• To get a count of the characters, words and paragraphs in your footnotes and/or endnotes, you

The Page palette
While it does not appear in any of the default sets, the Page palette is very useful. As with the
Statusbar at the bottom of each Nisus Writer Pro document window, it indicates (when in Page
View) the page number of the currently displayed page (not the location of the insertion point), and
the total number of pages in your document. It also indicates the percentage to which you have
zoomed your window. It also offers additional tools relating to the magnification of your document’s
display.
