Nisus Newsletter

Greetings From Nisus Land

"Why Are They Called The Dog Days?"

In spite of this being the year that keeps on giving, my no pants streak is still alive and well. However, I need to clarify some things as the mail I have been receiving is somewhat disturbing.

First, while it is true I do not wear pants, I do have to live in the world with the rest of you. I wear proper attire while running errands etc. This is a picture of me from a few days ago. Second, I do not live in a shack in the woods. I sold it and now I live in a city with people. Lastly, I have not been run out of town with torches and pitchforks. That happened years ago… when I was wearing pants!

Now if there are no more questions I'll get on with the newsletter, which contains a tip, and if you're a student, a discount.

Please stay safe, wash your hands, and wear a mask.


Nisus Writer Pro Academic Version

"Have We Got A Deal For You!"

Are you a student, teacher, or someone who works at an academic institution? If so, we have a deal for you!

Anyone who fits the above description is eligible to receive a $10 discount on Nisus Writer Pro. All you need to do is write to us and provide proof like a scan of your student ID, or write from your school's email address (.edu, for example). Once we receive your email we'll send you a link to purchase.

For the rest of you, upgrade pricing is still available. The cost is $45 and can be purchased from the Nisus Store.

Either way, you're getting a great deal on writing software crafted by a small developer, not by some large corporation who puts profit over workmanship.

If we get enough of you to upgrade this month, I might consider putting on pants. Who am I kidding? I'm not going to wear pants.


Tips and Tricks

"Stepper Buttons in Nisus Writer"

Even if you don't recognize the term "stepper", you're probably already familiar with those little up/down arrow buttons you see in Nisus Writer and other apps:

Nisus Writer Pro 3.1 and Nisus Writer Express 4.1 enhance stepper buttons. By holding down a modifier key as you click them, you can increase or decrease the adjustment amount:

  • Hold Control for smaller changes, eg: adjust the font size by 0.1 points.
  • Hold Option for larger changes, eg: adjust paragraph spacing by 6 points.
  • For more details please read our blog post on enhanced steppers.
