Using the Documentation
Be aware of these conventions as you follow the instructions in the manual:
• Text in this style: Command identifies a menu command or dialog option to choose including
buttons that appear in dialogs.
Some menus are represented by images not words. In those few cases:
• the word Gear represents this item:
• the Plus (+) button is referred to as in this line
• the Minus (-) button is referred to as in this line.
• When you are to press certain keys on the keyboard, they appear in a special Keys font.
• Text in Courier font identifies text to type or select in the various instructions.
• Bullets :• indicate lists of related items that generally do not require a sequence.
• Wedges: ▸ indicate instructions (or, in the section that describes what each menu command
does, a command’s presence in a submenu). If you need to follow a series of steps, they are
numbered.
You’ll notice that some steps instruct you to choose a menu command while at other times, to
complete the same operation you press keys or choose options from various palettes. You can
configure Nisus Writer Pro to suit your working style. Try both methods to see which one you like.
Because a palette or keyboard option my at one or another time not be immediately visible, most
often, instructions are given referring to the menus, which do not change.
