Nisus® Software Newsletter

In this letter:

Greetings From Nisus Land
"Fourth of July Sale"

It's been an interesting few weeks, I will say that. Very illuminating.

I was promised a trip to Europe, all expenses paid! Little did I know that I was actually a part of the spy exchange that happened a few weeks ago. I am not actually a spy, I just think that someone at work wanted to get rid of me.

Well, the joke is on them, since I am not allowed in Austria. There were incidents ... I will admit nothing, but let's just say things happened and I can never go back.

Anyway, after many weeks of using the underground to get to a country that would acknowledge my existence, this newsletter is back, baby! And just in time for school, too.

So read on and see what we are pushing ... er ... offering this time around.

I can tell you this, it isn't free Bumpers.


Academic Versions
"Discounts for Students, Faculty"

Is it just me, or is the school "Summer vacation" getting shorter and shorter? I can remember school ending in late May and not starting up again until after the first weekend in September. Now it seems that as soon as the school year ends, the new school year begins. Around here stores have already started their "Back To School" sales. Well, we are not going to sit around and take that, are we? No!

So, if you are a member of the faculty, a student, or employed by a scholastic institution, you qualify for the academic versions of both Nisus Writer Pro and its little brother, Nisus Writer Express.

The academic version of Nisus Writer Pro is only $39 and can be purchased from the Pro academic page. The Express version is $26 and can be purchased on its academic page.

We hope this eases the pain of having to go back to school so quickly.


Nisus Writer Pro + Manual
"Save Big On The Bundle"

For those of us who are not eligible for the academic discount, we are going to offer a special bundle deal that is available only to us. And by us, I mean everyone. What can I say, I am a softie.

Buying Nisus Writer Pro and the Pro printed manual is priced at $114 plus shipping. However, if you purchase our special bundle of Pro and the manual, the cost is only $99 plus shipping. This means a savings of $14. Put another way, the savings is enough to purchase a decent lunch, or a Venti-sized drink at Starbucks (what is a Venti? Is it a large drink? Who names these things?).

You can order this special bundle by clicking on this link.

Now go enjoy your large coffee drink.


Tips and Tricks
"Spell Check In My Language"

Rock Strongo here, ready to tackle yet another thorny question from another thorny customer.

Mr. E.F. Hudson of Hardcastle upon Tyne writes to us about a problem he is having with spell checking.

"I live in the UK, and I am using a new iMac with British English as my only language. Yet, when I installed Nisus Writer Pro, it insists on using US English when I check my spelling. Why do you insist on doing this? Why isn't the spelling check in British English?

You Americans are a cheeky lot.

Cheers!"

We do not know what language you are running, unfortunately. But, you can change the spelling to the language of your choice by changing the Nisus New File.

  1. Open the Preferences, which is located under the Nisus Writer Pro menu.
  2. Click on the New File icon.
  3. Click on Format. In the New File preferences area, click the Format tab.
  4. Under Character, choose the language of your choice (in your case, British English) from the pull down menu.

That's it! The changes take place immediately, so you are ready to enjoy your spell checking in your preferred language. Please note that this tip only affects new files.

Keep those cards and letters coming, kids!
