Is anyone else using Nisus Writer Express?
Actually, I'm not really using it, as it isn't functional. It takes
forty
five minutes to open a 500 page RTF document (no graphics or fancy
stuff), and that only gives me a blank window. Twenty minutes later I'm
shown the copy. Fifty minutes before I could work on the doc! I changed
one word and saved it. That took seven minutes. Tried another document
of
the same size. Same old drill -- the spinning beachball and the Express
progress bar (progress?) ad nauseum. Mellel 1.6.5.1 opened a formatted
copy of the same file in just over a minute.
I agree with about Nisus Writer Express. Although I haven't actually
got to the point of trying to open a 500 page document with it, nothing
I have seen in it has encouraged me to do much more than explore its
interface. Certainly, it's no replacement for its MacOS 9 progenitor.
Mellel, on the other hand, is very promising, and gets more so with
each update. Still not ready for full time use, IMHO, but it's getting
there.
