custom dictionary??

just got my new iMac, downloaded latest Nisus. I was using 5.0 ( I think) and had custom dictionaries for each book, opening whatever dictionary as I require it. I really need those, do I have to go back to my old system or is there multiple dictionary capability here I can't find?

Alex,

I appreciate that you miss features from Nisus Writer Classic.

Actually, in OS X the dictionaries are no longer under the "control" of Nisus Writer, but the Operating System (i.e. supplied System-wide by Apple). Therefore, we do not have a way to enable you to use different dictionaries (other than for different languages) for different projects.

That time may come.

I think you can use Spell Catcher (commercial), Excalibur or cocoAspell to create user dictionaries that would be accessable to NWE.

But I'm not sure if it's possible to export your own old user dictionaries from NW Classic, though.
