Unless you trashed the original NW Installer and cleared the trash, there should be no need to download another unless it is damaged. I agree that you should at least remove all vestiges of the current version of NW Demo. Apart from the Nisus Writer folder itself, there will be some Preference files in the System Folder. Trash them. Then boot in OS X, put the NW installer into the Applications (OS 9) folder so you know where it is and instal from there, which is basically what the alert message says. I am sure that, at the time I installed from its CD Nisus Writer 6.5 on the iBook, it would have been booted from OS X 10.1.3. ============= >Gabrielle > >p.s. Isn1t there a way to zoom the window? I have gotten used to reading big >letters. --- NO, NO. But look at the new NW X on the Nisus web site. Up in the top right corner of the Tool bar, there is a little slider for changing the magnification. In Composer, the magnification goes from 10 percent to 1600 percent. 1600%. Wow. This will sell more Nisus Writer X products than almost anything else. The Size of the font is not changed but as you move the slider you can see the visible change in text. Much better than anything I've seen anywhere. No wonder Okito and Nisus got together (((-: ================================= Regards from Brian Ferguson Mac OS X 10.2.2 & Nisus Email X 1.6.1 ================================= --------------------------------------------------- The Nisus Interactive List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/nisus-interactive%40nisus.com/ To unsubscribe from this list please send a message with "unsubscribe nisus-interactive" in the body of the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
