What's new in this version: Versin 1.1.11 fixes a bug caused by the bug fix in version 1.1.10. *sigh* Looks like I was a little too eager to get my release out after the long hiatus, but the wrinkles are all worked out now. Version 1.1.9 was a pretty minor upgrade from the previous. Unfortunately, this release does not work on G3 processors. G4 processors may actually benefit from my mistake. If you have an old, old, mac with a G3 processor then you are awesome! Also, you will have to wait for the next release. In the me... See all new features

"System of choice for long documents"
Version: Jer's Novel Writer 1.1.11
Pros
This is a word processor entirely optimised for writing long prose. It has minimal formatting and no layout features, but integrates powerful databasing, margin notes and other items useful to the long document writer. Outlining is very good.
Cons
It can be a little flakey if you want to change fonts ? but you shouldn't want to, since ePub format and the manuscript requirements of publishers reject those kind of changes.
Summary
Word starts to crash when documents go over sixty pages. Pages is great for layout intensive stuff, but doesn't offer the writer anything extra. Jer's Novel Writer, in common with others such as Scrivener, is designed to provide the maximum help and stability for those whose business is long-form prose, removing every other distraction, and even allowing a full-screen, distraction free mode. It gives good integration of tools you actually need ? spelling, dictionary, thesaurus, outlining, Google search, and rich text notes. It avoids mail-merge, tables, boxes, and all the stuff you don't. This is _not_ suitable for technical writing with its need to embed charts, graphs and figures. It is _highly_ suitable for writing text to be laid out or published by someone else, and for ePub.
