Easy to use, elegant and powerful
PaoloTtDecember 24, 2013
Pros
Complete features for professional writing, complexity hidden by a smart design making it look nearly basic, attention to each single customer from the developers, compatible with standard formats (RTF as the native format, DOC/X well supported).
Cons
Some layout features missing (but I don't need them), price a bit high for today's standards (but it is easy to grab it at nominal price on sales or bundles).
Summary
Not an alternative to the notorius mammooth for writing, but _the_ professional wordprocesso for Mac. Less user interface, more writing. The only contender is Mellel.
Better multilingual WP available
gnoliDecember 2, 2010
Pros
Easy of use; multilingual features.
Cons
Output quality; integration with Bookends (good, but not the better possible)
Summary
This word processor is the better if you seek great multilingual features. If your goal is to write academic papers, Mellel is the better choice.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I am running a Mac Book Pro 2.1 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 10.4.11. I have been using Open Office (3.2 - Intel only) recently and it comes with a full blown spread sheet, presentation, drawing, etc. NeoOffice would not automatically open the files that Open Office does. People have said there are some advantages to NeoOffice I don't use. Why pay $79 for a program you can get for free (should donate if you start using a lot) unless you have a PPC, even though it does not say will work with OS X 10.6, You may want to investigate (download and try) because Version Tracker sometimes lacks up to date info. Lot of bug fixes for what is actually commercial. NOte: when you do a review please tell us what your OS is and the machine or processor so the rest of us can make the evaluation that relates to us.
Best Mac Word Processor

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Why Nisus Writer Pro is my new favourite OS X word processor: ItÃ¢??s fast, lightweight, and easy to learn and use, but is still rich in features; it has a lovely interface that allows easy access and customization of the toolbar and sidebar; keyboard shortcuts can easily be assigned for almost any action; imports other document formats extremely accurately (at least of version 1.2, though I hear there were some issues prior to this); itÃ¢??s extremely stable; uses .rtf as its default file format instead of a unique and nontransferable file format (like Mariner Write or Mellel); itÃ¢??s backed up by excellent supportÃ¢??I received very quick and friendly responses to a bug report regarding an issue that turned out to be my (or rather UnsanityÃ¢??s) bad. ThereÃ¢??s no substitute for stability in a word processor. The fact is that Nisus runs extremely smoothly and handles all aspects of document formatting and management perfectly in a nearly universally compatible format. There are plenty of good options for word processing on OS X, but Nisus Writer Pro, in my opinion, is leading the pack. Also, Nisus Software offers excellent educational pricing, making this app accessible for students without a lot of disposable income.
The best.

My Default Word Processor Isn't Word

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've been using Nisus since the Classic days. I have Microsoft Office and it sits on my hard disk waiting to open files that people send me in .doc format. I never write in Word. It's too cumbersome and it keeps trying to put me right. On the other hand lots of my files have the Nisus icon. Nisus is easy to use, does what you want and doesn't fight you. The days when Word will take up valuable hard disk space are numbered.

The Upgrade Charge Is Quite Unsettling and Callous...

Summary
...to NWX Supporters!<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I paid $69.95 for Nisus Writer Express. Now that Nisus Writer Pro is for sale at $79.00, Nisus Writer Express is selling for $45.00. Nisus Writer Express supporters must pay $45.00 to upgrade to Nisus Writer Pro. Some might say, "Biting the hands that brought you over." Others could say, "Exploitative!" Some will just call it as it appears, "LOW DOWN AND DIRTY!" Nisus Marketing has put a frighteningly ugly colour on this application for me. I don't care how fine it might be. I supported Nisus way back when just to witness true greed now from this vendor. Why, why, why do such a greedy, slimy, crawling on your belly thing?!
