Big changes in Nisus Writer Pro 1.1

Nisus Writer Pro 1.1

In the latest skirmish in the endless battle for word processor supremacy, Nisus Writer Pro has been updated to version 1.1. The new features include enhanced commenting, a Mail Merge capability that uses the Mac OS X Address Book or csv files for a record source, a vastly improved Table of Contents generator, indexing, bookmarks for navigation or cross-references, an enhanced Nisus Macro Language (take that, Microsoft!), and the ability to embed Perl scripts. There are even more features, so visit the Nisus site for details.

Nisus does a great job of listening to their customers, and it appears that Nisus Writer Pro 1.1 has included many of the features requested by users of the initial release. The download version of Nisus Writer Pro 1.1 is $79 to new users, $49 for owners of Nisus Writer Express and free to owners of Nisus Writer Pro 1.0. A 15-day free trial download is available for this Universal Binary app (Mac OS X 10.4 or better required).

Nisus Writer Pro Beta available

Nisus Writer was a serious old-school classic Mac word processor with a devoted following. In the OS X era Nisus introduced Nisus Writer Express, which has a somewhat more limited feature set, but they promised a more powerful version, Nisus Writer Pro. It has has now finally arrived as a public beta. The new features (above Express) include support for Table of Contents, Indexing, Bookmarks, Floating Graphics and more. I have recently settled into Mellel as my anti-MS Word writing program of choice, but now it looks like I'm going to have give Nisus Writer Pro a full evaluation.

The Nisus Writer Pro beta is now available for download. The final price of Pro has not been announced, but in what seems to be related news, they've lowered the price of Express to $45.
