Gobble Gobble!

It is Thanksgiving Day here in the USA, or as my English friend says, “You are Welcome Day.”

This is the day where we get to stuff ourselves full of food, watch football, and be more lazy than usual. There is another thing we celebrate, but that gets lost in the inevitable food-induced coma.

We will need a few days to recover, so we will be off until Monday. I will need at least that long to lose the weight I will surely gain today.

For those of you in the USA and elsewhere who enjoy this holiday, please enjoy the day and be safe.

Nisus Writer Pro 1.2

Nisus Writer Pro 1.2 is now available for your downloading pleasure. This new version adds a few new features, many bug fixes and other fun stuff.

The biggest change is in our file importer. We have replaced the old importer with a completely new one that greatly improves file translations, especially for .doc files. Additionally, we have added export as Word file format (.doc) and the Open Document (.odt) format.

The Table of Contents feature has a few new options: tab/backtab can be used to promote or demote TOC levels, and TOC entries can be rearranged by drag and drop within the navigator pane.

We also added Flesch and Kincaid reading ease scores, automatically updating time stamps, additional backup options, and a Macroize menu. Document properties (author, company, copyright, etc.) can now be edited and inserted as variables.

One feature that I am happy to see is the addition of the Sparkle framework to handle our updates. This will hopefully make updating within Pro much less painful.

There have also been many additions to the Nisus Macro Language. Finally, a host of bug fixes and other enhancements have also been included.

The full list of features and fixes can be read at our Pro release notes page. You can download this latest version from the Pro download page.

This release is a free update to current license holders of Nisus Writer Pro.

Happy downloading!
