Be aware of these conventions as you follow the instructions in the manual:
• Text in this style: Command identifies a menu command or dialog option to choose including buttons that appear in dialogs.
Some menus are represented by images not words. In those few cases:
◦ the word Gear represents variants of this item:
◦ the words “Ellipsis, or Options menu” represent variants of this item: 
◦ the Plus (+) button is referred to as in this line
◦ the Minus (-) button is referred to as in this line.
◦ When you are to press certain special keys on the keyboard, the following symbols are used:

Keys to press and the symbols that represent them in the documentation
• Text in Courier font identifies text to type or select in the various instructions.
• Text in Monaco font identifies a path to a specific file, folder or URL.
• Bullets: • (as well as hollow and other variants as in this and the above list) indicate lists of related items that generally do not require a sequence.
• Wedges: ▸ indicate instructions (or, in the section that describes what each menu command does, a command’s presence in a submenu). If you need to follow a series of steps, they are numbered.
You’ll notice that some steps instruct you to choose a menu command while at other times, to complete the same operation you press keys or choose options from various palettes. You can configure Nisus Writer Pro to suit your working style. Try both methods to see which one you like. Because a palette or keyboard option may at one or another time not be immediately visible, most often, instructions are given referring to the menus, which do not change.
