Mariner seem to have been moving into the Windows world too, unless I'm much mistaken. Have they ported Write?

In the meantime, it's pretty easy to build your own templates. The only thing that's missing is an "Open from Template" menu. I use the Document Manager as a workaround for this as I the only other files that go in there are temporary saves; but I would like a menu for the purpose. And I g...

Yes, this happens all the time in tab-placement, for instance. You're talking about 1/100 of an inch, which would just about need someone with a magnifying-glass to detect. I use generally use centimetres as my measure for a number of reasons, and can get a similar rounding problem, but .01 cm is sm...

@scottwhitlock: You can already do this ... the sidebar is customisable, and any palette can be dragged onto the desktop. I have Character, Paragraph, Lists and Image permanently on the desktop, and the sidebar open with Styles, Language and Statistics showing. The other things which I use less ofte...

Turn on "Show Invisibles" in the View menu, and you will see that that empty page in fact contains at least one blank line ... you will see the end-of-paragraph mark(s). Just place your cursor immediately before the last of these and press the delete key the number of times until it goes b...

Thank you, xiamenese, that solves my problem perfectly. I wouldn't have thought to try 'v' otherwise. :) (Other than that, though, I haven't had any problems.) Glad to have helped. But I do seriously recommend you give QIM a try ... you can use it for free, but paying the USD20 brings you benefits ...

Standard pinyin, for ü vowels type v, ie lü enter as lv. lv = 绿 lu = 路 QED :wink: Mark Further suggestion added later: have a look at QIM with QIT. Much better than the Apple input system; works better, customisable, switching between simplified and traditional characters done within QIM, no need to...

Well I figured out what happened. Somehow the file was saved in the old RTF format. Apparently as long as I didn't exit from Nisus Writer the images were displayed but when I exited, the file was written without the images. How the file type changed I have no idea! After some searching in the docs ...

Yes, Word 95 and Excel 95 docs -- I was still getting files produced on those particular disaster areas very recently -- are always a problem. They are the prime reason why I still keep a copy of MacLink Plus around ... to handle legacy stuff like that.

Or put in a blank line, put a tab at the right margin, double click the tab set it to "right tab" and choose "Underline" as the leader ... you have a range of line formats to choose from. Then simply type a tab character in that paragraph.

Martin, I'm putting this here 'cos I don't know where else to signal this. I noticed there was a new posting in the Nisus Writer Pro FAQ forum, so I went to have a look. What happened? A message saying "You do not have the permissions to enter this forum" ... ??? Can't read the FAQs in an ...

Then I'm stumped. I would still put my bet on the keyboard or keyboard software, though it's curious that it apparently only does it in NWP. Are you sure it doesn't happen in TextEdit, Bean or any of the other apps based on the Apple Text Engine (Word uses Microsoft's own proprietary text engine)? A...

I'm one who jumped, so I've been on 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2 and 10.5.3 and I've never seen anything like that. I've just thought ... I don't think you've said what hardware you are using. You haven't had a "coffee moment" with your keyboard have you? The only other thing I can think of is tha...

Hmm ... by keyboard shortcut manager I meant anything like Quickeys, or Typeit4me, anything like that. As another possibility, when you're typing at speed, do you find you occasionally put a space after a word, a comma or other punctuation mark without thinking about it, and then put in the quote ma...

Looking at the example in your post, I thought you had a space between the comma and the ‘ but when I copied and pasted that stretch it seems not. 1) Does this also happen with double quotes? 2) How are you entering your quotes? With the ordinary key ' or with Alt-] and Shift-Alt-] ? 3) Have you don...
