Nisus Writer Pro is a powerful multilingual word processor that offers significant advantages over the Express version.
These include features such as Table of Contents, Indexing, Bookmarks, Widow and Orphan control, Cross References, Line Numbering, and Text Wrap around images. It also includes all of the Classic features of course such as attribute sensitive Find and Replace, an upgraded Nisus Macro Language, and Glossaries.
In the latest version, the developers have added a variety of additional options to control the display of notes. So for example, footnotes can now also span across pages. Nisus Writer Pro is elegantly presented and is packed with lots of powerful features. However, there's no avoiding the fact that it is very slow, even when compared with Microsoft Word. Opening documents takes far longer than it should do and Nisus Writer Pro seems far more bloated than it should be at around 153MB.
Nisus Writer Pro is an interesting and powerful word processor but is let down by the speed at which it handles documents.
