Yesterday, my copy of Nisus 3.0 and Coach Pro 3.01 from MacConnection
arrived. (An aside: MacConnection changed its shipping policy so that
it delivers on a saturday only if you request it!) Both Nisus and
Coach Pro seem really nice, however, I'm having a problem integrating
both of them: In Nisus, Coach is lacking some functionality -
1. Assigning the 'Suggest Spelling' hotkey to anything other than
certain <option>-<character> does not invoke the suggest spelling
function unless I go back and manually highlite the word Coach Pro
beeped at. Of course, its a total diaster to use <option>-<character>
as the hotkey for 'Suggest Spelling', since <option> is used by Coach
Pro to abort the current search.
2. Batch checking dosen't have much functionality: The spelling
check is done, but Coach Pro is unable to insert the correct spelling
back into the document.
It seems a shame that these two programs don't seem to work together
very well. Being a law student, I find having Coach Pro's legal
words very useful, not to mention that it is also a superb spelling
checking. Nisus is feature loaded, does things the right way (I think
storing documents as a data fork=TEXT file, resource fork=formatting
is the proper way to do things... its amazing that other word
processors dont do this); I'd hate to have to choose between them.
Anyway, if anyone out there has gotten these two program to work
together, I'd appreciate some help. Since I don't get a chance to read
this newsgroup very often, please send mail to me. I'll post a
summary in a few days.
