My major problems with Nisus were:
1) no style sheets (just char. styles; neat, but not enough)
2) marginal control over paragraphs, e.g., no 'space before' setting
3) virtually useless conversion from MS Word (largely a result of the
above); to win users away from Word (e.g., me), they'll have to
provide a good migration route
Any improvements in these areas?
