Polishing & Managing Documents
This part of your Nisus Writer Pro documentation contains information that helps you manage and
fine tune documents. It also gives you some ideas on how to use Nisus Writer Pro effectively.
Once, and even while you are in the process of writing, and especially once you have written your
document you will probably want to take a closer look at different portions of it. The various ways to
do this are highlighted in “Moving Around in Your Documents” “Proofing Documents” deals with
checking your spelling. “Finding and Replacing Text” explains the details of Nisus Writer Pro’s
unmatched find/replace tools. If you work in a collaborative environment, or simply want to make
notes to yourself in the document, you will want to study the section “Using Comments in Your
Documents”. “Paginating Numbering Lines, Sorting and More” shows you how to use the special
tools of Nisus Writer Pro to make sure that your text is clean of extraneous characters. “Working
with Multiple Documents” shows you how to keep track of open Nisus Writer Pro documents. In
addition you see how Nisus Writer Pro handles working with multiple windows (and multiple
monitors) as well as automatically merging the contents of one document with anther. When you
are satisfied with the contents and appearance of your document, “Printing Documents” explains
how to transfer what you have written from electronic form to paper.

Moving Around in Your Documents
Nisus Writer Pro is an excellent tool for working with large documents. However, once a document
gets beyond a certain, undefined size, it becomes a bit more difficult to find your way around in it.
Nisus Writer Pro has a number of tools to assist you in doing just that. Many of these tools have
been discussed in other parts of the User’s Guide. The subjects are collected here with cross-
references to where you can learn more about them.
Moving the Insertion Point Using the Keyboard
Nisus Writer Pro enables you to select text using the keyboard with
1 pressed. If you do not press
1 the insertion point moves to the end of what would have been the selection without making the
selection. For more information see “Select using the keyboard” on page 37.
When in a comment, press
0 to return to the body of your document, selecting the commented
text.
Moving the Insertion Point Using the “Select” Commands
Nisus Writer Pro offers a number of “select” commands in the menu Edit > Select. While these are
mentioned in the section “Select using the keyboard” on page 37, some people prefer to use the
mouse or trackpad. The relevant commands available there enable you to track backward and
forward to other locations in your document where you might have been working.
These commands appear on the default version of the Nisus Writer Pro Toolbar as “Back” and
“Forward” arrows.
