In addition to what Mark said, I would add that we changed the floating palettes so that they are the same as the palettes you can put into your tooldrawer. Before they did not act quite the same way; floating palettes had fewer options. For example, now you can collapse the palette titlebars, they ...

Moreover, before encountering WordNet I never knew that, because I am envious of a friend's repertory of funny stories, therefore being around him is painful. Hmm. According to Nisus Thesaurus, "envious" is defined as: envious (as in "covetous") adj. : showing extreme cupidity; ...

what file format are you saving in? Make sure you are saving in RTF, RTFD, or Word formats to saved formatted text.

MacUnix got it right. There were some keyboard issues for some people that did not show up in our beta testing.

Hi: Problems with services should be fixed in 1.1. (We are in the very final stages of beta testing 1.1, so it should be out any time now.) It works with all the services we have tested it against. Please let us know if you have any problems with the new release when it comes out, since we want to f...

Hi:

Have you tried using tabs when writing right to left in 10.3? Also, have you tried writing with your text full justified? Our tests showed some problems in these area. I would be very interested to know what your experience has been!

Re: v1.1

You had provided beta versions of 1.0 for bug testing. Will you be doing that with v1.1? The community can be a great resource. We all want this product to succeed- you have a loyal group here that you can use. Hi Craig: We decided not to do a public beta for version 1.1 because we wanted to keep t...

Stationary is definitely on our list. In the meantime, you can choose Get Info on any Nisus Writer document in the Finder and check "Stationary Pad". Then, when you double click on the file in the Finder, a copy will be made first and then the copy will be opened.

Thanks. I selected Mac Roman and it worked, but can I get it to default to that setting or will it always open using "automatic"? Right now there is no way to pick a default encoding, but that is a good idea. I will add it to our (long) list of features. I'm glad picking from the menu hel...

How far from the release of the NWE version 1.1 are we today? Will it be released the same day as Panther will be available (Oct 24) or earlier? We are pretty close to releasing 1.1. Currently we are going through the final testing stages. We hope to release right around when Panther is out, but it...

You might want to make sure Nisus Writer is opening your text file using the correct encoding. It tries to guess when you open a text file, but sometimes it gets things wrong. You can select the text encoding by opening the file using "Open" from the "File" menu in Nisus Writer E...

When I started in the word processor business three years ago, I was really surprised at how many people wrote in to tell me that WriteNow was absolutely the gold standard against which they compared all other word processors. It is indeed a very nice word processor! My hope is that in the coming ye...

Good question. For one thing, WordNet 2 was release too late in our development cycle for us to even consider putting it into Thesaurus 1.0 unless we wanted to delay release for some time. Right now, WordNet 2 does not offer enough new things to warrant all that effort. But, we are continuously revi...

Re: no

I am sorry, but a great idea has gone terribly wrong the time ran out on the nisus thesurus, ALL let me say that again, ALL other word processors have a theaurus, but NISUS offers you a free one that the time runs out on. Maybe you haven't looked at the Nisus Thesaurus page lately. 1.0 inadvertentl...
