Determine What QuickFix Fixes
The QuickFix preference of Nisus Writer Pro can fix your typos as you type, it can turn on or off
“Smart Punctuation” (including curly quotes) and it can automatically superscript ordinal numbers.
Other common terms for QuickFix are text substitution, autocomplete and abbreviation expander.
In addition to these tools QuickFix enables you to create and use Glossary files.
Use the Glossary to save time. A glossary contains abbreviations with corresponding entries. When
you expand an abbreviation, its entry replaces the abbreviation you typed. Glossary entries can
contain both images and text.
You can have many different glossaries for different collections of abbreviations related to specific
tasks. Note that in this context, “open” really means load (place its contents in the active memory of
the computer).
Various QuickFixes
Each of the following features is language specific. Whenever you apply a language style (as
explained in the section “Writing in Multiple Languages” which begins on page 27), Nisus Writer Pro
uses the “abbreviations” appropriate for that language. Similarly whenever you make a change to
one of the options in the top portion of the QuickFix preferences be sure you choose the language to
which you want it to apply from the Language pop-up menu at the top of the dialog.
