As the work proceeds, the number of XXX flagged comments decreases. If an area needs adjustment I commence the Comment with XXX. I flag my text with Comments (/ Insert / Comment) to allow speedy movement to differing areas using the Navigator (F5). In the text I use Footnotes (for translation of foreign spech) and also Endnotes for more detailed reference to sources. So Heading 1 causes Heading 2, which in turn causes a Style called First para, whch is like Text body but using no leading indent and a three line Drop Capital. My Chapters are marked by Heading 1, with chapter title as Heading 2. As the paragraphs are now marked by the indent of first line, there is no need for estra spacing before or after the paragraph. Paragraph style Text Body is set to be justified, with Automatic indent on first line (this gives 1 em indent). I have changed the Default Page Style to use paper size A5, as that is my target printed size. In it I use a small number of styles using styles correctly will help me do a final layout very quickly when the time comes. It is narrative text (i.e., no illustrations or figures). That menu also will show you the different font sizes in play.I'm currently at work on Volume II of a book (currently at 85K words). Place the selection inside the font size text field and press the Return or Enter key on your keyboard.Ĥ. Use the font size slider, ie: drag the slider's knob left or right to adjust the font size.ģ. Hold down the Command key when you click the font size stepper's up or down arrows.Ģ. To achieve a uniform font size for all selected text, regardless of how many font sizes are in effect, you can do any of the following:ġ. That is, if you click twice to increment the font size +2 points, then any selected text using a 10 point font size becomes 12 points, and some other text using 6 points becomes 8 points.
When you use the up/down arrow "stepper" to increment or decrement the font size of the selected text, the adjustment is applied to each font size independently. What you've described above about adjusting font sizes is true, and is the intended behavior. I assume that there is setting in NWP something along the lines of relative vs absolute and could possible be associated with a style sheet. I've been looking through the User's Guide but have not yet found the answer.
As most of you may know, when multiple text sizes are selected in Pages, the text box remains blank or has a dash in it (I forget which), and any change made to a block of text effects all of it, so the end result is all text matches what was entered into the text box. I've not seen this behavior in a word processor before. With the block selected as indicated below, when I change that size in the text box to 14 pts, the 18 pt text shrinks down to 14, but the 10pt text shrinks to 6 pts. In this case 18 pts, but I've also highlighted another section of text with a size of 10pts. Only one size is shown, the largest size selected. In a text document, that I'm putting together by cut and paste, when I select a block of text of different sizes, in the Tool Drawer, the text size box gives no indication that text of multiple sizes are selected. Subject Text Behavior: My goal is to change all the text in a selected group of text to the same size.
#Nisus writer pro set margins full
If you do, do you have any thoughts on it particularly as compared to MS Word? I like the the fact that the 15 day trial is full featured, but at the same time I don't know if that's enough time to learn it well since I don't generally spend hours a day in it.Īnyone using Nisus Writer Pro? First impression is good and I imagine a switch from Page to this will not be too painful and it does bookmakrs and a TOC! That said.
I've managed to finish a couple of documents in it(including a syllabus, which was easier than MS word as far as getting it to look how I want) but am wondering if anyone else here uses it. In any case, I'm wondering if anyone else is using it. rtf by default, so I won't be locked out of my documents if decide not to buy.
I also appreciate how easy it is to do things like tables vs. I'm an MS Word user from way back, so the learning curve is there but so far I like what I see. I'm currently about 4 days into a 15 day trial of it, and am weighing whether or not I want to fork over the $80 for it when my trial runs out. I discovered Nisus when I got a copy of it on an HD-20(mid-1980s 20mb Macintosh external HDD), and have used it enough on my 512Ke that I started hunting for it on a whim and found that a current version is available.
