Nisus Writer Pro will create a title for your document based on the first few words of the document.
The rules Nisus Writer Pro uses to name a file are, in order of priority for naming:
• text marked in a Title or Heading style;
• text that is centered or larger or bold or marked for the table of contents;
• text in longer paragraphs are given the lowest priority.
When you close the window Nisus Writer Pro will not ask if you want to save the file, but, will close
the file and save any changes made as it stores the file in the Document Manager.
