Nisus Writer Pro overview

Nisus Writer Pro is a powerful multilingual word processor, similar to its entry level products, but brings new features such as table of contents, indexing, bookmarks, widow and orphan control, cross references, line numbering, and text wrap around images.

Familiar Classic features are also on board, like attribute-sensitive find and replace, an upgraded Nisus macro language, and glossaries.

We have also improved a number of existing features. For example, we've added a variety of additional options to control the display of notes. Footnotes can now also span across pages.

What’s new in version 3.4.1

  • Fixed: macOS system compatibility issues, mostly for macOS Sonoma or later.
  • Added: Appearance preference "document window title bar style" on macOS 11.0 or later.
  • Fixed: clipboard tag's preview text can incorrectly overlap adjacent tags/controls.
  • Added: thin non-breaking spaces should draw when Show Invisibles is enabled.
  • Fixed: selection changes were not always correct redrawn on screen immediately, e.g. after running a macro.
  • Fixed: wrong fallback font can be used for emoji characters

@ Frankeed from 25 October 2018 –– This is incorrect. Nisus makes it as easy as possible to install whatever version you like. Just go to Past Versions and download the version you want. <https://nisus.com/pro/versions.php> Every Mac User has Time Machine. Installing new software without having a Time Machine backup amounts to playing Russian Roulette.

@bobembry I'm surprised to see you are using TextSoap with Nisus. Everything TextSoap does Nisus can do too! I stopped using TextSoap when I realized this.

It feels like it took forever to get dark mode, but it's a really nice dark mode. I've always loved the speed of Nisus, particularly compared to its MS behemoth cousin. The overall layout and approach of Nisus just makes it a joy to work with.

I use it every day in conjunction with TextSoap https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8974/textsoap to create PDF news summaries and PDF "work books" with wide margins for use with an iPad and Apple Pencil.
