Greetings From Nisus Land
Students Save Big!
Hey kids! So what did you do on your summer vacation? Me, I took a vacation a few weeks ago. I went to Europe after I heard about some bike race. It was actually pretty easy, considering that I dropped out on the first day. In my defense, I did tell the organizers I was lazy, but they let me in anyway.
Anyway, I am home now and I just noticed that it is time for you crazy kids to go back to school. I am sure all of you parents are just sad about this turn of events. All I can say to the kids is I feel your pain. Listen, I remember when school started after Labor Day here in the States. Now school starts in mid-August, or even earlier. I think it is a plot by parents to keep you kids out of the house for as long as possible.
None of that matters, since I am here to sell software. So in the spirit of that edict, I would like to say that we can ease the pain of going back to school with big savings on the academic version of either Express or Pro. The cost of the academic version of Express is $26, and Pro is $39. To be eligible, you need to be a student, teacher, or a staff member at an educational institution.
So save some cash and get quality word processing software at the same time!
Nisus Writer Pro 1.3
Over 300 Fixes, Features and Fun!
As we announced in the last newsletter, a new version of Nisus Writer Pro has been released. The big news is that Nisus Writer Pro 1.3 introduces a new document manager. This is a feature that I have wanted for a while. And it turned out very, very well. Basically, you manage your documents like you manage your music. You can even create smart groups, just as you would create a smart playlist in iTunes. We even added a style library, and an advanced search that leverages Apple's Spotlight technology.
Other new features include the ability to attach the active document to a new email message (in Mail.app and Entourage only), a selection history (allowing users to jump to prior editing locations), an option to automatically capitalize the first word of each sentence during typing, and you can now turn any menu into a toolbar item.
We have also squashed more than a few bugs. There are more than 300 changes and fixes in this release. We didn't mess around here, people. The full list of all of the changes, features, and fixes can be found on the Pro release notes page.
This release is a free update to current license holders of Nisus Writer Pro. For everyone else, Pro is $79, or $45 for the upgrade version. A Family Pack (three licenses) is available for $99. You can purchase a CD of any of these versions for an additional $10.
Nisus Writer Pro is a Universal Binary and requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or above.
So do yourself a favor and download the demo, or purchase from our store.
You will be glad you did.
Nisus Writer Pro Manual
Updated for Version 1.3
We have been toiling for many minutes trying to write, edit, finish, and ship the latest Nisus Writer Pro printed manual. I am happy to say that we have them in stock, ready to ship to anyone (that means you!) who wants one. The cost is $25 plus shipping and can be ordered from our store.
Order early, as the manuals tend to sell quickly.
Snow Leopard Update
Apple has announced that Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) will be released on Friday, August 28th. The current versions of Express and Pro are mostly compatible, but there are a couple of bugs that need fixing. To address these bugs we will be releasing public beta versions of both Nisus Writer Express and Nisus Writer Pro.
These will be available later this week. We will send out another newsletter when they are available.
