How can you set up a template that uses the weird spacing, tab sets, font attributes necessary for legal documents. I hate Word and would like this program to work. Help please.....tjk :|

Hello 009 (licensed to litigate?)

You do it with Styles, paying close attention to "Next Style" and/or putting in text markers for specific sections.

When you have made up your template, you save it as a .dot (Document Template) file into the User/Documents/Nisus Documents folder so it appears in the Document Manager.

Double click to open an "Untitled" copy whenever you need one.

For some discussion on setting up styles for specific documents, look for references to using NWPro as an outliner.
