Yes. I called up Paragon yesterday, having received Nisus and been
quite
dismayed to learn it had no footnoting capability. The gentleman on the
phone , Jim Bates I believe, sympathized and seemed quite sincere when
explaining that footnoting was one of their top priorities for the
summer release and that he expected the release to be out within the next
two months. Of course he also said he didn't want to make an promisese
that Paragon couldn't keep. 

They also hinted at an outlining feature like in FullWrite but did not
say whether that would be out in the summer release or a later version
far in the future. Jim claimed that the lack of footnotes was less an
oversight than one of those sacrifices thay were willing to make to 
get Nisus out on the shelves on time. Bit of a sacrifice to make, since
I can think of a lot of Nisus frills that could have been put on hold
till later to develop a good footnoting capability.

Nisus seems like my dream wordprocessor, and as soon as they get
footnotes onto it, I imagine it ver well could be.
