Nisus Software has announced the release of Nisus Writer Pro 1.1, the latest version of their critically acclaimed word processor. Nisus Writer Pro 1.1 adds new features such as Comments, Mail Merge, Go to Page, and more. Classic Nisus Writer users will appreciate the addition of a large caret option, and many additions and enhancements to the Nisus Macro Language. Danish and Polish localizations have also been added.

These new features add to an already rich feature set that includes an easy-to-use interface, multilingual text support, easy to use style system, non-contiguous selection, full screen mode, and a native file format (RTF) that almost any word processor can read.
