Most of the text editors and readers are not configured to decipher the format of. It is the only one I found for use on my Android tablet that works at all well. The folks at Nisus kindly supplied me with a license of NWP for the purposes of review. You can see a lot more of the features of Nisus Writer Pro here, where you can also download a free 15-day trial, while you await Game 3 of Royals vs. It starts right up, closes right down, and never is glitchy in between. Word and Pages (sorry, Microsoft and Apple! I didn’t intend to use your products as foils) both run sluggishly sometimes on this machine, but Nisus Writer Pro never has. This late 2008 MacBook o’ mine is the little (computer) engine that could. The staff I’ve interacted with is really great. Yes, I read it all for this review–no, not really. There’s some nifty integration between that program and Nisus Writer Pro. One of the drop-down menus has an “Activate Bookends” command. Via palettes you control styles, font/formatting, tables, drawing, etc. You can also hide the palette so you’ve just got the document in front of you. AND… you can create your own palette, customized with the tasks and functions from the Palette Library that you most use. Setting up margins, headers, footers, even multiple-columned documents is easy to do via the palettes (the bar on the right of the document above). The customizable palette groups get the job done (Textilus has been recommended I’m working on getting that up and running now.)ģ. rtf files is difficult, so I’m still looking for a consistent way to get from iOS to my Dropbox-saved NWP documents. One bummer (not Nisus’s fault): finding a good app for iPad that plays nicely with. Pages (.pages) is another story, but I think I’m over it. You can open aforementioned Word (.docx) documents easily. This means your NWP documents are fairly universal. This is easy to set up–the Insert menu gives you the option to insert Automatic Numbers there, one of which is the word count, which I like to have in front of me as I whittle down my weekly sermons to something that will keep all of us awake. The layout is clean and easy to navigate right awayĪt the very top of the screenshot you’ll see the Word Count in the footer (i.e., of every page). Here are 6 things about NWP I really like, one for each of the Royals’ playoff wins as of the time of this post’s being published:ġ. So far, like the KC Royals, Nisus Writer Pro has a 1.000 winning percentage with me. But the first time I used it I was able to almost immediately–without even reading the Help!–get my document to do the handful of things I wanted it to do. It’s a sophisticated program, with a lot of customization options I’ve barely begun to use. Nisus Writer Pro is to my word processing what the Kansas City Royals are to baseball right now: fresh, fun, powerful, and totally adept at getting the job done. I’ve been using it regularly for about a month, and see no need to use another word processing program from now on. A number of Scrivener users I interact with recommend Nisus Writer Pro. I started using Scrivener this summer, but, as Scrivener is the first to acknowledge, that program is not designed for tweaking the layout and final draft of a document. And the new Pages is clunky and seems like it wants to hide my saved documents from me. Even after years of using Word, drawing a table or making columns seems harder than necessary. No offense to Microsoft Word and Apple’s Pages, but neither one had really hit the spot for a go-to Mac word processor for me.
