A few months back some folks on the net wanted to know about software 
for the legal profession. Nisus version 2.1 has a new feature
that places line numbers adjacent to the left of two vertical lines
for the creation of a "pleading" page--a page numbering style that is
commonly used for legal documents. Pleading pages are numbered every other
line, even if the text is indented and single spaced. Nisus supports this
style of numbering. The line numbers on the pleading page can be cross
referenced as well, like all line numbering options in Nisus.

There are a couple of existing features in Nisus that are ideal for
legal word processing as well. The strike through style can be used for
"red lining" text. You could create a "named" user style to do this and
keep track of when something was "red lined" via a unique name assigned to
the user style. With Nisus' powerful search and replace you could
search out all of the "red lined" text and make it invisible. Searching
for text can also be done in un-opened documents. And finally, there is 
an optional legal dictionary available in either a British or U.S. version.

One more welcome feature in v2.1 is improved support for Word file
formats: reading Word version 3 and 4, including footnotes,
and writing Word version 3.

Nisus v2.1 will begin shipping mid March, 1990.
