columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and ZDNet says “I’ve turned to Nisus
Writer as my primary word processor, and I’m encouraging my Mac users to do
the same.” and Mac Addict says “For those living in a Microsoft-free zone
(or attempting to), who need a powerful word processor, Nisus Writer is a
great choice.” Nisus Writer has received awards from MacUser U.K., Byte,
BMUG, MacAddict, and Apple Pacific. Users include Dow Jones, The Principal
Financial Group, Stanford University, The Orange County Register, Warner
Brothers, Reuben H. Donnelly, Harvard University, and the United Nations
NGO Women’s Forum.

The writer tools start where ordinary word processors give up. Nisus Writer
5.1.3 handles written documents both large and small with the features you
expect to find in any major word processor. But no other word processor
gives you this much power and flexibility over your words!

Nisus Writer is recognized for innumerable features, including powerful
multilingual text editing and manipulation, especially its find & replace
(“if you can describe it, you can find it”); enhanced graphics (color,
nudge, snap to grid) including desktop publishing features (page within
page etc.); an uncluttered, user-friendly interface with optional floating
tool bars; extensive on-line help; smart style sheets; automatic indexing,
table and equation tools.

Nisus Writer also includes unlimited undos, noncontiguous and rectangular
selection, and customizable keyboard menu equivalents. In addition, users
can employ two powerful scripting dialects to write their own features
accessed through custom menu commands.
