![]() ![]() ![]() This is a serious tool for people with heavy-duty writing needs - those writing books, dissertations, academic papers, legal documents, and other complex works are most likely to benefit from what Nisus Writer Pro can do best: manipulate text, in almost any way you can imagine. Nisus pioneered features that are now nearly universal, such as noncontiguous selection (now called “multipart” selection) and unlimited undo and redo.īefore I go on, I should acknowledge that if your word-processing needs extend no further than the occasional business letter or shopping list, Nisus Writer Pro may not interest you much. Of course, Nisus Writer Pro retains such trademark features as multiple, editable clipboards extensive support for multilingual text, especially in right-to-left languages the world’s best find-and-replace capability a built-in macro language a glossary feature for automatic text substitutions a first-rate table editor multiple columns, sections, and other layout features heavily customizable autonumbering, bookmarking, cross-referencing, indexing, and tables of contents footnotes and endnotes user-defined paragraph, character, list, and note styles and a tremendously adaptable user interface, with such niceties as custom mnemonic multi-key shortcuts (such as Command-S-A-P for “Save as PDF”). Nisus Writer Pro 2.0 can also create PDF files with proper tables of contents and clickable links to internal references, export documents in EPUB format, add watermarks behind page contents, display a vertical ruler, show a customizable menu palette of special characters, and link to image files stored on disk. Among the headliner features of this release are several capabilities I’ve been wanting eagerly for years - change tracking, paragraph borders and shading, and drawing tools. They detail over 500 changes, including major new features, minor alterations, and bug fixes. The release notes make for extremely interesting reading. ![]() After following Nisus Writer’s ups and downs carefully these many years, I am equally shocked and delighted to say this is the first version of the application since Mac OS X was released - over ten years ago - that I can seriously contemplate using for my own professional writing. In fact, it goes quite a bit beyond that. It had been more than a year since its last update, but the new version includes a vast number of improvements that more than justify the delay. Nisus Software recently released Nisus Writer Pro 2.0, a major revision to the company’s legendary high-end word processor. #1655: 33 years of TidBITS, Twitter train wreck, tvOS 16.4.1, Apple Card Savings, Steve Jobs ebook.#1656: Passcode thieves lock iCloud accounts, the apps Adam uses, iPhoto and Aperture library conversion in Ventura.#1657: A deep dive into the innovative Arc Web browser.#1658: Rapid Security Responses, NYPD and industry standard AirTag news, Apple's Q2 2023 financials.#1659: Exposure notifications shut down, cookbook subscription service, alarm notification type proposal, Explain XKCD. ![]()
