Appendix I
The Nisus Writer Pro Menus
For reference, this section gives a brief description of every menu command in Nisus Writer Pro.
Details on how to use the commands in conjunction with one another to accomplish tasks appear
in later sections of the manual. It is structured by the order of the menus on the Menu Bar; the
commands in the Nisus Writer Pro menu are discussed first, then those in the File, and so forth.
Conventions
Every application uses its own menu bar. If a menu command is dimmed, it is not available in the
context of your work at that time. Ellipses (…) identify commands that require dialog entries. Check
marks (✓) identify selected menu items. If you select a region of text that has more than one font
size and/or style associated with a portion (though not all) of it Nisus Writer Pro displays a dash (-)
beside all those attributes partially represented in the selection. Wedge-shaped symbols (
▸
) identify
submenus which open to give you access to more commands.
