dumb question: is there a way to go to a specific page?

is there a keyboard command to do this or something on the menu? can't seem to find anything about navigating around documents in the manual.

Really interesting. I just assumed I could click on the "page x of x" indicator and go to whatever page I wanted. Apparently I can't.

I was quite surprised find that clicking on the page number did nothing but exercise my finger.

What? Is that not enough?

On the other hand (so to speak), you'll be ready and well-practiced when Nisus adds this functionality. The rest of us will have to build up our clicking-on-the-page work, while you'll already have mad skillz in that arena.

or with connie hawkins-sized fingers.

meanwhile, no comment from the nisus folks about this?

I get the impression that most of the Nisus folks are taking a well-earned break after the pressures of shipping 2.5.

Hope the weather's nice for them, too.

I don't know. I got a personal response back from a bug report.

But I do hope they all take a break for little bit. Some of those guys really burned the midnight oil getting this thing out.

I don't know -- we shouldn't let them get lazy! Find more oil to burn, it's not midnight anymore!

But seriously, Nisus folk, you've done a fantastic job, and I appreciate it mightily. Please take some time off and spend it with whomever you ought, however you like.

Cheers!

I got a good laugh out of all the clicking jokes, thanks guys (and ladies).

As for the feature request: it is a good one and has definitely been submitted as something we should add.

You do know, by now, that Nisus Writer Classic has this ability. We have known how valuable this is for a very long time. It is on "the list". We will implement it. When? Ah, that is a closely held secret.

Secret? Excellent, now we can speculate!
