The Nisus Writer Pro Tooldrawer
The Nisus Writer Pro Tooldrawer holds a number of palettes to ease the manipulation of your text.
• Almost all of the tools available in palettes of the Tooldrawer have counterparts on the menus.
• However there are more tools that are available in the menus that do not have counterparts in
the palettes of the Tooldrawer.

The Tooldrawer’s palettes hold most of the tools available in Nisus Writer Pro to work on your
document.
Dark gray title bars of palettes indicate that they have operators you can use in the particular
aspect of your document that is active, palettes with no enabled or useful information appear light
grey. You can change the tint in the Document Views portion of the Appearance preferences as
explained beginning on page 378.
The Tooldrawer opens either on the right or the left side of your document window depending on
your setting in Preferences. For more information on Nisus Writer Pro’s General Preferences, see
“Using the General Preferences to Control the Application” page 365. You can override the choice on
a document basis by turning the menu command View > Tooldrawer > Attach on Left Side on or
off.
The palettes are designed to give you an uncluttered working environment, while, at the same time
giving you quick access to information about your document and the tools to manipulate it.
