Creating Documents 59
Save all your files automatically to the Document Manager
Perhaps the easiest is simply to use the Document Manager as a your default Save as location as
explained in “Save files automatically in the Nisus Writer Pro Document Manager” on page 54.
▶
Set your Saving preferences to Keep new documents in Document Manager without asking
me.
Each and every file you create gets saved to the Document Manager unless you purposely and
consciously save the file elsewhere.
Save your file (as needed/desired) to the Document Manager
You may be working on a new, untitled file, or on an existing file that is saved in some other folder
on your hard drive. You can save this file in the Document Manager without Nisus Writer Pro
interrupting your work, and asking for a name, or where to keep the file with the Save as dialog.
This can also keep the original copy of the file in its existing location.
▶
Choose the menu command File > Save in Document Manager.
Nisus Writer Pro automatically gives your file a name and saves the file in the top level of the folder
you have designated as your Document Manager folder. This is the same as if you had chosen the
menu command Save in Document Manager > All Managed Files.
The Save in Document Manager command has a submenu with a number of commands. You can
choose any of these commands to save the file to either the
• Style Library
This makes any styles in the saved file available to any other files. Maintaining a Style Library is
explained in detail beginning on page 107.
• Templates
This makes the entire file available as a template (“.dot”). You can then open a copy of this file,
with all its current content, and it will open as Untitled. You can learn more about the Nisus
New File and other template documents in the section “Understanding Template (Stationery)
Documents” beginning on page 115.
• Custom Group or Folder Group
If you have set up any custom or folder groups, as explained in “Create special groups of files”,
on page 63, you can move your file to any of those.
Save your file to the Document Manager with a new name
You may be working on a new, untitled file, or on an existing file that is saved in some other folder
on your hard drive. You can save this file in the Document Manager and give it a new name (if you
want). This will keep the original copy of the file in its existing location.
▶
Choose the menu command File > Save As in Document Manager….
Nisus Writer Pro opens the Save as dialog at the top level of the folder you have designated as your
Document Manager folder ready for you to name the file. It suggests a name based on the first few
words of the document.
The Save As in Document Manager… command has a submenu with a number of commands. You
can choose any of these commands to save the file to either the

Move your file to the Document Manager
You may have a file in one or another folder on your hard drive. You can move this file into the
Document Manager. The original file will no longer appear in its former location. You cannot use
this command on files that reside on external drives, as this would not move, but copy them.

Choose the menu command File > Move to Document Manager.
