Hopefully FullWrite |>and/or Nissus (even Word?) might include these in future releases. | |Sorry, Nisus will not offer any support for scientific and mathematical |typesetting in the first release. And frankly, probably not in |the second or third either. Unless the powers on high at Paragon |are convinced by a barrage of phone calls and letters that there |is a large demand for technical features in a word processor, |programmers will not be assigned to the task. | |> (1) multiple (adjustable?) levels of sub- and super-scripts. |> (2) Intuitive CHARACTER overstrike capability | |Both good ideas, both also currently lacking in Nisus. | |> (3) a general wish would be macros and command-key assignment | |We hope to have QUED/M-style macros in the first release of Nisus. |Command key assignments will definitely be included. Any item in |any menu can be assigned a command key equivalent. | |Nisus is currently slated for an August release. | |Greg grobbins@ucsd.uucp |Paragon Concepts, Inc. @ucsd.edu | |The above does not represent official views of Paragon Concepts, Inc.
