Hello Brian, Thanks for your quick answer! This letter somehow stayed in my draft folder (you can see I still haven't switched to nisus mail yet :-), I am still in the trial) phase with that one...
I had originally moved the installation icon to the desktop folder, but it hadn't worked, so I did what you suggested, uninstalled (trashed) NW, and installed again from OSX. I was surprised, because I did not know it could be done. All the other applications I have installed in OS9 I did it starting up in OS9, and they all work fine under Classic, so it did not ocurr to me there was any other way to do it. (Our Macs always will surprise us..). I am very glad that the OSX version will have zoom. It is an item less for my wish list :-) (others so far include a more intuitive table tool -I can barely figure out how to draw the lines; a better grammar tool, and the ability to work directly on the layout page). I have to say so far I am very impressed at the software, and think I will keep it. The OSX sneak preview looks great. Thanks Gabrielle > > Gabrielle, this relates to Nisus Writer.
