Page numbering in Nisus Help Manual is wrong for screen use

Can I suggest the page numbering in the Nisus Writer Pro manual be changed for ease of use on screen? The current numbering is fine for print -- but not for referencing on screen. In Adobe Reader, I just did a "find" for "Quickfix". The first stop; was in the contents: "Dete...

Martin It would be much smarter if triggers alternative to the space after the abbreviation could be offered. I haven't used Quickfix -- I have been using TypeIt4Me since the beginning of time (it feels like) which has the advantage of working in all the applications I use. TypeIt4Me is excellent in...

Hello Greenjuice I use the Document Manager much as Scott does. My document manager includes: * Several long documents I am working on. * Some templates I want from time to time (saved as Nisus templates, .dot, files to the user/Documents/Nisus Documents folder so they automatically appear in the Do...

If the document is not totally confidential, why not send it to the Solanums to look at using the bug reporting facility in the Help dialog? By the way -- have you checked Quickfix? Although that would be very odd if it fixed something in only one font. Hmm -- forget that! Just report it as a bug. C...

Hiya Caat There is a bug in the "Convert to..." actions, by the looks. I just tried converting to small caps and back again in Edit | Convert | ..., and it didn’t work properly the first time, then it did work. Then part of it didn’t work properly, but when I tried to replicate that, it di...

Hiya Wolfie Go to the Lists palette, click on the ltitle drop down menu labelled "Style" and at the bottom you will see "Edit List Styles". Click there, and it will switch to the Style Sheet with all the List Styles selected. (They are at the bottom of the Styles menu on the left...

There is another workaround for this, by using list styles. You can read about this in NWP's help file, under the heading "Use list styles to automatically number figures, tables, etc.". That's very useful, thank you for pointing it out (I've still got to work through the user guide ... m...

No, it doesn't do that, but you can make it, through QuickFix. Click on Nisus Writer Pro>Preferences, then click on the QuickFix button. Click on the "+" button above the typo list, then type "--" in the left column (without the quotation marks), and in the right column, type an...

1. Vertical ruler, absolutely. This really is desperately needed. Nisus pioneered this for WPs, now everyone else has it and NWE/Pro doesn't. The vertical ruler is a boon for anyone setting up pages for any sort of publication. 2. Upgrading of hyphenation Ability to insert soft hyphens. Ability to a...

Re: Section Break's odd behavior

I have wanted to post this since the times of beta 1 but it is continually dropping off my mind. 1) I open a document and insert a Section Break at the end of it. Then I open another file, select some text and drag it right after the section break. However accurate I am, the text drops right before...

Hiya Black Clad Leaping About Person The thought isn't original but I can't remember which program (back in the REAL Mac OS :( ) had it. It allowed you to enter a word either by typing it in or copying from a selection, then you broke the word with tilde marks where you wanted it to break, one tilde...

Atually, a better solution to this problem is to be able to make custom entries to the hyphenation dictionary. If you have a word that you want to see break in a particular way, you can define where it breaks, the priority of alternative breaks, and save it into the dictionary. Alternatively, if you...

Let's hope Nisus takes up your point, ninurta. I can see the argument Martin makes in respect of the ToC stuff, nicka, but at the very least, the umlaut should -- MUST -- be properly displayed ion translation from one document to another. And while I can see Martin's argument about what Word does or...
