Nisus Writer Express - Manual (Page 53)

Getting Started The Nisus Writer Express Menus (Table Menu) 33
Macro Menu
Use commands of the Macro menu to automate aspects of how you use Nisus Writer Express. The
Macro menu supports submenus that consist of folders inside the Macro folder.
Run Selection As Macro
Executes the selected macro commands.
New Macro Opens a new Untitled document window ready for you to enter the code for a Perl
Script or Nisus Writer Express macro. When you choose Save As, navigate to the
folder
~/Library/Application Support/Nisus Writer/Macros/
Nisus Writer Express appends the appropriate extension “.nwm” (Nisus Writer
Macro).
Load Macro…
Presents an Open dialog that allows you to select a macro to open (load) so that it
appears in the Macro menu.
Open Macro Folder
Opens the Macro folder in the Finder.
Save As Macro…
Saves the current Nisus Writer Express document as a Macro. You should only
use this command if your document contains macro instructions.
The name of each macro file appears in alphabetical order in the lower portion of the menu.
Templates Nisus Software supplies some Perl templates to help you get started. These are
kept in the templates folder inside the Macros folder. You can group and store
other macros in folders in a similar fashion.
Other macros (or folders of macros) may be available when Nisus Writer Express is
released. These will appear on this menu.
Window Menu
Choose commands from the Window menu to manage document windows.
The names of open documents appear at the bottom of the Window menu in alphabetical order. If
the document name has a bullet in front of it, the document has changed since it was last saved. If
the document name has a diamond in front of it, the document is “minimized” in the Dock.
Choosing a document name from the Window menu brings its window to the front. The document
name with a check is the active window.
Minimize This has the same effect as clicking the Minimize (amber) button, it sends the
window to the Dock.
Zoom This has the same effect as clicking the Zoom (green) button, it alternates between
the full height and width of the window and its previous display size. The fully
zoomed size differs depending on whether you use Draft or Page View.

Express palettes.

palettes for your work.

windoid.
