I want a >NisusWriter which will carry me forward for the next decade! -- One of the items not mentioned much is the zoom capability of NW Express. At least I take it to be a real zoom feature when you can see the actual font increase/decrease in size with either a field for typing the size or a slider which is really too fast for close changes; I mean going from 9 pt. to 20 pt. magnification is OK for the slider, but going from 9 pt. to 10 pt. is very difficult. The text size change is directly visible in the actual page, not like ZOOM in NW 6.5, and the font is perfectly enlarged - without jagged edges. rgds brianF --------------------------------------------------- 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]
