Modify the Nisus Writer Pro Tooldrawer
The Nisus Writer Pro Tooldrawer holds a number of palettes to ease the manipulation of your
document and its text.
Palettes are grouped according to task. You can switch among the various groups using the five
buttons and the right-pointing chevron (or guillemet ») at the top of the Tooldrawer. You can
rearrange the layout of the palettes by dragging them around within the Tooldrawer. You can drag
any or all palettes out of the Tooldrawer creating floating palettes that you can place anywhere you
like on your screen. When you close a floating palette it returns to its original location in the
Tooldrawer.
