Never tried out any of the Mac word processors except for Text Edit and Pages, which I checked out in more detail today. They’re pretty good, but I guess I’ll know more when I start doing my weekly grocery lists on here. Jake On Feb 16, 2014, at 4:52 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: > I still use Nis

Yep, I agree pretty much with that though the scripting of Nisus does make it stand out, you can get a whole heap of scripts from the Nisus web site to try out and modify to your liking. Interestingly Nisus Writer Pro contains a lot of code used in Open Office, haven't used Open Office for ages

Nisus has native RTF support, which Pages currently lacks, and arguably some more powerful features and scripting abilities, etc. Still, I’ve been using Pages more and more lately, and it’s definitely worth having alternatives. Best, Zack. On Feb 16, 2014, at 2:52 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: > I

I still use Nisus Writer Pro, for me its a question of layout more than anything else now that Pages has come a long way in a short space of time, try Nisus and you'll see what I mean. There there are times when Pages, Text Edit, iText Express etc won't read a document correctly with Voiceover,

well, it sounds great in the review, but how does it work with VO? What percentage of these great features are actually useable by a VoiceOver user? I'd like to find a good useable word processor for the MAC, but I want something with more than just klunky and clumsy, "sometimes" accessibility.

Hi Dane Yes, I noticed that a while back while writing a report. I don't think it's a VoiceOver issue since Lynne has also said that she's seeing sluggish behaviour even without VO. I think it's a Nisus issue. Gordon On 24 Sep 2011, at 13:51, Dane Trethowan wrote: This is a problem I'm noti

Hi Dane. That is correct. But that does not solve the problem. There is a bog in the way nisus makes an epub file, so that chapters will not behave as it ought to. I can not find out how to explain in english, what the problem is. Best regards Annie. On Jul 17, 2011, at 2:20 PM, Dane Trethowan

Perhaps I don't fully understand what you're trying to do as I don't use the Epub feature but would the command-enter combination help? That inserts a page break, I think you'll find it in the insert menu as well. On 17/07/2011, at 8:09 PM, Annie Skov Nielsen wrote: > Hi all. > > I have conta

No, that's the only big problem with Nisus I've found thus far, you can create tables easily enough but you can't read them with Voiceover. You can insert tables where you like in your documents and you can see them with Voiceover - that is to say you can see where they are in the document and
