• Added: file formats: preferences to control whether importer is loaded in background after Nisus Writer launches.
• Fixed: file formats: better interchange with Word for paragraphs with tab stops (Word does not use first/hanging indent locations as tab stops, so we add explicit hard tab stops now).
• Fixed: file formats: hyperlinks saved by Nisus Writer should appear as blue/underlined in Word.
• Fixed: file formats: note styles configured to place notes at the end of a section do not import into Word properly (section notes tend to be placed at end of document)
• Fixed: file formats: list items can fail to show when opened in Word (due to not applying paragraph attributes to the "\cell" terminal).
• Fixed: file formats: the baseline of equations (inserted as images) do not always transfer to/from Word properly.
• Fixed: file formats: floating content anchored to paragraphs with list items/bullets do not always open properly in Word (sometimes Word might strip the image or complain about "out of memory").

• Changed: file formats: we should cull unused styles with silly names created automatically during import process.
• Fixed: file formats: added limited support for reading old list style "pn" controls (Word 95 and earlier).
• Changed: file formats: table column widths imported from ".doc" files could be off by fractions of a point, causing Nisus Writer to undesirably add many empty super-thin columns that are a nuisance.
• Fixed: file formats: comment and tracked changes visibility should be saved to file in a way that Word understands and obeys.
• Fixed: file formats: floating content around/inside tables from converted documents can cause errors or go missing.
• Fixed: file formats: headers/footers could be imported improperly (Word ignores section reset controls it emits in headers and so should we).
• Fixed: file formats: importing files with damaged/malformed stylesheet should not cause crashes.
• Fixed: file formats: importing some files with certain characters in their filenames, on some systems with particular text encoding/language settings, can cause the importer to fail. We now create a temporary hard link with a file name that OpenOffice.org importer doesn't choke on before importing.
• Fixed: file formats: latex files should not trigger the OpenOffice.org importer, which doesn't support them.
• Fixed: file formats: list numbering in the document may not import into Word properly (the list override table must be sorted by index).

• Fixed: file formats: some characters can be imported incorrectly from Word RTF documents.
• Changed: file formats: zero length bookmarks (as saved by other applications) are not discarded on import, but instead are applied as a zero-length space.
• Fixed: file formats: when importing non-Nisus files, Nisus Writer should check to see if a table lies inside the margin area (where table drawing cannot occur). If so, Nisus Writer should reset the table offset so it appears inside the document margins.

• Added: styles: the style menus/tags should have "Select Next in Same Style" commands.
• Added: styles: separate menu commands to add either a Character or Paragraph style based on the selection.

• Fixed: styles: when deleting a style from the stylesheet, Nisus Writer can sometimes fail to warn the user that the style is in use (by another style in the stylesheet).
• Fixed: styles: paste/import of styles should not duplicate all underlying styles if they have existing equivalents in the destination document.
• Fixed: styles: adding a style to a style library collection, whose associated document is already open for editing in Nisus Writer but otherwise unchanged, should not mark the document dirty. eg: the addition should be automatically saved.

• Added: spelling: spelling panel has "Correct All" button.
• Fixed: spelling: soft hyphens should be ignored during spell checking.
• Fixed: QuickFix: typos/corrections that begin with punctuation marks should expand even if they are not preceded by a word delimiter, eg: the text "more..." should QuickFix the ellipsis character.

• Fixed: index: bold/italic font could bleed into text indexing topic upon reopening file and rebuilding the index.
• Fixed: index: deleting an index can incorrectly recreate a new default named index upon reopening the file.
• Fixed: index: deleting an index style from a document could trigger asserts/exceptions.
• Fixed: index: overriding automatic indexing applied via a style with an explicit "index as" should not throw exceptions.
• Fixed: index: remarking some text with the exact same "index as" must not clear all indexing from the text.
• Fixed: index: RTF reader warnings due to indexing attribute bleeding into alt text ("txe" control).
• Fixed: index: spurious RTF reader warning if empty Index field code found in file.

Changes: Images in Version 2.0

• Can link inserted images to a file on disk. These linked images update automatically if the original file changes on disk. Double-clicking a linked image opens the original file in an external application.
• Added: images: user can control how much padding an image has around it.
• Opt: images: files with many large graphics open quicker and require less RAM (Nisus Writer now delays image data interpretation until the image needs to be drawn).
• Opt: images: our "Nisus Compressed RTF" file format only emits image data once when the same image is used multiple times in different parts of the document.
• Added: images: users can choose if inline images draw over adjacent lines of text.
• Changed: images: if image could not be decoded (or is otherwise missing) we display a placeholder of the correct size on screen.

• Fixed: images: copy-paste of content with images could fail to paste the images if the image file name contained certain special characters (like an Em Dash) and Nisus Writer chose to use RTFD.
• Fixed: images: copy-paste of content with multiple similarly named images could result in an image going missing.
• Changed: images: clicking an inline image should not scroll the document unless most of the image is out of view.
• Fixed: images: drag sources (eg: iMediaBrower) that place local image URLs on the pasteboard should be treated just like images, eg: the graphic itself should be inserted, not a hyperlink.
• Fixed: images: dragging/pasting images into a document should applying the ambient attributes to that image.
• Fixed: images: removal of all content that includes a floating image could trigger exceptions.
• Fixed: images: some inserted TIFF images can fail to produce data when saving to file, resulting in loss of the image.
• Fixed: images: user should be able to select multiple inline images at once using the Command key.
• Fixed: images: when reading files with floating graphics in table cells (unsupported in Nisus Writer), we should convert the image to be inline instead of discarding it.

Changes: Lists in Version 2.0

• Changed: lists: using the "Continue Numbering From Previous" command should mark the paragraph so it always continues numbering, instead of only assigning the paragraph a fixed number that happens to be next in the sequence.
• Added: lists: contextual menu should have commands for restarting/continuing list numbering, and increasing/decreasing list level.
• Added: lists: Lists toolbar button should have Increase/Decrease list level menus.
• Fixed: lists: if more than a single list paragraph is selected, and the user adjusts a list style indent via the palette, the indent may change too much or become an invalid/problematic value.
• Fixed: lists: drag-drop of a list paragraph with both the prior newline and following newline selected does not produce good results (loss of list bullet).
• Fixed: lists: if a paragraph has a starting number override, the list numbering menu could show the command "Continue Numbering" instead of "Restart Numbering".
• Changed: lists: if the user sets a "text indent" (hanging indent) that tries to place the paragraph text inside the area used by the list item, the paragraph text is now placed just adjacent to the list item, instead of incremented by the automatic tab distance. This should make it clearer to users when they have a poorly/incorrectly configured list style.
• Fixed: lists: "continue numbering" did not continue properly when certain configurations of content were in between.
• Fixed: lists: adjusting the indent on a list level in the stylesheet should not clear character attributes for that list item.
• Fixed: lists: asterisk characters could incorrectly be shown in tiered list items if a list style used a fixed/bullet for lower list style levels.
• Fixed: lists: can't override list starting number that is enforced through a paragraph style and happens to match the starting number for the list style.
• Fixed: lists: copy-paste of bulleted list items in a document can incorrectly trigger the style conflict dialog.
• Fixed: lists: adjusting Heading level in the TOC Navigator should mark list items dirty.
• Fixed: lists: a variety of problems with list level overrides when list styles are enforced by way of paragraph styles.
• Fixed: lists: custom list bullet attribute applied to Paragraph Style definitions should be taken into account for the style preview.
• Fixed: lists: custom list bullet attribute should not propagate to derived Paragraph Styles unless the listing level is constant (put another way: changing the list level should reset the list bullet).
• Fixed: lists: custom list bullets as part of style definitions could be incorrectly lost on file reopen in certain situations.
• Fixed: lists: invalid ranges could be generated when updating list bullet existence.
• Fixed: lists: typing attributes can incorrectly bleed into existing paragraphs if a new list item needs to be created.
• Fixed: lists: Lists palette can show the wrong list item type (eg: bullet, numbered, etc) for paragraph styles that have a custom list bullet set.
• Fixed: lists: redefining a paragraph style from the selection should never remove the list style from the paragraph style.
• Fixed: lists: removing All Attributes Except styles should update list bullets in the selected range, in case a list level override was removed.
• Fixed: lists: sometimes changes to list levels in the stylesheet do not update ancillary palettes as necessary.
• Opt: lists: updating a list item should not scan for bookmarks in the paragraph when opening a file.
• Fixed: lists: if a list style is enforced via a paragraph style, any custom attributes on the list level (eg: font), could errantly be wiped out if the user also enforces a custom list bullet via the paragraph style.
• Fixed: lists: if a list style was enforced by way of a paragraph style, and then the list level in text was changed, the list items in the document might not be aligned correctly.
• Fixed: lists: copy-pasting content that ended with a paragraph that was empty except for a list bullet would paste without the final list bullet.
• Fixed: lists: changing a paragraph's list level to restore it to that of the list level enforced by the applied paragraph style should not use the list style's indents, but instead use the indents of the paragraph style.
• Fixed: lists: changing the list level format (eg: from bullet to numbered items) should not reset character formatting for that list level.
• Changed: lists: if a paragraph style includes "restart list number" as part of its definition, all paragraphs in the document marked in that paragraph style must show that same restart number (this also fixes some restart/continue numbering updating bugs when this scenario is encountered).
• Changed: lists: if the user clicks in between a list item and that paragraph's text, newly inserted text should use the formatting applied to the paragraph's content, not the list item.
• Changed: lists: made it easier to place insertion point in front of list item.

Changes: Table of Contents (TOC) in Version 2.0

• Added: toc: menus to select the next/previous TOC paragraph.

• Fixed: toc: potential exception when configuring TOC styles.
• Fixed: toc: if a paragraph is included in a TOC, and includes a cross-reference, can produce warnings on saving/reopening the file.
• Changed: toc: TOC entries in the Navigator pane should not be so sensitive to start a drag-drop.

Changes: Tables in Version 2.0

• Added: tables: menus to sort selected table rows by the selected column.
• Changed: tables: copy-paste of discontinuous table selections should insert tabs/newlines between adjacent cell content and preserve the order of the text.
• Added: tables: freshly inserted tables should have a "Table Header" paragraph style applied to the relevant cells.
• Fixed: tables: if a table is enclosed in selection (but no cells have been directly selected), the table cells should still be affected by formatting changes.
• Fixed: tables: merged cells should not lose certain kinds of special content (eg: bookmarks) when a file is reopened.

• Fixed: find: construct to disable especials "\Q...\E" does not always work properly.
• Fixed: find: attribute sensitive matching can fail if matchable attributes are not uniform over the matched text of an attributed wild card subpattern.
• Fixed: find: doing a Replace All in tables, affecting just the selected text, does not always select all changes.

• Added: macros: quitting Nisus Writer while a macro is still running should warn the user.
• Fixed: macros: the order of the "tables" command should be sorted by location in the text object.
• Fixed: macros: using just the tilde as a file path did not always do the expected thing (eg: for the "Choose File" command).
• Fixed: macros: using the "Save", "Save As", etc commands without a file path should return false if the user cancels.

Now the user registry converts stored values immediately, so user can see same effect as if Nisus Writer was relaunched.
• Fixed: macros: using the command "Export As" with a ".doc" file extension should save the file as a binary Word file.

Changes: miscellaneous in Version 2.0

• Fixed: using the menu File > Revert can cause all sorts of troubles. Rather than using Cocoa's strategy of gutting the existing document and replacing the content, we now override the reversion command entirely, so that the current window is discarded wholesale and the document is reopened completely fresh.
• Fixed: multi-key keyboard shortcuts should not fail if the current keyboard layout does not produce English characters (eg: Hebrew). Also, Command + "8" should be recognized as distinct from Command + Shift + "8" (eg: Command + "*").
