. Huh - Beta 7? Did I miss ...

Nevertheless, the option "Remove Character Style" is greyed out which might be the case as long as you haven't defined a character style previously. That menu is just to remove character styles applied to text itself, not to remove styles from the stylesheet. (But the wheel icon is always...

That's exactly right. Normally beta versions are limited to about 2 weeks. This is to make sure nobody keeps an old pre-release version around for too long.

Hi Paul, a bug in the current version of Express can sometimes cause this situation to occur. The next free upgrade should prevent it from happening. In the meantime, there are two ways to fix this. The first is to delete your Nisus Writer Express preferences file. The second is more involved, but w...

Yeah, the macros will not preserve attributes, so really we should remove them so people use the Edit > Sort Paragraphs menu instead.
