Create a Nisus New File
You can create any file you like and save it as your Nisus New File. The Nisus New File is a special
case of a template or stationery file. The Nisus New File is the file that Nisus Writer Pro opens when
you choose the menu command File > New. The easiest way to “create” a new Nisus New File is to
edit the existing Nisus New File as explained in “Edit your Nisus New File” on page 120. However,
you can also use the following procedure.
1. Choose the menu command File > New.
2. Give the file all the text, with all the attributes you want for your “New” file. (Modify the existing
styles if you like).
3. Choose the menu command File > Save As….

5. Choose Document Template from the File Format pop-up menu.
6. Navigate to the appropriate location on your hard drive
~/Library/Application Support/Nisus Writer/
as indicated in Figure 136 above.
7. Click Save.
Restore the “factory settings” of your Nisus New File
If, for any reason you want to begin anew (Spring Cleaning, and all that) and, after many
modifications, you want to use the formatting and file which Nisus Writer Pro ships as your Nisus
New File, the process is simple.
▶
Click Restore Factory Settings in the Advanced portion of the New File preferences pane.
Figure 129 on page 118, Figure 130 on page 119 and Figure 133 on page 121 illustrate these
settings.
