Title: Tools of the trade: Why I prefer Nisus Writer Post by: HCK on May 23, 2014, 02:00:16 pm Tools of the trade: Why I prefer Nisus Writer
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Word processing isn’t the most amazing thing a Mac can do. But back in 1991, it was a word processor called Nisus (http://www.nisus.com/) that convinced me to buy my first Mac, because there was nothing like it for PCs. Nisus was my primary application for years, and now—after more than a decade in which it was all but useless to me—this app (now called Nisus Writer Pro (http://nisus.com/pro/)) is back on my A-list. Here’s why I’ve re-adopted it, and why I think more people should consider it.</p><h2>The everything tool</h2> <p> You could say I have a bit of history with Nisus Writer. After learning about Nisus in grad school, I became a user, then a fan, and then a trainer. I later got a part-time job working for the developer, Nisus Software, and eventually became the product manager for Nisus Writer. (So, disclaimer: I worked for the company from 1994 to 1997.) And my first real book, published while I was still an employee, was called The Nisus Way (http://alt.cc/tnw/). It was written both about and with Nisus Writer.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2157004/tools-of-the-trade-why-i-prefer-nisus-writer.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Tools of the trade: Why I prefer Nisus Writer (http://www.macworld.com/article/2157004/tools-of-the-trade-why-i-prefer-nisus-writer.html#tk.rss_all) |
