New problem with Nisus Writer Pro
Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2020 2:40 pm
I am having a new problem with Nisus Writer Pro and Bookends. It's somewhat complicated, but I can describe a simple version that, if resolved, will probably also fix the complicated version. I am working on a new M1 Mac mini, with current versions of NWP (Universal) and Bookends.
If I open a new NWP document, insert a citation (using Cmd-Y, these commands, such as inserting a reference, activating Bookends, or finding a reference work fine when initiated from NPW, so that communication link seems unproblematic), and then scan the document, I get two dialogs: the first says something like "Preparing .." I believe, but it flashes by too quickly for me to read. The second dialog says "Processing in Bookends ..." and then hangs. I never get the dialog from Bookends to confirm the bibliographic style, etc. I can cancel this dialog, but of course the scan never completes.
I also own Microsoft Word and Mellel. I am having no problems between these apps and Bookends. Word is the latest, Universal version. Mellel is, I believe, still an Intel app running in Rosetta 2.
I have reported this on the Nisus forum as well.
