Re: When will we get a major upgrade of NWP?

Agnostus, I wonder if undocking the palettes from the side drawer, and docking the one to the other to form a floating palette, can do what you are looking for.

Soulbarn, try with the Help > Send Feedback command in Nisus. This should automatically collect your log.
NWP has always been working flawlessly with me, so I'm confident you can get around this issue.

Re: NW for iPad?

Here is something I found in my round-trip from Nisus Mac to Pages iPad, and back. - DOC files exported from Nisus are opened (from Dropbox) with no apparent problems from Pages iPad. The files is converted and copied as a duplicated in the internal storage of Pages. - Paragraph styles (correctly ex...

Re: Why is NWP so painfully slow?

I recently completed my dissertation (122 pages, 25,000 words, 170,000 characters, 309 footnotes, less than 10 cross-references, ~20 illustrations), and did the second phase of my work in Nisus. This comes after a long translation, with a lot of comments (I really mean a lot), I did earlier. With bo...

Re: NW for iPad?

iCloud only - the only way to interact with the cloud directly is through Apple's own service Despite a couple too many taps, what's so bad in using Pages with Dropbox? It seems to work quite fine here. Sure, you don't get direct, elegant syncing as if you were using Pages on both the Mac and iPad,...

Hi, As for the split screen, I would suggest to install the macro I cited in this thread as a very effective workaround: http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3464 It has been noted that the text in the second window does not update dynamically, but I found it very easy to repeat the macro...

Re: NW for iPad?

Scott, Why you call Pages for iOS convoluted? While I don't like the Mac version, the iPad version is elegant, clean, easy to use and reasonably powerful. I dislike the fake-leather finish, and the lack of TextExpander compatibility is a major issue for me when writing with an external keyboard. But...

Re: NW for iPad?

I must add that exchange via Dropbox has been introduced in recent times in Pages for iOS. The process is not all that bad. To open a NWP document in Pages for iOS: 1) In NWP, export as Microsoft Word .doc (binary). Save the file to Dropbox. 2) On the iPad, open Dropbox. 3) Touch the document you ju...

Re: NW for iPad?

As of now, it seems that the only writing app on the iPad that can exchange fully formatted docs is Apple Pages. QuickOffice, DocumentsToGo and Office^2 cannot deal with paragraph styles and insert images, so they are unexplicably unworthy for actual office tasks. (I know, I know - I spend a lot of ...

Re: iPad compatible NWP?

QuickOffice on iOS supports RTF. However, since all wordprocessors for iOS are way more limited than NWP, I doubt everything can be kept unchanged.

Re: iPad compatible NWP?

I suggest to follow the MultiMarkDown way to exchange data between NWP and the iPad. There are a few macros that help doing this exchange effortlessly: http://nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3504&p=16111&hilit=multimarkdown#p16111 Sometimes I miss italics, but I like the added *clea...

Highlighters from OpenOffice

Hi,

I received a DOC document create on OpenOffice PC, and cannot understand how to get rid of highlighters from it in Nisus Writer Pro. I can do the edit in OpenOffice Mac, but I would be glad to discover how to do it in NWP.
