They do have a trial version, for both Pro and Express.įile format changes drive me nuts, too.

Probably around €50 max (I would bothered and researched a lot more for more than that, in particular the full €80.). Don't remember what I paid for the Pro – there was a rebate going on. All my old files are in Pages, and I wouldn't look forward to migrating all of them to a different wordprocessor if I didn't have to.Ĭlick to expand.Can't help you with the features of Express vs. However, as I said, I'll probably stick with Pages, or at least give the newest version a try. What I'm investigating is what the Express doesn't do. I'd have to be very enamoured of the extra features to get the Pro. the Express is under £20, while the Pro is nearly £80. I really don't understand why that's not possible.

I would love to find a wordprocessing programme that at least reads and can convert all old files created in that programme. As a writer who works on stuff over a long period, and has stashed lots of research material since the late 90s, this is a pain in the arse. Otherwise, another version or two later, I won't be able to open them any more.

#Mellel vs nisus writer pro upgrade

Each time I upgrade to a newer version of Pages, I end up going through ALL my old documents and upgrading each one. Is Nisus Writer fairly backwards-compatible? That's another issue with me, that annoys me a bit about Pages. All my old files are in Pages, and I wouldn't look forward to migrating all of them to a different wordprocessor if I didn't have to. (NB: The standard special characters applet of the Mac, now called 'Emoji & Symbols', does know the names, can search for them by name, and can be used to insert them into any text.)Ĭlick to expand.The price difference is pretty big. You'll need a separate resource to use them – and, as we have seen, probably throw some other poor chap into frustration if you send them the file containing them. You can also enter them via the 'Insert special character' function which shows a table of all the special characters (depending on the selected font!), but the ones I'm talking about here only show up as empty squares, and LibreOffice and Word do not show their names, which is bad, since they have different functions that can be deduced from their names. They do not mark them you can enter them (in the Win version) with Alt Gr+number block. Just to fill some more information about the invisible unicode characters: LibreOffice 5.3 (current version) and Word up until 2010/11 (from google, have no later version available to test) do not seem to be aware of these characters.

Just in case I haven't been clear, this is how it looks (imagine the rest of the text is fully-justifed): I understand it's only doing what it's been instructed to do, but the full alignment format should not apply when you use a return to begin a new paragraph. Why is it wanting to fully justify this one line? I've checked for rouge spaces and returns, I've even deleted the line and written it again, but even as I type it does the weird spacing. I've tried reformatting the whole document back to left justified, but as soon as I go back to full justification this one line gets the weird spacing thing. I like to use the fully justified option when using OO, but while reading through my WIP just now I noticed one, five-word line which ends one of the paragraphs, has the words spaced out so they conform to the full justification formatting.
