This may sound like a small thing, but it’s something I’ve always wanted and I find it really handy. But NWP offers the additional option of replacing the current highlighted item and not jumping away. Search & Replace: Both NWP and Word let you “replace all” or replace the item you’re currently looking at and then jump to the next. My brain is still not trained to use this feature, but I anticipate it being very handy once I get into the habit of actually looking at it. Alternatives are displayed for whatever word the cursor happens to be on. Thesaurus: There is a thesaurus in the “tool kit” to the right of the document. Even more amazing, I can drag and drop chapter names in Navigator, reordering them, which instantly reorders the sections in the document with astonishing ease! I can click on those titles and easily move around in the document. This causes the section titles to appear in Navigator. This inspired me to create three or four word descriptions of sections and apply a chapter-title style to them. Navigator allows the table of contents to be displayed in a column on the side of the document. Navigator: For a novelist, this is NWP’s best feature. In NWP I can achieve the same thing by holding down the shift key while I do Cmd-V - which is much more efficient! (I know that in Word, you can select “paste as text only” as the default - or so I recall from looking it up years ago - but that’s not an option I want to use). Pasting text-only: In Word I could paste text and then wait for a submenu to appear and use that to select “text only” which would get rid of styles and that was very handy.

This helps ensure continuity in both spelling and meaning. This allows me to collect phrases or terms used at one point in a long manuscript, and bring them to another point. Multiple clipboards: I longed to have this feature in Word, and I looked for it, but if it’s there, I never figured it out.

So here are a few new-to-me features I like: But since I’m new to NWP I’m much more likely to investigate possibilities.

I don’t doubt there is a lot I could have done with Word that I never got around to doing or figured out how to do. I used Word for so many years that I came to accept the way I did things and I was only occasionally inspired to seek out features I hadn’t used before. In the paragraphs that follow, I take a look at some of the things I like about it, but first let’s agree that a new program is an invitation to explore.

In that time I’ve finished drafting a novel, completed a full revision of that novel, written two short stories, 90% of a novelette, and I’m presently brainstorming a new novel.Īnd I’m very happy I made the switch to NWP! Since October I’ve been using NWP exclusively for fiction writing. Leaving a program I knew and understood quite well, for one that required me to repeatedly figure out how to do basic things - or to establish a way to do basic things - was frustrating. Maybe I glanced wistfully over my shoulder a few times.

So I downloaded a trial copy…and never looked back! NWP is Mac-only software, but it can save files in standard *.doc format - and it came highly recommended by other writers.

Last fall I bought a Mac Air laptop to replace my ancient Toshiba laptop, aka “the writing laptop.” Out of habit, I would have installed Microsoft Word, but I didn’t want to pay a monthly subscription and I didn’t want to install the very old version of Word-For-Mac that I have.
