Determine What QuickFix Fixes
The QuickFix preference of Nisus Writer Express 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.
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 graphics 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).
