Determine the Way the Document Manager Works
Nisus Writer Pro enables you to automatically save files and then easily find and open your files
using the Document Manager.
If you are new to Nisus Writer Pro or Nisus Writer Express (and have never used the Document
Manager in either of these applications) the first time you display the Document Manager it will
appear empty as illustrated in Figure 50 on page 56.
The Document Manager window resembles an iPhoto or iTunes window. Various groups appear in
the pane on the left, a list of files in those groups display in the main pane. A search field is
available in the upper right corner of the window. At the bottom, instead of “Cover Flow” the
Document Manager presents a preview of the contents of your document.
The Document Manager and its preferences are explained in detail beginning on page 55.
Choose the Way in Which Files Save
Nisus Writer Pro offers you several ways to save a document.
You can ignore saving your documents entirely. Nisus Writer Pro (with the Autosave preference
turned on) automatically gives your document a name based on a string of text in the file and stores
the file (unless you set it otherwise) in the folder called
~/Documents/Nisus Documents
And keeps track of your files in the Document Manager as explained on page 366.
