document. These styles are based on standard HTML editing conventions. These
styles only appear when and if you insert an endnote or footnote in your text.
▸ Redefine Style From Selection
When applied to a selection the attributes of which are controlled by
a style sheet, any modifications to the attributes are applied to all
text with that style applied.
▸ Endnote A style supplied in the shipped Nisus New File, applies the user
defined attributes of the Endnote style to selected text.
▸ Footnote A style supplied in the shipped Nisus New File, applies the user
defined attributes of the Footnote style to selected text.
Language Choose from available languages to have Nisus Writer Express check spelling, etc.
according to that language. Those above the first separator line refer to your most
recently used languages. The next list of languages represent those you have
included in your Languages preferences in Nisus Writer Express. Below that are
user defined languages. Below Edit Languages… you may see additional
languages. If you receive a file with a User Language from someone and that User
Language does not match one you have added to your copy of Nisus Writer
Express, that Language name appears at the bottom of the Language submenu.
“Language” is an attribute of your text, not the document. If done correctly,
changing the language of a part of the text changes the input method (keyboard),
dictionary and/or thesaurus (if available) and font (if appropriate).
▸ Remove Language Attribute
Removes any user applied languages, allowing the system language
or languages defined by styles to be used instead.
The command is enabled whenever the selection has a particular
language attribute applied.
When in the Find/Replace window this command displays as Any
Language. In this instance it functions the same as having the
Attribute Sensitive checkbox unchecked (for that particular
attribute).
▸ Edit Languages… Opens the Languages preferences dialog in which you can modify
existing or create new language settings.
Font Lists all the fonts you have that your version of the OS can display. These are
generally in any of the following folders
/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
/Network/Library/Fonts
/System/Library/Fonts
and any fonts in the Fonts folder of the OS 9.x, Classic “System Folder” so long as
they are not being managed by a Classic font management tool.
Choose a font from the Font submenu to apply it to the current selection. If you
have no text selected, Nisus Writer Express applies the font change at the
insertion point, and as you type, the text displays in the font you have chosen.
Nisus Writer Express lists all available fonts in the submenu which you can apply
to the current selection. A check mark precedes the currently selected font. If you
select a range of text displaying multiple fonts a dash appears before those fonts
which are present in the selection.
Nisus Writer Express lists the most recent five fonts you have chosen for easy
access at the top of the Font submenu. Nisus Writer Express restarts this list
when you restart the application.
The fonts appear in the list displayed in their own font (WYSIWYG) if you set your
Appearance Preferences of Nisus Writer Express to do this (see “Choose Various
Display Options for Your Documents” on page 225). Displaying the Font menu this
way causes initial activation of the application to take longer.
▸ Show Fonts Opens the Fonts panel which allows you to choose from various sets
of fonts or font families, the typefaces they support, and their
various sizes.
▸ Remove Font Attribute
Removes any user applied fonts from the selection, allowing the
System font or the underlying font defined by styles and/or the
Nisus New File to be used instead.
The command is enabled whenever the selection has a particular
font attribute applied.
When in the Find/Replace window this command displays as Any
