• Runs in Classic mode under Mac OSX

• Added outlining (see the Outline submenu of the Tools menu).
• Added the Document Manager (see the Documents menu to the right of the Gear/Cogwheel menu).
• Changed: moving paragraphs (selected by "quadruple-clicking" 4-clicks) has been changed.

Drag and Drop adds an additional return at the end of the selection.

If the Find/Replace checkbox "In Selection" is on, but there is no selection and the user initiates a search/replace operation, the checkbox is automatically turned off and the operation carried out on the active document.

• When opening a new document, using the supplied Nisus New File template, the counters are setup to be hierarchically related and Custom Counter F is set to not display but to re-set all other counters.
