information related to the shape of your paragraph, in the “gutter” or (depending on the alignment)
closest margin of your document as illustrated in Figure 18. To do so, choose the menu command
View > Show Paragraph Formatting Icons. You can drag and drop these icons elsewhere in your
document thereby applying the relevant formatting elsewhere. Clicking the icon displays the same
menu as clicking it matching icon on the Statusbar which is explained below.

The Nisus Writer Pro Statusbar
At the bottom of the document window (except in Full Screen view) Nisus Writer Pro displays a
“Statusbar”. This bar gives you information (displayed in “tags”) about the document and any
selection within the document. In addition it gives you easy access to a variety of formatting tools.
