Re: Can't make the dictionary remember words

Thanks for the help! The read and write were set correctly, but the file was "locked". I unlocked it, and now my added words appear in it.

Can't make the dictionary remember words

I am trying to add words to the US English dictionary. However, if I add a word such as "Wrangham" or "erectus" (from Homo erectus), the red markings showing it to be misspelled disappear for a few minutes, and then return. I understand that Nisus uses the the built-in Apple dict...

Sonoma compatibility

I thought I'd try the Sonoma beta. Is Nisus Writer Pro compatible?

Bookends 14.0

I was just notified that Bookends have made an upgrade to version 14.0 and has changed something internally so that for example Nisus must be updated before the connection between the two applications work. Could you please comment on this? If a new version of Nisus Writer Pro is necessary, when wil...

Corrupt spell checker database?

I attempt to teach my dictionary new words. Most of them are remembered, but then, a few minutes later, or a day later, the dictionary has forgotten them. This is without me ever shutting down Nisus. Except when it crashes (which happened today, version 3.0.4). Today, I attempted to teach the dictio...

Re: Swapping italics and normal

Thanks, I will try this out!

I would suggest that this was turned into a feature of Nisus. One can never know if a publisher wants italics or not for quotes. And I don't have a publisher yet for this work.

Swapping italics and normal

I have a style in italics where I emphasize using normal type. Now I would like to try out moving to normal, and therefore use italics for emphasis. Italics to normal, normal to italics.

Is there a way to do this automatically? Otherwise I need to go through a 400 page document by hand.

No pictures after Bookends scan in the created document

I uses version 2.0.6 and the latest Bookends version, 12.0.5. Today when I scan the document I discover that there are no pictures in the resulting output, just picture placeholders (rectangles with a cross over them). What gives? I had updated both NWP and Bookends before I scanned a document, so N...

Re: Section numbering compatibility with MS Word

I have sent you a file to look at by email.

"Export as" gave the same results as "save as".

Section numbering compatibility with MS Word

Two possibly related issues. I write in Nisus Writer Pro but have to export to MS Word .doc format. My sections are numbered in Nisus. When I "save as" in .doc format, the section numbering works fine when I open the converted document with Nisus. But when I open the same .doc document in ...

Page break in style

I am wondering if there is a possibility to include a page break in a style. I would like My_Heading_1 to always start on a new page as it can do automatically in "competing products", MS Word and OpenOffice. I am a newbie, and a recent convert to Nisus, but to the best of mine and google'...
