Greetings From Nisus Land
"Lion Compatible Express and Pro Released"
In the last newsletter we announced beta versions of both Nisus Writer Express and Nisus Writer Pro. This time we are happy to announce the release of the final versions of Nisus Writer Express 3.4 and Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.1.
Nisus Writer Pro 2.0.1 has received a handful of fixes for issues that appeared after its release. These fixes include a page number display bug, a Bookends scanning issue, and various fixes for .doc/docx importing. Pro 2.0.1 has received fixes for Lion compatibility and adds the new Lion full screen feature. Those of you who are using other supported versions of OS X will have full screen as before.
Nisus Writer Express 3.4 adds Lion compatibility, Lion full screen, and receives a (large) number of bug fixes. This update also includes a different file importer that is compatible with both Intel and PowerPC Macs. Unfortunately making this change eliminates WordPerfect read only capability.
We are also releasing Nisus Writer Pro 1.4.2 for those of you still using Pro 1.x. This release contains basic Lion compatibility, fixes for .doc/.docx importing and other smaller fixes.
These new versions are available now and are free updates to all users of Nisus Writer Pro 1.x and 2.0 and Nisus Writer Express 3. You can update either through the applications themselves or by downloading at the Express and Pro download pages.
Nisus Writer Pro 1.4.2, 2.0.1 and Nisus Writer Express 3.4 require Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher.
So if you are using Lion these updates are important for you and should be downloaded immediately! If you are not using Lion these updates are important for you and should be downloaded immediately!
Nisus Writer Pro 2
"A Writer's Tool For An Actual Writer"
Not many people are aware of this but in my spare time I am an author. Those of you who read this newsletter regularly are probably shaking your collective heads in disbelief. Hey, people who have known me for many years shake their heads in disbelief! That being said, I am the author of such bestselling books as Dining Out In Greenland, Los Angeles, Where To Find It, and A Teenager's Guide To Gary, Indiana. I am often asked about my preferred writing tool. Well, I think we all know what that tool is. But I can't sell chisels and tablets here so I am going to write about Nisus Writer Pro 2.
Pro 2 is full of features that our customers have requested, and a few that no one asked about but we added anyway. The marque features are:
Those are just the highlights. There are over 500 fixes, additions, optimizations, and other changes in Pro 2. If you would like to read the full list of changes in Pro 2 you can head over to the Pro release notes page.
If you would like to purchase Pro 2 from our store you can for only $79 for the full version and $49 for the upgrade from Pro 1.x. A family pack can be purchase for $99 (or you can upgrade a family pack for $69). A CD is available for an extra $10 plus shipping.

Ensorcelled 7 Sphere
"The Reviews Are In"
Many great things have come out of Nisus Software. Back in the day, we had multiple clipboards, editable clipboards, unlimited undos, and non-contiguous selection. We innovate here at Nisus!
However, the Ensorcelled 7 Sphere is not new, original, or innovative. It is, however, a great time suck and a colossal waste of time. So visit, ask questions, and bow down to the power of the Ensorcelled 7 Sphere!
You have been warned.
Nisus Writer Pro Macros
"Lorem Ipsum What?"
If you haven't explored our site, you are missing out. For example, the Macro Repository has many useful macros that help to extend and add to Nisus Writer Pro. For example, one of my favorite macros is the Lorem Ipsum macro (direct download link). Many of you like to add a bit of Lorem Ipsum to your documents. I happen to use it in everyday writing, but that's not important now.
Anyway, once the macro is installed you will be able to easily add Lorem Ipsum to your heart's content.
We highly encourage you to check out the other macros in the repository as well. There are many useful macros there, and many resources to help you if you would like to install, write, or request a macro.
So check it out, look around, and even participate in the macro forum. We are all here to help. After all, as Thomas Edison once said "Euismod justo placerat penatibus rhoncus lectus curae dignissim risus dictum, aliquet semper sit sed."
