Greetings From Nisus Land
"Kyoto Gardens for Mother's Day"

For those of you who do not know Mother's Day is coming soon. This coming Sunday to be exact. You still have time to get something that your mom will enjoy.

Be bold! Be different! Get your mom something that is both relaxing and unlike anything you have purchased for her before.

That something is the Kyoto Gardens CD from our friends at Mercury Software.

On this CD you will take a walk through 24 of Kyoto's most renowned gardens. A seamless panorama of wood, sand, and stone, lets you experience Japanese garden design and the world of Zen firsthand. Maps, slides, screensavers, essays, history, and aesthetics are brought together into a truly interactive cybernetic journey.

Normally, the cost of this fine, relaxing, zen-like CD is $25 plus shipping. However, since it is Mother's Day the cost is $20 plus shipping and can be ordered through the Kyoto Gardens product page.

Kyoto Gardens is a Universal Binary and requires at least OS X 10.3.9.

So stand out from the rest of the crowd and get your mom something that she can enjoy over and over again.

Nisus Writer Pro
"Like a well-worn t-shirt and jeans"

Our users are great! Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and down right fun. As an example, we received an email from Lou Lesko. Lou is a writer/director who started as a photographer and is the managing editor of the National Geographic Assignment Blog. He also looks good in pink.

Well.

Anyway, we received this email from Lou a little while ago:

You know that feeling you get when you put on your favorite, well-worn t-shirt and jeans? I just got that feeling when I started up the program. I really appreciate you setting me up with this. I live in NWP.

In a later email he added this:

By the way, I'm obsessed with your product. It's a best friend a writer could have.

Thank you, Lou, for your enthusiasm for Nisus Writer Pro.

(Disclaimer: Lou Lesko is not paid by Nisus Software, Inc. and is not endorsing Nisus or Nisus Writer Pro. He paid for his copy of Nisus Writer Pro.)

Now if you would like to experience what Mr. Lesko is feeling, all you need to do is to download Nisus Writer Pro and see for yourself. From keeping notes to writing long, complicated documents Pro is the tool you need. Need to produce an eBook? Nisus Writer Pro can export to ePub so your documents (or your book) can be read on eBook readers and tablets.

Features like track changes, comments, and drawing tools, are included. Compatibility is not a problem as the native file format is RTF, which can be read by just about any word processor in existence. Pro can also export to .doc and .docx so your friends using Windows can read your writing. You can mix and match several languages (even right to left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew) with ease. Plus, our find and replace is unmatched by any other word processor.

So if all of this piques your interest please click over to our store and purchase Pro for only $79. For those of you who own Pro 1.x you can upgrade for $49. A three license Family Pack is available as well.

Nisus Writer Pro 2 requires an Intel Mac and at least OS X 10.4.11.

So if you want to feel how Lou Lesko feels, buy today and start enjoying your writing tool.

Tips and Tricks
Custom Toolbar Item

Rock Strongo here with a tip to help you with ... well, things you need help with. This time I have more of a tip and less of a trick.

Did you know that you can create a custom toolbar item? You can associate almost any Nisus Writer Pro command with an icon of your choosing and add it to the Toolbar. You can put a picture of your dog, Elvis, a favorite drawing, a pirate flag... just about anything you would like to use. It's easy to do, and here is how:

1. Choose the menu command View > Tooldrawer > Add Custom Toolbar Item....
2. Choose a command from the Add Custom Toolbar Item browser.
3. Give the toolbar item a (shorter) name if you want by typing it into the field labeled "The name of the new toolbar item."
4. Scroll through the available icons (from Nisus Writer Pro and Mac OS X) and select one that you want. Or, click the Gear menu to the right of "Choose an icon for the toolbar item" and select your custom image.
5. Click Add Item.
6. The new icon appears in the upper left edge of the Toolbar, and the lower right corner of all the icons available for the Toolbar in the Customize Toolbar sheet. The Add Custom Toolbar Item dialog remains on top enabling you to add more custom icons before you determine their location on the Toolbar.
7. Continue adding items if you want or click Done.
8. Move the icons from the Customize Toolbar sheet to where you want them on the Toolbar and click Done.

If you tire of your custom item, you can remove it easily:

1. Click on the icon in the toolbar and Right-click (or Control-click) your custom item in the toolbar.
2. Choose Remove Item from the contextual menu that appears.

That's it!

I hope this tip is useful. Next time I will explain how to lose a guy in ten days. Wait, I think that was a movie. Anyway, I'll have something else soon.

Get back to work!
